MacuShield Gold provides a MacuShield® Original formulation with additional vitamins and minerals. Scientific research shows that the three nutrients; meso-zeaxanthin, lutein and zeaxanthin are found at the back of the eye, at the macula, where they form the macular pigment (yellow colour). Meso-zeaxanthin is particularly concentrated at the centre of this pigment. Lutein and zeaxanthin can be found in fruits and vegetables and meso-zeaxanthin is present in some species of fish and seafood. The macular carotenoids in MacuShield® Gold are obtained from marigolds (Tagetes Erecta), specifically grown for this purpose. MacuShield® Gold combines these three macular carotenoids in a formula containing meso-zeaxanthin, zinc to help maintain normal vision, copper, vitamin C and vitamin E, which contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. Benefits: Maintains healthy vision. Combines zinc, copper and vitamins to provide nourishment to eyes. Designed to enrich the macular pigment to reduce the risk of AMD. MacuShield Gold prevents damage to cells in the eye and can even reduce the risk of Age-related Macular Degeneration, by providing nourishment to the macular pigment. Your eyes can be harmed by many things, such as smoking, light exposure, pollution, obesity and aging. However, MacuShield Gold contains antioxidants that offer protection to the sensitive areas at the back of your eyes. This maintains healthy and clear vision. Although the antioxidants found in these capsules can also be found in a healthy diet, the recommended dose would be difficult to maintain by diet alone.
