Life Extension, MacuGuard, Ocular Support with Saffron, 60 Softgels

1 Daily Gluten Free Non GMO LE Certified Plant Extracts to Support Healthy Vision Dietary Supplement Based on scientific studies, this formula is enhanced with phospholipids to increase lutein absorption. Your eyes can undergo changes as a factor of normal aging. But certain focused nutrients can have a beneficial effect on normal eye health. That’s why we created our MacuGuard® eye health support formulas. Macular pigment density: vital for healthy vision Maintaining healthy levels of carotenoids, like lutein and zeaxanthin that make up the macular pigment in your retina is essential for maintaining eye health. Macular pigment density is also essential to healthy vision. But levels of macular pigment gradually decline over time. That's why MacuGuard® contains lutein as well as trans-zeaxanthin and meso-zeaxanthin, powerful carotenoids that are difficult to get from diet alone. Lutein and zeaxanthin support underlying photoreceptor cells against oxidative stress, inhibit the effects of excess light and promote a healthy inflammatory response to support eye health.  We’ve also added Alpha-carotene which your body needs to make vitamin A. Vitamin A is essential to maintain a healthy eye structure and function. Phospholipids for lutein absorption Phospholipids help support phytonutrients like lutein reach the bloodstream. They also help protect active compounds from degradation. Pre-clinical evidence indicates that phospholipids can promote lutein absorption, encouraging the circulation and accumulation of lutein within the retina. Nutrition for night vision: C3G berry flavonoids MacuGuard® also contains cyanidin-3-glucoside, a flavonoid derived from European black currant berry extract.  Pre-clinical evidence suggests that this potent antioxidant encourages the regeneration of rhodopsin, a light-sensitive retinal pigment which promotes visual acuity in low-light conditions. Age-related decline of rhodopsin plays a role in the loss of night vision, so this nutrient may support healthy night vision in older eyes. C3G can also help inhibit inflammation to support eye health. Vision-enhancing benefits of saffron This formula also includes saffron to support healthy vision. People supplementing with saffron showed seeing an average of two additional lines on the Snellen eye chart commonly used by doctors to test vision.
