iGenics Ingredients: All 12 Label Lines and Their Amounts Explained

You can judge a formula far better once every line of it is in front of you, so here are the iGenics ingredients exactly as the label prints them: twelve lines for a serving of two capsules, then the capsule shell. We describe each line neutrally and give its amount. Any promise stays with the seller, whose stated aim is healthier vision support and a healthy inflammatory response.

The Whole Label in One Table

Label line	Amount in a serving of 2 capsules
Bilberry fruit extract	480 mg
Turmeric root extract (95%)	350 mg
Ginkgo biloba leaf powder	80 mg
Black pepper fruit extract	20 mg
Lutein from marigold flower	20 mg
Zeaxanthin from marigold flower	10 mg
Saffron flower	20 mg
Calcium ascorbate (vitamin C)	500 mg
Retinyl palmitate (vitamin A)	900 mcg
d-alpha tocopheryl acetate (vitamin E)	0.268 mg
Zinc bisglycinate chelate, TRAACS	20 mg
Copper bisglycinate chelate, TRAACS	2 mg

Under other ingredients the label names hypromellose, the vegetable capsule. With 60 capsules in a bottle and two taken daily, one bottle lasts a month.

The Vitamins and Minerals

Vitamin A is supplied as retinyl palmitate, a fat-soluble form, in a 900 mcg amount. Vitamin C comes as calcium ascorbate, which is ascorbic acid bound to a mineral, in a 500 mg amount. Vitamin E is d-alpha tocopheryl acetate, and the label amount is a very small 0.268 mg.

The two minerals are written alike. Zinc (20 mg) and copper (2 mg) are both bisglycinate chelates under the TRAACS name, and in a chelate the mineral is attached to an amino acid, here glycine. Mineral labels often list the pair together.

The Plant Extracts

• Bilberry, 480 mg of fruit extract. A dark berry in the blueberry family, and the heaviest plant line on the label.
• Turmeric, 350 mg of root extract. The 95% marks how concentrated the extract is. Turmeric is a root best known as a kitchen spice.
• Ginkgo biloba, 80 mg of leaf powder. Ginkgo is the leaf of a long-cultivated tree, and the seller names it the formula’s main ingredient.
• Black pepper, 20 mg of fruit extract. A small line that sits beside turmeric.

iGenics Ingredients From Flowers: Lutein, Saffron and Zeaxanthin

Three lines have a flower origin. Lutein (20 mg) and zeaxanthin (10 mg) are carotenoids taken from marigold flowers, and they usually appear as a pair because they are close relatives. Saffron (20 mg) is the flower whose dried stigmas make the spice of that name.

What “AREDS2-Inspired” Means Here

Lutein, zeaxanthin, vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc and copper are sometimes grouped under the label AREDS2-inspired. The phrase points to the nutrient families in a large, well-known eye research formula. It is a description of the ingredient list, not a statement about amounts. iGenics does not claim to match the amounts in that research, and neither do we. Use the label above as the full and only reference for what is in each serving.

What the Seller Says About Making It

What follows is the seller’s account, which we relay as claims and not as findings of ours. According to the seller, iGenics is plant-based with natural, vegan ingredients and zero fillers, produced in a US facility with GMP certification, and its ingredients are tested by third parties. A hypromellose shell, made from plant fiber, is consistent with the plant-based description.

How the Twelve Lines Fit Together

Step back and the label sorts into three bands. Vitamins and minerals take five lines, since A, C, E, zinc and copper fill them. Plant extracts take four, with ginkgo, the seller’s headline ingredient, among them. Flower-derived lutein, zeaxanthin and saffron make the last three. Seeing that structure lets you set iGenics against another product line by line instead of by slogan.

Some practical points when you compare:

1. Match the form, not only the name, because calcium ascorbate and retinyl palmitate differ from other forms of the same vitamins.
2. Match the amount per serving, and check what a serving is. Here it is two capsules.
3. Check the extract strength where one is given, as with the 95% turmeric.
4. Count the days. Sixty capsules at two a day gives 30 days.

Reading Amounts the Easy Way

Labels list amounts in micrograms and milligrams, and the two are easy to mix up. A microgram is one thousandth of a milligram, so the 900 mcg of vitamin A is a smaller weight than the 20 mg of lutein even though 900 looks bigger on paper. When you compare iGenics with another label, convert everything to the same unit first and compare serving sizes at the same time, because a serving here is two capsules while other products may define a serving differently.

You will also notice that the amounts differ a lot between lines. Bilberry at 480 mg and turmeric at 350 mg make up most of the weight, while vitamin E at 0.268 mg is tiny. That spread is normal on a multi-ingredient label, since each ingredient has its own typical range. The numbers tell you what is in the capsule and nothing more, so keep them as a reference rather than a score.

If you take notes for a doctor or pharmacist, copy the table above. Having the exact forms, such as retinyl palmitate and calcium ascorbate, makes a conversation faster. The iGenics overview page links everything together in one place.
