Welcome to MacuShield® and MacuShield®Gold

MacuShield® is a meso-zeaxanthin, zeaxanthin and lutein food supplement, derived from marigolds and has been tested at leading research institutes, and endorsed by eye care professionals.

Scientists have long known that the yellow colour, or pigment, at the macula come from the carotenoids, lutein, zeaxanthin, and meso-zeaxanthin. These plant compounds which are antioxidants neutralise free radicals originating from smoking, pollution, fried foods and most importantly blue light and oxidative stress. Furthermore, they help protect the eye by absorbing damaging blue light, which is present in sunlight, car headlights and television screens, amongst other sources. As blue light is part of normal vision, and oxygen use is required for life, free radical damage is the cost of living, and is therefore unavoidable.

Macushield Gold is supplied with a two a day supply of Gold Capsules that contain Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Zinc and Copper these are specifically formulated to provide;

• Vitamin C and Vitamin E

  These Vitamins, which are also antioxidants, are widely used in supplements to support eye health. Antioxidants protect the cells of the macula, which are particularly vulnerable to oxidative damage.

• Zinc

  Zinc contributes to protecting cells from free radicals, which can cause oxidative damage. Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal vision.

• Copper

  Copper is included to maintain healthy levels of this essential mineral.
