MacuGuard

Vital cartenoids for healthy vision

The density of the macular pigment is vital to healthy vision. However, the density of macular pigment naturally declines with age, and some people lose the ability to synthesize meso-zeaxanthin from lutein over time.

That's why MacuGuard® Ocular Support with Saffron contains lutein and trans-zeaxanthin and meso-zeaxanthin, as well as alpha-carotene, another eye health carotenoid that has been associated with protection of the macula and retina.

Lutein and the two types of zeaxanthin are very well-known to help preserve the health of the macula and act as defenders against excessive oxidative stress. 

They help keep eyes functioning well, even over time, including night vision. Evidence also suggests that alpha-carotene helps support the macular pigment.

Phospholipids for carotenoids: optimal absorption

Getting these eye-healthy nutrients where you need them most is a huge part of supporting your vision health. This formula contains phospholipids, which are an important part of every cell membrane in the body. 

These phospholipids can help promote absorption and accumulation of lutein and zeaxanthin. Good absorption is crucial for these nutrients to make it into the retina of the eye.

Vision-enhancing benefits of saffron

Multiple studies have shown that individuals with age-related vision concerns, experienced improved visual acuity supplementing with saffron. 

This was measured both by advanced technical testing and on the Snellen eye chart that is commonly used by doctors to test vision.
