What Is MacuGuard
Ocular Support with Saffron?
MacuGuard® Ocular Support with Saffron provides important nutrients that help protect the eye’s
delicate photoreceptor cells, promote macular and retinal health.
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.
MacuGuard® Ocular Support with Saffron Benefits
- Contains lutein, meso-zeaxanthin & zeaxanthin for eye health support
- Provides comprehensive ocular nutrition in a single softgel
- Provides an optimal dose of saffron to support healthy vision
What are the health
benefits of Saffron?
Saffron is a kind of spice. Saffron extracts have
been used to promote feelings of satiety and to promote visual acuity and eye
health.
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?
"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.
"We also have a version of MacuGuard® that adds
astaxanthin. This helps support your vascular health within the eye and helps
fight eye fatigue."
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
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
