Lutein and zeaxanthin are carotenoids found in high concentrations in the macula of the eye. These compounds act as antioxidants, helping to neutralize free radicals and support eye health†. Lutein and zeaxanthin are naturally found in dark leafy greens such as kale, collard greens, turnip greens and spinach, as well as corn and egg yolks. Research suggests these carotenoids help support visual function and healthy macular pigment density as people age†. Lutein has also been studied for its role in supporting skin health†.

Lycopene is a carotenoid found primarily in tomatoes, red grapefruit, apricots and watermelon. It gives them their red color. Several studies with reported food intake have found that men who eat more tomatoes and tomato products have a lower risk of prostate cancer.

To maintain cardiovascular health, we recommend that adults take a Cooper Complete multivitamin as well as Cooper Complete Advanced Omega-3 fatty acids (fish oil). In addition, women may also need calcium. Individuals on statin medications may need to take additional coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10). Our original multivitamin formulations contain 50 mg CoQ10, but physicians recommend 100 mg per day, or more, for individuals on statin medications.
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), also known as ubiquinone, is found in virtually every cell in the body. It plays an important role in cellular energy production and functions as an antioxidant to help neutralize free radicals†. Natural CoQ10 levels may decline with age, and some research suggests that levels may also be lower in individuals taking cholesterol-lowering statin medications. Researchers continue to study CoQ10 for its role in supporting cardiovascular health, cellular energy production and healthy aging†.
No. For most adults, taking a Cooper Complete multivitamin along with low-dose or regular-strength aspirin is not expected to present a concern.

Sometimes you will see a product that has a sticker with a warning as required by California Prop65. These rules pertain to products that contain one, of over 800 chemicals designated by the state of California as potentially causing cancer or birth defects. These requirements are very stringent and do not correlate with the limits of other regulatory agencies, including the FDA and WHO. The presence of a Prop 65 warning does not mean that the product is harmful. Prop 65 is meant to inform California residents of potential exposure to Prop 65 listed chemicals. Products with these chemicals are not banned. Many of the chemicals listed are naturally occurring through the environment, air, soil, and water.
When appropriate, we label items sold to customers in California with Prop 65 warnings to ensure compliance with Prop 65.
