ICaps Dietary Supplement Lutein and Zeaxanthin Formula is a specialized, comprehensive formula of carotenoids, antioxidants and minerals important to vision. Lutein and Zeaxanthin are natural carotenoids that have been shown through structural and clinical studies to be concentrated in the macular segment of the retina. These carotenoids are not produced by the human body, and their accumulation in the eye is dependent on dietary intake. Studies suggest a relationship between these two carotenoids and the maintenance of a normally healthy macula and clarity of the lens of the eye. Zinc is an important mineral found in high concentrations in healthy eyes. Zinc Acetate has been proven to be the form of Zinc with greatest absorption by the body.

Nauseated Feeling

by L. J. Pellitteri from on 2010-02-16
I have been taking these pills off and on. If I don't keep my stomach filled for a couple hours after I take them I get nauseated and it lasts at least half the day. Sometimes even if I keep eating I still feel bad, so I am not wanting to take them every day. I am sure they work great, but until I get the nauseous feeling under control, I am going to be in the dark as to how they will work with me. I had LASIK surgery a few years ago so I was hoping these pills would be good for my eyes.

They don't seem to disolve

by G. Gray from on 2010-01-25
I hate to be indelicate but something about the coating used on the ICaps keeps them from disolving in my stomach. They seem to go straight through untouched. I will have to try them in some kind of smoothie I guess. Unfortunately my blender is loaned out to an elderly parent with cancer. Once I get access to a blender I will try taking these again but for now it literally is money down the drain.

I Caps for halthy eyes

The delivery was very prompt and the price on Amazon was considerably lower than the in-store prices. This product was recommended to maintain the health of my eyes by my opthal DR.

Great gifts for elderly overseas

by M. LIOU from on 2009-09-03
For some reasons, I am still puzzled these days, friends and relatives overseas seem like USA made vitamins/supplements a lot and the ICAPS is very a popular supplement in their senior group. Thus, every time when I travel overseas I always bring couple of ICAPS with me in order save some "gift" headache.

Recommended by my specialist eye doctor. These, together with good sunglasses, help preserve eye health - both before any problem, and then supposedly help prevent progression of wet macula degeneration.

VITAMINS FOR GOOD EYESIGHT

All I can tell you, is that I purchase these for my Mom. And they work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Enough said??

A vision for you

by Bill Zauche from Santa Barbara, CA USA on 2010-03-02
I started using these vitamins -- with Lutein -- several years ago, at the suggestion of my eye doctor. At the time, he warned me that my cataracts would require surgery a few years down the road but said the Preservision might stave off the time for awhile. Since then, the cataracts are about the same size as they were when I started the daily dose of vitamins. No one has said I'm out of the woods on this, but I feel they have given me some more time before a surgery is again mentioned. Often we wonder whether supplements do any good, but, in this case, I believe they live up to the expectations people have for them.

This was recomended by my husbands optomologist

by D. Claybaugh from Alabama on 2009-08-11
I am hopeful that this product helps my husbands macular degeneration. His optomologist has recomended it for him. She told him that what they were hoping for is to preserve what vision he has. Actually he has been taking it for about a month now and we believe that his vision has improved somewhat.

Found at Last

by phyllisss from Redondo Beach, CA on 2008-10-30
This product was recommended to me by my retina specialist. It is very hard to find in the drugstores. I am an ex-smoker so cannot take the eye vitamins containing beta-carotene. Thanks to Amazon I don't have to spend any more time searching for this product!

Great product, fast shipping.

by N. Salas from Davie, FLORIDA on 2009-11-28
No problems....good product. Was taking Centrum before and made the switch over to the generic stuff. Pleased thus far.

Great deal

by Kareem Hamdi from Bergen County, NJ on 2009-10-28
My parents gave me this huge jug of pills so i didn't have to pay for it. With all vitamins you can't really tell if they're working unless you the FDA will do a study to prove this (which they will never do because of funding for pharmacuticals). So since im taking these vitamins for mature 50+ they have more % daily value so better for the money, and the price looks cheaper from other products out there. These pills are pretty hard to swallow, but if you fill your mouth up completly with a glass of water before you try to swallow it makes it easier. And since its one pill a day... this bottle should last me hmmmm... 400 DAYS!!!! if thats not a sole reason to buy it, then i don't know what is.P.S. I lost 100 lbs by dieting, working out, and doing my research on health products. This is especially good for someone dieting and cutting down on calories. You will need the extra vitamins to make up for the lack of vitamins your body isn't recieving from food. Also east plenty of fruits that are lower on sugar, apples, bananas, strawberries (which are extremely high in vitamin C, and good for people that can't eat oranges because of the acidity), Oranges, Blueberries.Good Luck and Good Health

Too big to swallow

by Donald Hirsch from Holmdel, NJ USA on 2009-10-12
I had difficulty swallowing these pills. They should cut the size in half and recommend two of them instead. I now use Centrum silver, which are easy for me to swallow.

Excellent multi

by CatladyDane from Orlando, FL, USA on 2009-10-11
I like the "completeness" of these. They have a good % of the RDA of the many vitamins & minerals that they provide. Value priced, too! And they don't taste bad when I crush or chew them (although they are not "chewables".) The quantity of 400 means that I won't have to be constantly reordering.

In response to a previous review...

by Healthy Thinker from on 2010-07-26
As a loyal customer of this product I wanted to take a minute to respond to the review by "RisingMoon". I feel the review was unfair and overly dramatic. The product definitely has a vitamin smell, I am not disagreeing with that, but so do all vitamins unless you are using a cheap drugstore vitamin that is full of chemical deodorizers to mask the natural odor vitamins have. I contacted the company that makes Daily Journey and they confirmed for me that there are no chemical deodorizers in this product. I keep mine in the fridge which really reduces the vitamin smell (I do this for my kids' chewable vitamins too-yes even chewable vitamins smell like vitamins if they are *real* vitamins!!). The company said they don't recommend it since the product is in a vegetarian capsule and it may cause cracking, but I do it anyway and have had no problems at all. I love Daily Journey- it's a great product, easy to swallow, easy to digest, and I will continue to use it. I hope they put out more products in this capsule size to add to my vitamin regimen.

Tiny - but you have to take THREE!!!

by Fair_weather_fan from Bloomington, IN USA on 2010-07-14
These multivitamin-mineral capsules are indeed small and easy to swallow, but a "daily serving" according to the package is THREE capsules. And the ingredient list on the container is based on a serving of three capsules; the amount in one single capsule would not compare to any of the once-a-day vitamin brands I have used or looked at - so you gotta take three, and that can get to be a problem. I only take vitamins with meals because they do tend to cause nausea, so mostly I end up taking two a day, since I usually have one meal that is either too busy, or I'm away from home, or I just don't feel up to taking ANY pills (like at breakfast). I suppose I could try taking two at one meal, and see if that causes nausea??? Also, there is no iron in these, so I take a separate iron caplet; this may not be an issue for most people, but for women who are having periods or anyone who has had a bleeding ulcer in the past, it's better to be on the safe side (and get your blood checked occasionally). I don't think I'll be buying these again, but I do find that the major brand vitamins that are only taken once a day are huge, and sometimes cause nausea for me even when I do take them with a meal - so I'm still looking for the perfect vitamin-mineral product...

Daily Journey Multi-vitamin

by blueizzy from on 2010-07-12
Product rec'd in timely manner. I am amazed at how small the capsules are. They are very easy to swallow. Product is exactly as advertised.

Great pill size, but smells Awful

by RisingMoon from on 2010-06-22
Just thought I would post this because I wish I had known this before purchasing the product. I ordered this product because its contents seem to be the most comprehensive among all the multivitamins and had small sized pills. While the size is in fact small and the content is listed as comprehensive, I never realized that these qualities meant I had to swallow something that smells god awful. Upon opening the box I was greeted with a terrible smell. I thought it was just the packaging and so I continued to open the bottle and to my most unpleasant surprise, the pills smelled worse. I haven't tried the product, so I cannot attest to the quality. However, the capsules look like a generic clear casing that was filled with a peppered yellow powder. I think I'm safer with the new VitaGummies from One a Day even though they are not nearly as comprehensive. I'm a firm believer that your pores exhude what you eat, and I can't imagine smelling like this! The choice is between comprehensive product and swalling something that doesn't smell or look so great. I leave the choice up to you!Hope this helps!

I really like this product

by Mary Jo Baughman from on 2009-11-14
I really like this multi-vitamin. I am a licensed esthetician who does facials for a living and after reading an article by Dr.Murad decided to find a multi-vitamin with the vitamins he suggests for healthy skin. I chose this product and have been very satisfied. Despite 2 family members getting sick recently I have stayed healthy, whether it is luck or due to this vitamin I am not sure haha. Love the small size, amazing that everything you need can fit into this small capsule. Makes you think the larger vitamins have a lot of fillers or are not in their purest form. Would definitely recommend Mikroling!

Ultra Source of Life by Nature's Plus - 180 tablets

Seems to help!

by A. Morelli from New York on 2010-07-20
Ultra Source of Life vitamins were recommended to me by a friend who has been taking them for a few years and says they help her have energy and feel good. She said she noticed a difference when she ran out and had to go without them. I have been taking for several months and they seem to be helping me feel more energetic. I recently noticed my fingernails are stronger. It seems like a good product because there are a lot of other things included besides vitamins like bee pollen, whole food extracts, lutein, algaes, etc. Also, even if I take them without much food, they don't upset my stomach like other supplements have. I guess my only caution would be the fact that I haven't done a whole lot of research into potential side effects of ALL the other ingredients. (There are so many!) But if you're looking for a good multi-vit, this is a good one to try out! (p.s. Buying on Amazon.com got me the same product for MUCH cheaper than the local health-food store.)

Best I have taken!

by P. Adler from Midwest, USA on 2010-07-16
These vitamins are the best I have taken and I can see the results when I stop taking them (guilty of doing that) or don't take them consistantly. The price is also excellent for a whole food vitamin. Give them a try!

Love Nature's Plus

by S. Walker from Upstate NY on 2010-06-05
My first choice is Source of Life liquid vitamin but this is my stand by for hectic mornings when I don't have time to make my "Green Goo" (liquid vitamins, crushed ice and oj).

back packer must

by freakna from auburn ca on 2010-03-20
i do a lot of back packing, weeks to months on end. food supply is limited, we pack, fish & hunt when we can but sooner or later it will be just u, jar of peanut butter and these. check the supplment facts, lots of good stuff. because they have whole foods, herbs, enzymes. they wont hurt ur stomach when food supplies run low. they do help with energy but more importent. the keep u alive. i take them daily.
