SUPPORT YOUR VISION Research has shown that 22 mg of carotenoids in a 10 10 2 ratio increases macular pigment density which supports eye health and visual function DID YOU KNOW The average person consumes only one to two milligrams of macular carotenoids daily 6 HOW MUCH IS NEEDED While there is not a defined Recommended Daily Value for macular carotenoids studies of healthy individuals 7 and the human diet through evolution 8 show that 20 25 mg of macular carotenoids is an appropriate daily goal Spinach has one of the highest levels of Lutein and Zeaxanthin one cup 25 g contains 3 mg of Lutein Zeaxanthin 9 To reach the daily goal one would need to consume 7 cups 175 g of spinach which does not contain the third macular carotenoid Meso Zeaxanthin 866 704 0845 info macuhealth com Use this code for a discount on your first order Nutrition you can see SUPPLEMENT FACTS Serving Size 1 Softgel Servings Per Container 90 Amount Per Serving Lutein L Meso Zeaxanthin MZ Zeaxanthin Z 10 mg 10 mg 2 mg DV Daily Value DV not established Other Ingredients Sunflower Oil Gelatin Capsule Gelatin Glycerin Purified Water Annatto Marigold Flower Extract Yellow Beeswax Sunflower Lecithin Ascorbyl Palmitate D Alpha Tocopherol Acetate Directions Take 1 softgel daily preferably with a meal TM 2024 MacuHealth Distribution All rights reserved These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration This product is not intended to diagnose treat cure or prevent any disease References 1 Arunkumar et al 2020 doi 10 1016 j bbalip 2020 158617 2 Nolan et al 2016 doi 10 1167 iovs 16 19520 3 Stringham et al 2016 doi 10 1186 s40662 016 0060 8 4 Cougnard Gregoire et al 2023 doi 10 1007 s40123 023 00675 3 5 Mrowicka et al 2022 doi 10 3390 nu14040827 6 Johnson et al 2010 doi 10 1016 j jada 2010 06 009 7 Su et al 2002 doi 10 1038 sj ejcn 1601472 8 Murray et al 2001 doi 10 1006 jfca 2000 0960 9 https fdc nal usda gov fdc app html food details 1103136 nutrients TF MH 20241016 V14_PV2 www macuhealth com
MACULAR PIGMENT The macula is a small but important part of the retina located at the back of the eye It is responsible for detailed central vision which allows you to recognize faces read fine text and appreciate the rich colors of the world Three potent antioxidants called carotenoids Lutein L Zeaxanthin Z and Meso Zeaxanthin MZ are found in high concentration in the macula Together they are collectively known as macular pigment Macula Carotenoids L Z MZ Macular Pigment THE BENEFITS OF HIGH MACULAR PIGMENT Protects Against Oxidative Stress The carotenoids of the macular pigment are antioxidants protecting the sensitive cells in the retina from oxidative damage caused by light exposure and metabolic activity 1 WHAT ARE CAROTENOIDS Carotenoids are natural pigments our bodies can t make on their own so we need to get them from our diet There are over 600 carotenoids in nature but humans only consume about 50 Only three of these carotenoids accumulate in the retina Lutein Zeaxanthin and Meso Zeaxanthin These powerful antioxidants play a crucial role in supporting the macula from oxidative stress by absorbing harmful blue light and neutralizing free radicals 5 Key dietary sources of carotenoids include brightly colored fruits and vegetables leafy greens egg yolks and fish SUPPLEMENTATION IS KEY Maintaining healthy levels of macular pigment is important for long term eye health Supplementation with the three macular carotenoids is key to keeping your macular pigment at a healthy level Enhances Visual Function Studies have shown that higher macular pigment density is associated with improved contrast sensitivity 2 better vision in glare and faster photostress recovery times 3 Blue Light Unfiltered Blue Light Filtered Internal Blue Light Filter High energy blue light from sunlight and digital devices is absorbed by macular pigment 4 as illustrated in Figure 1 It is our own internal blue light filter protecting our central vision Low Macular Pigment Enhanced Macular Pigment Figure 1 An Illustration of how macular pigment filters blue light DOCTOR RECOMMENDED Numerous clinical trials have demonstrated significant benefits from regular supplementation with the ingredients found in MacuHealth The 10 10 2 Triple Carotenoid Formula has been shown to accumulate in the retina increasing macular pigment density which can improve contrast sensitivity and vision in glare and low light situations BEFORE AFTER THIRD PARTY TESTED Every batch of MacuHealth is tested by independent third party labs to ensure it meets label claims and remains safe and stable throughout its entire shelf life MacuHealth is certified by Informed Sport NSF Sport and Supplement Certified Ask your doctor how MacuHealth can help Learn more at MacuHealth com
