Chung-Jung Chiu, PhD, of the Laboratory for Nutrition and Vision Research, Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University, led this new analysis of Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS) data.
One involves taking the high daily doses of vitamin C (500 mg), vitamin E (400 IU), beta-carotene (25,000 IU), and zinc (80 mg) that were used in the first Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS), a clinical trial that the National Eye Institute completed in 2001.
The long-term Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS), conducted by the National Eye Institute, found that supplementing the anti-oxidants beta-carotene, vitamin C, vitamin E, and the mineral zinc reduced the risk of developing advanced states of macular degeneration in more than 4,700 high-risk patients aged 55 to 80 who were enrolled in the study.
