Derived from the botanical extracts of the marigold flower, MacuShields’ breakthrough formula has been scientifically proven to protect your eyes from the onset of sight-threatening conditions such as macular degeneration.
The MacuShield+ formula, backed by the world’s leading eye care experts, takes three naturally found carotenoids; lutein, zeaxanthin and meso-zeaxanthin and puts them into one easy-to-take food capsule.
These three nutrients play the essential role of protecting the macula from free radicals and improving our sensitivity to blue light. By strengthening the macula, MacuShield+ slows down the progression of age-related macular degeneration.
Simply take just one capsule per day. Best used before or after a meal.
MacuShields’ core ingredients include carotenoids:
Other ingredients include:
Carotenoids – Carotenoids are naturally occurring plant pigments found in nature. Over 700 carotenoids have been identified to date, which include the carotenoids lutein, zeaxanthin and meso-zeaxanthin.
Lutein – A natural carotenoid entirely of dietary origin, which accumulates at the macula at the back of the eye. Lutein is most commonly found in dark green, leafy vegetables such as spinach, kale or peas.
Macula – It is the central and most sensitive part of the retina. The carotenoids luten, zeaxanthin and meso-zeaxanthin can be found at the macula.
Macular Pigment – The dietary carotenoids lutein, zeaxanthin and meso-zeaxanthin accumulate at the macula where they are collectively known as macular pigment.
Meso-zeaxanthin – Meso-zeaxanthin is the most central carotenoid found at the epicentre of the macula. Meso-zeaxanthin is naturally occurring in the human food chain, found in several species of fish to date.
Oxidative Stress – Oxidative stress refers to damage by reactive, unstable molecules. These molecules, which include free radicals, are produced naturally in the body through oxygen metabolism.
Retina – The retina is the light-sensitive layer of tissue at the back of the inner eye. It acts like the film in a camera; images come through the eye’s lens and are focused on the retina. The retina then converts these images to electric signals and sends them via the optic nerve to the brain.
Zeaxanthin – A natural carotenoid entirely of dietary origin, which accumulates at the macula at the back of the eye. Zeaxanthin is commonly found in brightly coloured fruits and vegetables such as peppers and sweetcorn.

Yes, MacuShield+® and MacuShield® Gold do not contain any sucrose (sugar) and may be taken by diabetics.
The three carotenoids in all MacuShield® products are a derivative of the marigold flower Tagetes erecta, sourced and grown specifically for the production of lutein, zeaxanthin and meso-zeaxanthin.
The macular pigment develops solely from our diet. An average Western diet contains approximately 1.3-3mg of these carotenoids each day. The best natural food sources of lutein and zeaxanthin are dark green leafy vegetables and other brightly coloured fruits and vegetables.
MacuShield® products are nutritional supplements and should not replace a balanced diet.
Yes, you can take MacuShield+® if you are a smoker / ex-smoker as it does not contain beta-carotene.
MacuShield+® and MacuShield® Gold both contain the three macular carotenoids. However, the MacuShield® Gold capsules also contain a blend of high-dose Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Zinc and Copper. We also offer a MacuShield® Original Chewable which provides a MacuShield® Original Formula with added vitamin B2.
Meso-zeaxanthin is one of the three macular carotenoids. It is particularly concentrated at the centre of the macular pigment.
