What Causes Constipation While On Areds 2?

Hi, I am taking Areds 2 but find if I take 2 a day I become constipated and I am never constipated. I have tried taking only 1 a day for several weeks and no problem/ As soon as I introduce the second one one a day I am constipated. Is this common?

Hello Dear
I evaluated your concern in depth .
@ It is usually not common side effect to have constipation , but individual
case may notice it
@ Recommendations for you :
# temporarily stop Areds 2 , wait for 2 days if constipation relieved fine
can take help of green leafy vegetables, whole grains, high fiber content,
plenty of fluids , organic fruits to tackle constipation more better manner
# once constipation is over , start Areds and if then constipation re
appear that confirms your gut sensitivity to it
Hope this will definitely help you .
