iGenics Ingredients: All 12 Label Lines, Amounts and Roles

iGenics ingredients at a glance

The Supplement Facts panel names a serving as two capsules, with 30 servings in a 60-capsule bottle. Apart from those twelve lines, the sole extra is hypromellose, the vegetable shell around the powder. ScienceGenics calls the formula plant-based and vegan with no fillers, and says a GMP-certified US facility makes it from ingredients that an outside lab has tested. All of that is the seller’s wording.

What the seller is after is healthier vision and a balanced inflammatory response, with a top-up of key nutrients on the side. Ginkgo gets the lead-ingredient label, and the base is an AREDS2-inspired core.

Group one: the marigold pigments

Lutein, 20 mg. A golden plant pigment drawn from marigold flower. It is one of the AREDS2-type nutrients the seller builds around, and it carries the biggest dose of the two pigments.

Zeaxanthin, 10 mg. The partner pigment, from the same marigold source. The two usually travel together in eye-focused formulas, which is why they sit side by side here.

Group two: the vitamins

Vitamin C, 500 mg. A well-known antioxidant vitamin, supplied here as calcium ascorbate.

Vitamin E, 0.268 mg. A small amount of another antioxidant vitamin, in the form of d-alpha tocopheryl acetate.

Vitamin A, 900 mcg. A fat-soluble vitamin, supplied as retinyl palmitate. Vitamin A is one of the reasons we suggest a quick chat with your doctor before you start.

Group three: the minerals

Zinc, 20 mg. An essential mineral, in a chelated bisglycinate form that the label marks as TRAACS.

Copper, 2 mg. A trace mineral in the same chelated style. Pairing it with zinc is a familiar approach in AREDS2-type formulas.

Group four: the plant extracts

Bilberry extract, 480 mg. The biggest line on the label, a concentrated extract from a dark berry.

Turmeric extract 95%, 350 mg. A root extract standardized to 95%, the golden spice in concentrated form.

Black pepper extract, 20 mg. The label places it next to the turmeric, and the seller presents the two as a pair.

Saffron, 20 mg. A spice drawn from a flower, rounding out the plant side of the formula.

Ginkgo biloba leaf powder, 80 mg. The seller’s main ingredient, a leaf powder that anchors the blend.

Why the formula is built this way

ScienceGenics starts from a familiar idea: put eye-friendly nutrients into one daily capsule. The AREDS2-type lineup of lutein, zeaxanthin, vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc and copper forms the base, and the plant extracts extend it. The seller says the combination is meant to back healthier vision and a balanced inflammatory response. We relay that as an aim rather than a promise, since people respond differently.

We call the formula AREDS2-inspired and nothing more. Every amount here comes from the seller’s label, and we make no claim that it matches the amounts used in the original study.

What we like about the label

• Every ingredient has an amount. There is no hiding behind a blend name.
• A short list of other ingredients. Just the hypromellose capsule.
• A balanced mix. Pigments, vitamins, minerals and plant extracts, all in two capsules.
• A readable serving. Two a day, with 30 servings per bottle.

Taking the capsules

Two capsules a day is the serving. One bottle lasts a month, three bottles last a season and six bottles last half a year, the same span as the refund window. Pick a regular moment, perhaps with a meal, so the habit is easy to remember. Our iGenics reviews show how the routine fits into an ordinary day.

Reading the units on the label

The label mixes two units, which can look confusing at first. Milligrams (mg) measure most of the lines, from 0.268 mg of vitamin E up to 480 mg of bilberry extract. Vitamin A is the exception: it is listed in micrograms (mcg), at 900 mcg. A microgram is a thousandth of a milligram, so the vitamin A line is a small weight on paper, as vitamins often are. Keep the unit in mind when you compare iGenics with another product, because a mg number and an mcg number are not directly comparable at a glance.

Questions people ask about the formula

Is there anything artificial in it? The label lists the twelve lines above and the hypromellose capsule, and nothing else. The seller describes the ingredients as natural.

Why is the vitamin E amount so small? It is simply what the label prints: 0.268 mg per serving. We report the number and leave the formulation choices to the seller.

Is it suitable for vegans? The seller describes the formula as plant-based and vegan, with a vegetable capsule. That is the seller’s description, so if you follow a strict diet, ask the seller’s support team for specifics.

A calm word on safety

Several ingredients here deserve a quick conversation with your doctor. The formula includes vitamin A, zinc, ginkgo and turmeric. People on blood thinners or other prescription medicine, and anyone who is pregnant or nursing, should ask first. Keep taking the medicines you were prescribed, and if your vision changes, see an eye doctor and keep using any prescribed drops or treatment. Our iGenics side effects guide and the ingredients page go into more detail, and the iGenics page gives the overview.

How the pieces fit together

Read the label from top to bottom and a pattern appears. The marigold pigments sit at the heart of the idea, the vitamins and minerals round out the nutrient side, and the plant extracts bring a broader, food-style character. None of the parts is exotic. Most will be familiar from the supplement aisle or the spice rack, and that familiarity is part of the appeal: you can recognize what you are taking.

It also means you can judge the formula on its merits. If you already take a multivitamin or other supplements, compare the amounts of vitamin A, vitamin C, zinc and copper with what you take now, and show your doctor the full list. That conversation takes five minutes and keeps your routine tidy.

A word on the e-books

The three-bottle and six-bottle packages come with two e-books that complement the capsules. One lays out eight eye exercises, and the other lists seven foods for eye health. Neither is an ingredient, of course, but they give you ideas for the days when you want to do something extra for your eyes beyond taking the capsules.
