WHAT ARE CAROTENOIDS Carotenoids are natural pigments our bodies can t make on their own therefore we need to obtain 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 dark leafy greens egg yolks and fish 866 704 0845 info macuhealth com Use this code for a discount on your first order Nutrition you can see S UPPLEMEN T FACTS Serving Size 4 Softgels Servings Per Container 90 Amount Per Serving Calories Total Fat Vitamin C as Ascorbic Acid Vitamin E as D Alpha Tocopherol Zinc as Zinc Oxide Copper as Cupric Oxide SUPPORT YOUR VISION The average person consumes only one to two milligrams of macular carotenoids daily 6 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 Lutein L Meso Zeaxanthin MZ Zeaxanthin Z DV 15 1g 500 mg 268 mg 25 mg 1 2 mg 1 556 1787 227 133 10 mg 10 mg 2 mg Percent Daily Values DV are established on a 2 000 calorie diet Daily Value DV not established Other Ingredients Sunflower Oil Gelatin Capsule Gelatin Glycerin Purified Water Caramel Color Marigold Flower Extract Yellow Beeswax Sunflower Lecithin Ascorbyl Palmitate D Alpha Tocopherol Acetate Directions Take 4 softgels 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 Research has shown that 22 mg of Lutein Meso Zeaxanthin and Zeaxanthin in a 10 10 2 ratio increases macular pigment density which supports eye health and visual function 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 TF MHP 20241218 V15_PV1 www macuhealth com

MACULAR PIGMENT DOCTOR RECOMMENDED 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 MacuHealth contains all three macular carotenoids in a 10 10 2 ratio of Lutein Meso Zeaxanthin and Zeaxanthin with added antioxidants in the form of Zinc Vitamin C and Vitamin E for the aging eye The ingredients in MacuHealth have been studied in numerous clinical trials and found to increase macular pigment density leading to improved contrast senistivity and better vision in glare and low light conditions Macula Carotenoids L Z MZ Macular Pigment THE AGING EYE Over a lifetime our eyes work extremely hard to provide us with good vision The aging process can make the cells in the retina more vulnerable to light and oxidative stress This can result in blurry and dull central vision inability to adapt to low light conditions and decreased contrast sensitivity MacuHealth contains powerful antioxidants that help to decrease the oxidative stress and support the aging eye Normal Vision Compromised Vision SUPPLEMENTATION IS KEY THE BENEFITS OF HIGH MACULAR PIGMENT Protects Against Oxidative Stress The carotenoids of macular pigment are antioxidants protecting the sensitive cells in the retina from oxidative damage caused by light exposure and metabolic activity 1 Enhances Visual Function Studies have shown that higher macular pigment density is associated with improved contrast sensitivity 2 better vision in glare and low light conditions 3 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 Supporting a healthy diet and lifestyle with a carotenoid supplement particularly one that contains all three macular carotenoids has been shown to increase macular pigment density 7 the eye s main defense against oxidative stress Supplementation is key to keeping your macular pigment at a healthy level Blue Light Unfiltered Blue Light Filtered Low Macular Pigment Enhanced Macular Pigment Figure 1 An Illustration of how macular pigment filters blue light 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 shelf life In addition the 25 mg of Zinc in MacuHealth is well below the National Institutes of Health s daily tolerable limit of 40 mg Ask your doctor how MacuHealth can help Learn more at MacuHealth com
