Macushield Supplements are a meso-zeaxanthin, lutein and zeaxanthin food supplement, developed in collaboration with leading international eye health experts. These once-a-day easy to swallow capsules combine all three macular carotenoids in a unique formula containing meso-zeaxanthin. Scientific research has shown that the three nutrients contained in Macushield Supplements are found at the back of the eye, at the macula, the specialised part of the eye that is responsible for detailed, central vision. A macular pigment is formed around the eye, with Meso-zeaxanthin being particularly concentrated at the centre. Macushield Eye Supplement nutrients can be found in the fruit and veg we eat every day. For example, 1 Bowl of fresh spinach contains approx. 10mg of Lutein and Zeaxanthin. 1 portion of peas contains approx. 2mg of Lutein and Zeaxanthin. 1 Orange contains approx. 70mg of Vitamin C. 1 Kiwi contains approx. 84mg of Vitamin C.
