How we reviewed it
We did not run a trial on people and we do not publish star ratings or testimonials. This review is based on what can be checked before you buy: the ingredients the maker names, the prices and packages on the checkout, the guarantee terms and how the order is processed.
What iGenics® is
A dietary supplement in vegetable capsules from ScienceGenics, sold online through the Digistore24 checkout. One bottle is a 30-day supply. The maker positions it as daily nutritional support for the eyes as you age – not as a treatment.
The formula
The maker names bilberry (the main ingredient), saffron, ginkgo biloba and the six AREDS-2 nutrients: lutein, zeaxanthin, vitamins C and E, zinc and copper. According to the maker the capsules are vegan, non-GMO and free of fillers, and every batch is third-party tested.
Only saffron has a published amount on the sales page (20 mg per serving). For every other ingredient you need the Supplement Facts panel on the bottle. That matters because the AREDS-2 research tested specific amounts – a formula that contains the same nutrients is not automatically the same thing.
Price
One bottle costs $59 plus $9.99 shipping. Three bottles are $147 ($49 each) and six bottles are $234 ($39 each), both with free shipping and bonus e-books. It is a one-time payment, with no subscription.
Pros and cons
- Pro: bilberry, saffron and ginkgo together with the AREDS-2 nutrient group in one daily capsule
- Pro: 180-day money-back guarantee, longer than most supplements
- Pro: vegan capsule, one-time payment, no subscription
- Con: doses not published on the sales page, except saffron
- Con: the maker's page shows a rating and review count we could not verify, so we do not repeat it
- Con: the best price requires buying six bottles up front
Who might consider it – and who should not
It suits adults who want a single daily supplement with the AREDS-2 nutrients and botanicals, and who are comfortable checking the label for amounts. If you take blood thinners, have a scheduled surgery, are pregnant or nursing, or have been diagnosed with an eye disease, talk to your doctor or eye doctor first. A supplement does not replace eye exams or prescribed treatment.
Verdict
A reasonable formula backed by an unusually long guarantee. Before buying, decide whether you are comfortable not knowing most doses in advance; if you are, the 3- or 6-bottle package gives the lowest price per bottle, and the 180 days give you time to judge it yourself.
