Macushield 30s

MacuShield Original (30 pack) is the no.1 recommended supplement by eye experts. MacuShield Original is a lutein (10mg), zeaxanthin (2mg) and meso-zeaxanthin (10mg) one-a-day, easy to take, food supplement which combines all three macular carotenoids in a formula developed in collaboration with leading eye experts. Scientific research shows that these three nutrients are found at the back of the eye, at the macula, where they form the macular pigment (yellow colour). Meso-zeaxanthin is particularly concentrated at the centre of this pigment. The macula is a specialized part of the eye that is responsible for our detailed, central vision. Lutein and Zeaxanthin can be found in fruits and vegetables and Meso-Zeaxanthin is present in some species of fish and seafood. The macular pigments in Macushield are obtained from marigolds (Tagetus Erecta), specially grown for this purpose.

The macular pigment develops solely from our diet. An average western diet contains approximately 1.3-3mg of these carotenoids each day. Good natural food sources of lutein and zeaxanthin are dark green leafy vegetables and other brightly coloured fruits and vegetables.

MacuShield products are nutritional supplements and should not replace a balanced diet

Lutein

A natural carotenoid entirely of dietary origin, which accumulates at the macula at the back of the eye. Lutein is most commonly found in dark green, leafy vegetables such as spinach, kale or peas.

Meso-zeaxanthin

The most central carotenoid found at the epicentre of the macula. Meso-zeaxanthin is naturally occurring in the human food chain, found in several species of fish to date.

Zeaxanthin

A natural carotenoid entirely of dietary origin, which accumulates at the macula at the back of the eye. Zeaxanthin is commonly found in brightly coloured fruit and vegetables such as peppers and sweetcorn.
