- Life Extension MacuGuard Ocular Support is an advanced eye health formula with lutein, zeaxanthin, and saffron. This dietary supplement, provided in a 60-softgel container, supports photoreceptor cells and night vision.
Life Extension MacuGuard Ocular Support with Saffron is a comprehensive dietary supplement meticulously formulated to protect and maintain long-term eye health. As we age, our eyes become more susceptible to the effects of oxidative stress and light exposure, making targeted nutritional support crucial. This advanced formula, available in a package of 60 easy-to-swallow softgels, combines essential carotenoids, phospholipids, and flavonoids. It is specifically designed to nourish the delicate structures of the eye, particularly the macula and retina, while also providing compounds that enhance night vision, addressing multiple facets of ocular wellness in a single, daily dose.
The core of this formula is a proprietary MacuGuard® carotenoid phospholipid blend. It delivers three critical carotenoids: lutein, meso-zeaxanthin, and trans-zeaxanthin. These three nutrients are known as macular pigments because they accumulate in the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp, detailed vision. Here, they act as primary filters of high-energy blue light, protecting the delicate photoreceptor cells from light-induced damage and oxidative stress. To ensure maximum benefit, the formulation is enhanced with phospholipids, which have been scientifically shown to significantly increase the absorption and bioavailability of lutein. The formula also includes saffron extract, which has been studied for its ability to support visual acuity and protect retinal cells. Furthermore, it contains C3G (cyanidin-3-glucoside) from European black currant extract. C3G is a potent berry flavonoid that helps regenerate rhodopsin, a vital compound in the retina that absorbs light and is essential for adapting to low-light conditions and maintaining healthy night vision.
For optimal results and consistent support for your eyes, the recommended dosage is one (1) softgel daily. It is best taken with a meal, particularly one that contains some fat, as this can further enhance the absorption of its fat-soluble nutrients like lutein and zeaxanthin. Consistency is key, so try to incorporate it into your daily routine at the same time each day. Always follow the guidance of a healthcare practitioner for personalized advice.
Each bottle contains 60 softgels, which provides a complete 60-day supply when adhering to the recommended daily dosage. This product is certified non-GMO, ensuring it is free from genetically modified organisms. It is designed for adults who are proactive about their health and wish to provide targeted nutritional support for their vision. Store the container tightly closed in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to maintain its potency and freshness.
