How Retina Clear Works
Retina Clear's formula has two distinct parts: a fully dosed vitamin and mineral panel, and a larger proprietary blend where individual amounts aren't broken out. Here's each, explained plainly.
Retina ClearPart 1: The Dosed Panel
| Nutrient | Amount | % Daily Value |
|---|---|---|
| Vitamin A (Beta Carotene) | 450mcg RAE | 50% |
| Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) | 90mg | 100% |
| Vitamin E (DL-Alpha Tocopheryl Acetate) | 15mg | 100% |
| Zinc (Zinc Oxide) | 11mg | 100% |
| Selenium (Selenium AAC) | 20mcg | 36% |
| Copper (Copper Gluconate) | 0.9mg | 100% |
| Chromium (Chromium Picolinate) | 15mcg | 43% |
Part 2: The 351mg Proprietary Blend
Fourteen botanicals — Taurine, Ginkgo Biloba, Eyebright, Grape Seed, Coleus Forskohlii, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Rutin, Quercetin, Bilberry, Saffron, Lycopene, Lutein, Zeaxanthin, Astaxanthin — combined into a single 351mg weight. This means the label doesn't tell you how much lutein versus how much astaxanthin you're actually getting per capsule.
Retina ClearThe beta-carotene safety note
The panel includes 450mcg RAE of Vitamin A as beta-carotene (50% DV). Two large trials, CARET and ATBC, found this type of supplementation raised lung cancer risk in smokers and people who'd quit within the past year. AREDS2, the major clinically studied eye-health formula, removed beta-carotene entirely in 2013 for this reason. If you smoke or recently quit, talk to your doctor before taking this product.
