Sandy - here is the reply I received from Novartis in Canada regarding
their Vitalux ingredients  This might be useful in finding an
alternative product if the Vitalux is not available:

Dear Theta,

Here is the ingredients in the Vitalux Areds

Beta-Carotene =12500iu
Vitamins C         =250mg
Vitamins E         =200iu
Zinc                      =40mg
Copper                =1mg
Lutein                   =3mg

and as for the Vitalux-S the formulary is identical except for their is
no beta-Carotene.

Hope this help

Sincerely,
Linda David
