OptiCore Pro Ingredients List: 5 Steps To Read The Label
The OptiCore Pro label looks long, but you can read it in five steps. Follow them in order and you will know what is in the capsule and what is not.
One OptiCore Pro capsule carries 16 nutrients with printed amounts and a 179.5 mg blend of 11 botanicals. Biotin at 2,500 mcg is the biggest figure. The blend split is not published. Lutein, zeaxanthin, copper and omega-3 are not on the label. Soy is declared. Follow the five steps below.

- Serving size is 1 capsule. There are 30 servings in a bottle.
- Sixteen rows give an amount and a percent Daily Value. The 17th row is a 179.5 mg proprietary blend.
- Biotin 2,500 mcg is 8,333.5% of the Daily Value, the largest figure on the panel.
- The blend covers 11 botanicals and prints no amount for any single one.
- Not on the label: lutein, zeaxanthin, copper and omega-3.
- The allergen line reads Contains: Soy. The shell is hypromellose, a vegetable capsule.
Step 1: What is the serving size and how many servings are in a bottle?
Start where every Supplement Facts panel starts. Serving size is one capsule. Servings per container is thirty. Every amount below is per single capsule, not per two.
That makes one bottle a month at the label dose, and it makes the pack sizes easy to read: two bottles is 60 capsules, three is 90 and six is 180.
Step 2: What are the 16 rows with printed amounts?
Here is the panel as the bottle prints it. The percent Daily Value is shown exactly as the label gives it.
| Row | Amount per capsule | % Daily Value |
|---|---|---|
| Vitamin A (as beta-carotene) | 60 mcg RAE | 6.5% |
| Vitamin C (as ascorbic acid) | 60 mg | 66.5% |
| Vitamin D (as cholecalciferol) | 10 mcg | 50% |
| Vitamin E (as DL-alpha tocopheryl acetate) | 7 mg | 46.5% |
| Thiamin (as thiamin mononitrate) | 3 mg | 250% |
| Vitamin B6 (as pyridoxine HCl) | 4 mg | 235.5% |
| Folate (440 mcg folic acid) | 748 mcg DFE | 187% |
| Vitamin B12 (as cyanocobalamin) | 6 mcg | 250% |
| Biotin | 2,500 mcg | 8,333.5% |
| Pantothenic acid (as D-calcium pantothenate) | 15 mg | 300% |
| Calcium (as calcium carbonate) | 40 mg | 3% |
| Iron (as ferrous fumarate) | 7.25 mg | 40.5% |
| Magnesium (as magnesium oxide) | 60 mg | 14.5% |
| Zinc (as zinc oxide) | 3.62 mg | 33% |
| Manganese (as manganese amino acid chelate) | 2 mg | 87% |
| Potassium (as potassium gluconate) | 47 mg | 1% |
| Proprietary blend | 179.5 mg | No Daily Value set |
Six rows sit above 100% of their Daily Value: thiamin, vitamin B6, folate, vitamin B12, pantothenic acid and biotin. Manganese, at 87%, comes closest among the others. That matters if you take another multivitamin or a B-complex, because the totals add up.
Step 3: Which ingredient has the biggest number, and why does it matter?
Biotin. At 2,500 mcg it is 8,333.5% of its Daily Value. This website has a separate article on biotin and your blood test, and the figure is the amount hair and nail capsules use. No vision trial of biotin at any dose is named in the sources we use.
There is also a practical point. Biotin at this amount can interfere with common blood tests that use an immunoassay, including thyroid panels and troponin. This does not mean biotin is harmful here. It means the laboratory should know. Say it in one sentence: I take a supplement with 2,500 mcg of biotin.
Step 4: What is in the 179.5 mg proprietary blend?
Eleven botanicals share one total weight. The label lists them in the order below and prints no amount for any single one.
- P-amino benzoic acid (PABA)
- Horsetail extract
- Fo-Ti
- Bamboo extract
- Stinging nettle
- Chinese peony
- Spirulina
- Saw palmetto
- Plant sterols from soy bean
- Alfalfa
- Barley grass
The order tells you PABA is the heaviest and barley grass the lightest. Beyond that the split is not published, so nobody outside the factory can set any of the eleven against a trial dose. For scale: the trials of nettle root used 450 mg and the saw palmetto comparison used 320 mg, and each of those amounts is larger than the whole blend.
Two of the eleven have published liver-injury reports, Fo-Ti and PABA. Because the dose present is unknown, anyone with liver disease, or taking a medicine that is hard on the liver, should ask a doctor first.
Step 5: What does the small print say?
| Line on the bottle | What it reads |
|---|---|
| Other ingredients | Rice flour, hypromellose (vegetable capsule), magnesium stearate (vegetable), silicon dioxide |
| Allergen | Contains: Soy |
| Suggested use | Take one capsule daily with an 8 oz. glass of water. For best results, take 20-30 minutes before a meal, or as directed by your healthcare professional |
| Storage | Store in a cool, dry place away from heat and light |
| Caution | Pregnant or nursing mothers, children under 18 and anyone with a known medical condition should consult a physician. Keep out of reach of children. Do not use if the safety seal is damaged or missing |
| Origin | Manufactured in the USA with globally sourced ingredients |
Soy reaches the capsule twice: once in the allergen line and once as plant sterols from soy bean in the blend. Anyone with a soy allergy should treat the product as unsuitable.
What is not in the OptiCore Pro ingredients list?
People often come looking for the ingredients of the AREDS2 formula. Those are lutein 10 mg, zeaxanthin 2 mg and copper 2 mg, alongside vitamin C 500 mg, vitamin E 400 IU and zinc. This label has no lutein, no zeaxanthin, no copper and no omega-3. It has vitamin C 60 mg, vitamin E 7 mg and zinc 3.62 mg.
So it is not an AREDS-type eye formula, and nobody should describe it as one. It is a broad multivitamin with a botanical blend, sold for everyday vision wellness and eye comfort. The bottle itself makes no claim at all. OptiCore Pro is a dietary supplement. It is not a drug, it is not approved by the FDA, and no supplement is.

Frequently asked questions
What are the main ingredients in OptiCore Pro?
Sixteen nutrients with printed amounts, led by biotin at 2,500 mcg and vitamin C at 60 mg, plus a 179.5 mg blend of eleven botanicals that starts with PABA and ends with barley grass.
Is there lutein or zeaxanthin in OptiCore Pro?
No. Neither is on the label. They are the two carotenoids added in the AREDS2 formula, which is a different product.
How much of each herb sits in the OptiCore Pro blend?
Not published. One total of 179.5 mg covers all eleven, and the label lists them from heaviest to lightest without amounts.
Does OptiCore Pro contain soy?
Yes, twice. The allergen line reads Contains: Soy, and the blend includes plant sterols from soy bean. Anyone with a soy allergy should not take it.
Is the OptiCore Pro capsule vegetarian?
The shell is hypromellose, a plant cellulose, not gelatin. The panel names nothing animal-derived. The soy line is the bigger limit for most people.
Is there caffeine in OptiCore Pro?
No stimulant is listed on the label, and nothing in the blend is named as a caffeine source.
Our view
The label is clear about what it contains and honest in what it leaves out. Sixteen amounts are printed and they check out against the reference values. The blend is the part you cannot read, and it is a sixth of a gram shared eleven ways.
If you want the AREDS2 ingredients, this is not that product. If you want one capsule that covers a share of many daily vitamins and minerals, this is what it is. Read the biotin line and the soy line twice, and that is most of the decision.
Decide on the terms, not on the hope
If the label and the terms suit you, the official page has the checkout, the shipping line and the guarantee wording.
