MacuShield (90 capsules)

MacuShield helps keep your eyes healthy and vital

MacuShield, a derivative of marigolds, is a unique carotenoid eye supplement tested at leading research institutions & endorsed by eye care professionals
There is an important and naturally occurring pigment at the back of the eye, known as macular pigment. This pigment is made up of 3 dietary compounds, known as lutein, zeaxanthin and meso-zeaxanthin.

Macular pigment is yellow in colour and therefore absorbs damaging blue light.

Protecting your eyes into old age

Macushield's patented blend brings together all three of these carotenoids (meso-zeaxanthin, lutein & zeaxanthin) to help maintain eye health throughout our later years

Lutein and zeaxanthin are dietary carotenoids that filter damaging high-energy blue wavelength light from the visible-light spectrum by as much as 90%. Lutein and zeaxanthin are antioxidants and therefore protect against the damage caused by free radicals.

Meso-zeaxanthin is the 3rd component of the macular pigment and is only found at the centre where vision is sharpest. Meso-zeaxanthin is obtained by the conversion of lutein to meso-zeaxanthin in the macula. It is not found in a typical diet but is found in shrimps and certain fish types like halibut, salmon and sea bass.

Meso-zeaxanthin is being recognised as a more powerful neutralizer of free radicals than either lutein or zeaxanthin.
