Carotenoids: Eye-friendly Nutrients
Carotenoids are a class of phytonutrients (plant chemicals) that are obtained from diet or supplements. Eating foods or taking supplements that contain carotenoids can offer a wide range of health benefits. For instance: the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin are the main pigments in the macular portion of the eye’s retina. Lutein and zeaxanthin protect your eye against light and free radical-induced damage.
Why Should I Supplement With MacuGuard® Ocular Support with Saffron & Astaxanthin?
"The nutrients our eyes need are hard to come by, and studies show that our bodies sometimes lose the ability to produce them as we age. With MacuGuard® Ocular Support with Saffron, you'll get all the nutrients you need to protect your eyes from oxidative stress. It also includes a cutting-edge berry flavonoid compound that helps support nighttime vision.
"We also have a version of MacuGuard® that adds astaxanthin. This helps support your vascular health within the eye and helps fight eye fatigue."
--Dr. Michael A. Smith, MD: Director of Education and Spokesperson for Life Extension.
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 and trans-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
