Abstract
The present invention relates to formulations adapted from the original AREDS formula that are suitable for introduction into a measured amount or volume of a food as well as to foods containing these formulations. These fortified foods are expected to provide patients afflicted with or at risk for developing macular degeneration or other age-related deficiencies with alternative and more palatable sources of the ingredients of the original AREDS formula than those currently available in the market.
