Our mission · By eye specialists

Built for
the long view.

Pristene builds the eye-health formulas its founding doctors recommend to their own patients — dosed to the science, transparent to the last milligram.

Nº I · Our story

Built by doctors.

Pristene started in a physician's exam room — not a marketing meeting. Our team believed patients could get better dietary supplementation, built on hard science.

So they created the products they'd take themselves — dosed to the AREDS2® levels that actually move the needle — because our patients and customers deserve nothing less.

What we stand for

Four tenets. Every batch.

i

Doctor formulated

Built in clinical practice by an MD, not a marketing brief.

ii

Clinically dosed

25 mg pure lutein — 2.5× more than most brands, undiluted.

iii

Verified every batch

cGMP-certified and third-party tested to the milligram.

iv

Made in the USA

A promise and commitment to patient satisfaction.

The promise

The formula we recommend to our own patients — now yours to take every day.
