Scientists have long known that the Yellow colour, or pigment, inside the Macularcomes from Three cartenoids, Lutein, Zeaxanthin and Meso-Zeaxanthin. These plant compounds help protect the eye by absorbing Blue light which is present in regular sunlightas well as in offices (computer screens generate Blue light). They also neutralise free radicals which damage the cells of the eye. Free radicals come from Smoking, Pollution, Poisons, Fried Foods and as a by product of Oxygen metabolism. Because the Macular is Yellow in colour it aborbs damaging Blue light that enters the eye and so acts as a natural filter. The MacuShield patented blend brings together all Three of these cartenoids to help maintain eye health throughout our later years.
At Complete Eyecare we continue to recommend MacuShield as one of the steps to help to try and reduce the affects of Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) – one of the leading causes of blindness.
It still contains the key nutrient Meso-Zeaxanthin which helps to replenish a pigment linked to AMD. The benefits of the new Softgel MacuShield formulation:
It is a Sunflower oil based capsule – now you do not need to take it with food and it allows the active ingredients to target the macula area even more effectively. It is still the only supplement available with all three of the antioxidants needed to keep your macula healthy.
Unlike other dietary supplements MacuShield only contains Meso-Zeaxanthin , Lutein and Zeaxanthin.These powerful antioxidants help protect the tissues of the eyes from damaging blue light and free radicals. So because it does not contain any vitamins or minerals there are no unwanted interactions with other medications you may be taking or with other medical conditions you may have.
It contains no animal products making MacuShield suitable for everyone including vegetarians. Ladies who are pregnant or breast feeding should consult their doctor before using MacuShield.
