The Gold Standard of Macular Health
Macushield Gold offers a combination of Macushield capsules along with an additional supply of gold-coloured capsules that contain a combination of carefully selected supplements. The MacuShield Capsule uniquely combines three nutrients; Meso-Zeaxanthin, Lutein and Zeaxanthin. Scientific research shows that the yellow colour at the back of the eye, known as macular pigment, comes from these three carotenoid nutrients. These macular pigments come solely from our diet (fruits and green leafy vegetables). Therefore, macular pigment can be completely absent in people with very poor diets. Importantly, studies show that these three nutrients work together resulting in faster accumulation and better protection at the back of the eye.
The Gold Capsules
The Gold Capsules contain a careful balance amount of Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Zinc and Copper. This specific nutrient combination, in addition to the macular carotenoids, has been formulated following a recent, large, scientific trial in the United States; the AREDS 2 Study. *Ref Jama. 2013 May 15;309(19):2005-15 This research has determined the best nutrient combination for the maintenance of macular health. The Gold capsules contain levels of these important nutrients that would otherwise be difficult to attain from diet alone.
Trust The Science
New scientific research, arising from the Age-Related Eye Disease Study 2 (AREDS 2), published in a peer-reviewed medical journal (Journal of the American Medical Association) has reported that the macular carotenoids, in addition to Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Zinc & Copper is the best nutritional formulation for macular health. MacuShield Gold contains the AREDS 2 formulation and is uniquely fortified with Meso-Zeaxanthin, which, together with Lutein & Zeaxanthin, rapidly enriches an individual’s macular pigment.
What is the difference between MacuShield Original and MacuShield Gold?
MacuShield Original and MacuShield Gold both contain the three macular carotenoids. However, the MacuShield Gold capsules also contain a blend of high dose Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Zinc and Copper.
