long expiry date NEW
Containing lutein, zeaxanthin and mesozeaxanthin for macular health, Macushield is a food supplement to protect and support eye health.
Macushield is made up of 3 dietary compounds; lutein, zeaxanthin and meso-zeaxanthin, collectively known as the macular pigments. Macular pigment is yellow in colour and therefore absorbs damaging blue light.
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. Meso-zeaxanthin is being recognised as a more powerful neutraliser of free radicals than either lutein or zeaxanthin.
Supplementation with meso-zeaxanthin will ensure that this component of macular pigment accumulates at the target tissue (i.e. the central macula) in a way that is not dependent on an enzyme to convert lutein to meso-zeaxanthin. Indeed, such an enzyme may be lacking in some individuals.

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.
Lutein and zeaxanthin can be found in fruits and dark green leafy vegetables and meso-zeaxanthin is present in some species of fish and seafood. The macular carotenoids in MacuShield® Original are obtained from marigolds (Tagetes Erecta), specifically grown for this purpose.
