• Helps protect against dry macular degeneration
• Once a day, easy to take eye supplement
• Strengthens the retina’s own Macular Pigments to protect against damage from blue (short-wavelength) light. Blue light is known to be one of the major causes of damage to retinal cells. Blue light is unavoidable – it comes from modern low-energyand  light bulbs, mobile phones, tablets, laptops
• Vitamin B2 is scientifically proven to help maintain normal vision.

What is Macular Pigment ?

• Macular Pigment is a yellow pigment in the macula region of the retina
• The pigment filters harmful blue light, which can contribute to Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)
• The pigment enhances visual performance and makes vision sharper
• The pigment is an antioxidant which prevents free-radical damage. Free-radical damage is also strongly believed to contribute to AMD.

What is the role of Macular Pigments in Preventing Macular Degeneration? 

• Light is filtered by Macular Pigments before being passed to the more sensitive retinal layers below it.
• The sensitive retinal layers are damaged by, among other things, blue light.
• Damage to the sensitive lower layers contributes to both Wet and Dry macular degeneration
• If Macular Pigment levels are reduced, less light is filtered, and more is let through to cause potential damage
• Boosting Macular Pigment levels can help protect against age-related macular degeneration.

How do I Boost Macular Pigment Levels ?

• Meso-Zeaxanthin, Lutein and Zeaxanthin are the building blocks of Macular Pigment.
• Lutein and zeaxanthin cannot be made in the body and have to come solely from the foods we eat.
• Meso-zeaxanthin is made in the retina from lutein; however, it is thought that some people are unable to do this
• Lutein and zeaxanthin are found in leafy green vegetables and fruits. Eating these foods is beneficial; however, even in those with good diets, it is difficult to get the necessary level of nutrients the eyes need.
• That’s why regular supplementation is recommended for optimum eye health.

About MacuShield: 

• MacuShield is the ONLY supplement that contains Meso-Zeaxanthin. It also contains Lutein and Zeaxanthin.
• A recent study from the US showed that the antioxidant properties of macular pigment is enhanced when meso-zeaxanthin is present.
