Your eyes need the right nutrients, just like the rest of you. To get them, try our most comprehensive MacuGuard® formula!

MacuGuard® Ocular Support with Saffron & Astaxanthin Benefits

• Contains lutein, meso-zeaxanthin and zeaxanthin to help protect eyes from blue and ultraviolet rays
• Helps fight back against general eye fatigue and oxidative stress
• Supports visual acuity (sharp vision)

Macular Carotenoids: Eye-friendly Nutrients

Carotenoids are a class of phytonutrients. There are more than 600 carotenoids found in nature, but let’s focus on lutein and zeaxanthin. Why? Because these are the so-called macular carotenoids: they’re found in abundance in your eyes. Specifically, the protective dot of pigment at the back of your eye called the macula. Your macula protects the eye’s delicate photoreceptor cells from excess light and oxidative stress—and the more lutein and zeaxanthin carotenoids in your macula, the better it can do its job.

Product Details

The nutrients our eyes need are often hard to come by, but it’s worth making sure we get enough of them to keep our eyes healthy over time. For instance: the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin are the main components of your macular pigment and help protect the eyes from the effects of excess blue and ultraviolet light.^1-3

Lutein & Zeaxanthin: vital for healthy vision

That's why this formula contains lutein, zeaxanthin and meso-zeaxanthin, as well as alpha-carotene, another eye health carotenoid that has been associated with protection of the macula and retina.⁴ 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.^3,5,6

Astaxanthin: fight eye fatigue

Japanese scientists have clinically studied astaxanthin. They’ve demonstrated that 6 mg of astaxanthin supplementation daily helped promote visual sharpness and eye health.⁷

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 integral part of every cell membrane in the body. This helps promote absorption of lutein and zeaxanthin. Good absorption is crucial for these nutrients to make it into the retina of the eye.³

Vision-enhancing benefits of saffron

This formula also includes saffron extract. Multiple clinical studies have shown that those with age-related vision concerns, supplementing with saffron helped support visual acuity, as measured both by advanced technical testing and on the Snellen eye chart that is commonly used by doctors to test vision.^8-10
