Scientists have long known that the yellow colour, or pigment, inside the macula comes from three carotenoids: lutein, zeaxanthin and meso-zeaxanthin.  These plant compounds help protect the eye by absorbing blue light, which is present in regular sunlight, as well as offices (computer screens generate blue light).  They also neutralise free radicals, which damage the cells required for vision in the eye.  Free radicals come from smoking, pollution, poisons, fried foods and most importantly from blue light and oxygen metabolism.

The Macushield patented blend brings together all three of these carotenoids to help maintain eye health into our later years.
Meso-zeaxanthin is not found in a typical diet (although it is found in unusual foods, such as shrimps and oysters), but is uniquely important for macular health.  The body normally converts lutein to meso-zeaxanthin at the retina. Meso-zeaxanthin is only found at the centre of the macula, where vision is sharpest. Its presence results in the filtration of a wider range of damaging blue light and also acts as a powerful antioxidant at the macula.
Lutein and Zeaxanthin are found in green leafy vegetables such as spinach and kale, lutein and zeaxanthin are also antioxidants and are capable of filtering blue light.

New scientific research has found that supplementing with all three carotenoids, meso-zeaxanthin, lutein and zeaxanthin has resulted in the body taking up these vital compounds around the body, thus making it easier to get to parts of the eye where they are required.
Each softgel capsule contains: 10mg meso-zeaxanthin, 10mg lutein & 2mg zeaxanthin and this new formula, now in a sunflower oil softgel capsule, is designed to transport these important compounds around the body, thus making it easier to get to parts of the eye where they are required.
