Product Details

Product Code: macuguard-ocular-saffron-LFE
Servings per Container: 60

The nutrients Life Extension's eyes need are often hard to come by, but it’s worth making sure we get enough of them to keep Life Extension's eyes healthy over time. For instance: the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin are the main components of yLife Extension's 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 yLife Extension's 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.7-9

Suggested Usage

Take one (1) softgel daily, with food, or as recommended by a healthcare practitioner. Based on scientific studies, this formula is enhanced with phospholipids to increase lutein absorption.

    Macular Degeneration

    Day 1 was good. Day 2 got whoosy and shaky. Decided to try it at bedtime. Got weird dreams and it woke me numerous times and in the morning I was covered in sweat.

    fits the bill

    Although the actual MacuGuard Ocular Support Carotenoid Blend pill size is larger than the supplement I was previously taking, this does not bother me and is not inordinately large. My order was shipped promptly and got to me well before the end target date. This company has excellent customer service and I love the free shipping.
