What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 4 of its 4 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

EyesAlive Vision Nutrition contains 4 active ingredients: bilberry extract, astaxanthin, lutein, and zeaxanthin. Bilberry and zeaxanthin are carotenoid antioxidants found naturally in plants; astaxanthin is a related pigment from algae and seafood.

Lutein is a plant pigment concentrated in leafy greens and the eye. All four are aimed at supporting eye and vision health.

The product also includes inactive ingredients — microcrystalline cellulose (a filler), gelatin (capsule material), magnesium stearate (a flow agent), silica, and astaxanthin and lutein beadlets (forms of the actives).

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: eye health and vision support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), Asthenopia (eye strain), Cataracts, Diabetic retinopathy, Dry eye, Glaucoma — and 4 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Lutein is rated "Possibly Effective" for Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Lutein is rated "Possibly Effective" for Cataracts.
  • Also on file: Zeaxanthin is rated "Possibly Effective" for Age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

The evidence for this product's ingredients varies widely. Lutein and zeaxanthin are both possibly effective for age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and lutein is possibly effective for cataracts.

Bilberry extract is rated possibly ineffective for night vision, while evidence is insufficient to rate it for AMD, atherosclerosis, chronic venous insufficiency, or age-related cognitive decline. Astaxanthin has insufficient evidence for AMD, cognitive decline, aging skin, Alzheimer disease, athletic performance, or carpal tunnel syndrome.

In short, lutein and zeaxanthin may help with AMD and lutein with cataracts, but the broader benefits of this combination are not yet well established.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Bilberry Astaxanthin Lutein Zeaxanthin

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 3 of the 4 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 4 of 4.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 4 of 4.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Bilberry extract is generally well tolerated when eaten as food, though concentrated supplements lack long-term safety data; the safety notes advise caution with supplement doses. Most common side effects from bilberry are dark-colored stools, flatulence, and gastrointestinal discomfort; a small number of trial participants reported mild-to-moderate flatulence or temporary GI upset.

Your tongue, teeth, and stool may turn dark blue or black. Astaxanthin is generally well tolerated, though long-term safety is limited.

A small number of trial participants experienced abdominal pain, diarrhea, or red-colored stools at typical doses. Pregnancy safety data for astaxanthin are insufficient; the safety notes advise against it in pregnancy and while breastfeeding.

Lutein from food and typical supplement doses is generally well tolerated, with no adverse effects reported at doses up to 20 mg daily. Zeaxanthin is generally well tolerated at typical supplement amounts.

Both lutein and zeaxanthin are rated likely safe in pregnancy and lactation, though supplement safety while breastfeeding has not been well studied.

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 3 of the 4 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Bilberry, Astaxanthin, Zeaxanthin.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 872 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before taking EyesAlive Vision Nutrition, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (moderate risk of increased bleeding), diabetes medications (moderate risk of low blood sugar), the cancer drug erlotinib, or any drugs metabolized by your liver's CYP2E1, CYP3A4, or CYP2B6 enzymes — bilberry, astaxanthin, and zeaxanthin may change how well these drugs work or how high their levels climb in your blood.

Check your own medication Run your meds through the checker above

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product may be worth considering if you're interested in eye health, especially for age-related macular degeneration or cataracts — lutein and zeaxanthin have some evidence for those. However, if you take blood thinners, diabetes medications, or drugs your liver metabolizes through the CYP2E1, CYP2A4, or CYP2B6 pathways, you'll need to check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.

Astaxanthin isn't advised in pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Talk over your full medication list and health situation with your own healthcare provider before adding this to your routine.

Astaxanthin2 drug types · 671 drugs

Cytochrome P450 2B6 (Cyp2B6) Substrates

Theoretically, astaxanthin may decrease levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2B6.
In vitro research shows that astaxanthin induces cytochrome CYP2B6 enzyme activity in human hepatocytes. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Theoretically, astaxanthin may decrease levels of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.
In vitro research shows that astaxanthin induces CYP3A4 enzyme activity in human hepatocytes. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Astaxanthin full monograph & interactions

Bilberry extract4 drug types · 275 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, bilberry fruit extract might increase the risk of bleeding when taken with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro, animal, and clinical research suggest that anthocyanidin extracts from bilberry can inhibit platelet aggregation.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, bilberry leaf or fruit extract may increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
Animal research suggests that bilberry leaf extract might have blood glucose-lowering activity. Also, one small clinical trial in patients with type 2 diabetes shows that taking bilberry fruit extract 470 mg as a single dose prior to an oral glucose tolerance test lowers plasma glucose levels when compared with placebo.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2E1 (Cyp2E1) Substrates

Theoretically, bilberry fruit extract might decrease levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2E1.
Animal research shows that exposure to small concentrations of bilberry extract in drinking water for around one month increased CYP2E1 activity by 31%. However, exposure over a 2-month period did not increase CYP2E1 activity. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Erlotinib (Tarceva)

Theoretically, bilberry fruit extract might reduce the efficacy of erlotinib.
In vitro research suggests that bilberry fruit extract and its constituents, delphinidin and delphinidin-3-O-glucoside, inhibit the activity of erlotinib. This interaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Bilberry extract full monograph & interactions

OmniXan Zeaxanthin1 drug type · 86 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, taking zeaxanthin with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
In an animal diabetic model, zeaxanthin has hypoglycemic effects. However, population research has found that increasing intake of dietary zeaxanthin plus lutein does not decrease the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

EyesAlive Vision Nutrition by Swanson: Common Questions

Does EyesAlive Vision Nutrition by Swanson interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, EyesAlive Vision Nutrition has a known interaction with 871 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
EyesAlive Vision Nutrition contains 4 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Is this safe to take while I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Bilberry and lutein are rated likely safe in pregnancy and lactation. Zeaxanthin is also rated likely safe in pregnancy, though supplement safety while breastfeeding hasn't been well studied. Astaxanthin is different — safety data are not available, so the advice is to avoid it during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what's right for your situation.
What do these ingredients actually do in my eyes?
All four ingredients — bilberry, astaxanthin, lutein, and zeaxanthin — are antioxidants that naturally accumulate in the eye and retina. Lutein and zeaxanthin have the strongest evidence: they're possibly effective for age-related macular degeneration and lutein is possibly effective for cataracts. Bilberry and astaxanthin's benefits for the eye are less well established.
Will this help my night vision?
No, bilberry is actually rated possibly ineffective for night vision, so if that's your main reason for taking this product, the evidence doesn't support it. The other ingredients in this product don't have established effects on night vision either.
Are there any side effects I should expect?
Bilberry most commonly causes dark-colored stools, flatulence, and GI discomfort; your stool and tongue may turn dark blue or black. Astaxanthin can cause abdominal pain, diarrhea, or red-colored stools. Lutein and zeaxanthin are generally well tolerated with no reported side effects at typical doses. Overall, this product is generally well tolerated, though long-term safety data are limited.
Does lutein interact with any medications?
No interactions are documented in our data for lutein. However, the other ingredients in this product — bilberry, astaxanthin, and zeaxanthin — do have documented interactions, so you'll still want to check your full medication list before taking it.
What are the inactive ingredients?
The product contains microcrystalline cellulose (a filler), gelatin (capsule material), magnesium stearate, silica, and beadlets of astaxanthin and lutein. If you have allergies to any of these, check the label or talk with your pharmacist.
