MacuGuard® Eye Support with Saffron provides lutein , trans-zeaxanthin and meso-zeaxanthin , three important nutrients that protect the sensitive photoreceptor cells in the macula of the retina from light damage. This innovative formula also contains C3G (cyanidin-3-glucoside), a peak berry flavonoid compound that helps stimulate the regeneration of rhodopsin, a compound in the eyes that absorbs light in the retina to support night vision. Lutein is one of the key components of the macula and is important for proper vision. Consuming large amounts of lutein and zeaxanthin, which are found in vegetables, can help provide the nutrients necessary to maintain the structural integrity of the macula. It is difficult, however, to increase the systemic circulation of these important nutrients through diet alone. MacuGuard® Eye Support with Saffron contains phospholipids, which are an integral part of the cell membrane, as well as other important components for eye health such as lutein. Phospholipids have been shown to help in the effective absorption of lutein. Furthermore, scientific research has shown that phospholipids improve systemic circulation and lutein concentrations in the retina of the eyes and are an important weapon for eye health. MacuGuard® Eye Support with Saffron offers triple eye protection: Supports lutein concentration in the eyes, helps in the effective absorption of lutein, while phospholipids enhance lutein in the cell membrane. It also supports zeaxanthin concentrations in the eyes. It also provides meso-zeaxanthin which is difficult to obtain from dietary sources. Each capsule contains MacuGuard® Eye Support with Saffron carotenoid phospholipid blend, which provides phospholipids, lutein, meso-zeaxanthin and trans-zeaxanthin, along with cyanidin-3-glucoside (C3G), an extract from European black currant.
