Comment:
It was recommended for macular degeneration. Brand was Source Naturals 2mg. During a 30 day period of use, I began to develop severe nerve pain in my feet that interfered with sleep. I tried alternate days of smaller doses, but pain increased. Pain stopped completely when I discontinued use.
