Dr. Al Sears wrote in a newsletter that “Synthetic, lab-created, vitamin A can build up to toxic levels and damage your liver. They’re sold as retinyl palmitate and they’re made by combining an ester of retinol with synthesized palmitic acid.” Is he correct that retinyl palmitate-containing supplements should be avoided?

Some vitamin A supplements on the market are plant-based forms, like beta-carotene, but most rely on retinyl palmitate, made by combining an ester of retinol with synthesized palmitic acid. Is using retinyl palmitate supplementation to obtain a healthy level of vitamin A both safe and effective, or being a synthetic substance, does it have limitations or toxicity compared to ingesting Vitamin A-rich foods?

Of the five supplements for helping vision, to economize is it sufficient in most cases to use the top two supplements, Advanced Vision Formula and OcuXanthin, or can it be very important to have the top three by including Nutra Vision?

Can the OcuXanthin be dropped as three of its ingredients are already in the top-ranked supplement, and inexpensive hyaluronic acid can replace its single unique ingredient?

Advanced Vision Formula from Advanced Bionutritionals is promoted as containing astaxanthin, discovered by Johns Hopkins researchers to be able to reach eye tissues despite the blood-retinal barrier, which excludes many substances, much like the blood-brain barrier. This is especially valuable because astaxanthin has 10 times higher potency than related antioxidants. The supplement contains 15 nutraceuticals: 1,126 mcg Vitamin A (as mixed carotenoids from D. salina providing zeaxanthin, beta-cryptoxanthin, lutein, beta-carotene, and alpha-carotene); 240 mg Vitamin C; 15 mg Zinc picolinate; 300 mg Citrus Bioflavonoid Complex; 120 mg Bilberry fruit extract; 120 mg Ginkgo leaf extract: 50 mg Grape seed extract; 250 mg Taurine; 200 mg N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine; 50 mg Alpha Lipoic Acid; 10 mg Lutein; 3 mg Zeaxanthin; 4 mg Astaxanthin; 250 mg Citicoline; and 400 mg Beta Glucan. How would you rank overall effectiveness of the Advanced Vision Formula compared to ReVision or Dr. Allan Spreen’s OcuXanthin for serious eye problems?
