👁️ All 3 Macular Carotenoids in One Capsule
One of the main features that distinguishes MacuShield Original+ from many conventional eye supplements is its combination of all three macular carotenoids:
Lutein – 10 mg
Meso-Zeaxanthin – 10 mg
Zeaxanthin – 2 mg
Together, these form the:
LMZ Formula
Lutein, Meso-Zeaxanthin and Zeaxanthin are carotenoids associated with the macular pigment of the eye.
Lutein and Zeaxanthin cannot be produced by the human body and therefore need to be obtained through the diet.
Meso-Zeaxanthin can be formed to some extent in the retina from Lutein.
MacuShield Original+ provides all three directly in a standardized daily formula.
🌼 10 mg Lutein
Each daily capsule provides:
Lutein – 10 mg
Lutein is a naturally occurring carotenoid found in foods such as dark green leafy vegetables.
Within the macular pigment, Lutein is particularly concentrated toward the outer region.
MacuShield combines Lutein with Meso-Zeaxanthin and Zeaxanthin rather than supplying Lutein alone.
🟠 10 mg Meso-Zeaxanthin
Each capsule additionally provides:
Meso-Zeaxanthin – 10 mg
This is one of the most important differentiating features of MacuShield Original+.
While many conventional eye supplements contain Lutein + Zeaxanthin, MacuShield Original+ adds a substantial amount of:
Meso-Zeaxanthin
to create its three-carotenoid LMZ Formula.
Meso-Zeaxanthin is particularly concentrated in the central region of the macular pigment.
🟡 2 mg Zeaxanthin
The third carotenoid in the formula is:
Zeaxanthin – 2 mg
Zeaxanthin is naturally present in foods including yellow and red vegetables.
Within the macular pigment, Zeaxanthin is particularly concentrated in the middle region.
Together with Lutein and Meso-Zeaxanthin, it completes the 10:10:2 LMZ Formula used in MacuShield Original+.
🔬 The 10:10:2 LMZ Formula
Each capsule provides the three macular carotenoids in a defined ratio:
Lutein 10 mg
Meso-Zeaxanthin 10 mg
Zeaxanthin 2 mg
or:
10 : 10 : 2
This specific combination is one of the main reasons MacuShield Original+ stands apart from conventional Lutein-only and Lutein + Zeaxanthin supplements.
The manufacturer states that this combination has been investigated in several scientific studies.
🌼 Carotenoids from Tagetes erecta
The three carotenoids in MacuShield Original+ are obtained from:
Tagetes erecta
also known as:
Marigold
Each capsule contains:
157 mg Tagetes erecta Extract
The standardized extract provides:
10 mg Lutein
10 mg Meso-Zeaxanthin
and:
2 mg Zeaxanthin.
👁️ With Vitamin B2 for Normal Vision
MacuShield Original+ additionally provides:
Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) – 0.3 mg
equivalent to:
21% NRV
Vitamin B2 contributes to:
Maintenance of normal vision*
and:
Protection of cells from oxidative stress.*
This is particularly important from a regulatory perspective: the authorised normal-vision health claim relates to Vitamin B2, rather than making a disease-treatment claim for the carotenoids.
