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. 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. Features

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. 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 m eso-zeaxanthin. Are there dietary sources of macular carotenoids? 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. Macular Pigment – The dietary carotenoids lutein, zeaxanthin and meso-zeaxanthin accumulate at the macula where they are collectively known as macular pigment.Food Supplements are intended to supplement the diet and should not be substituted for a varied diet or healthy lifestyle.
