MacuShield MacuShield Original+

Frequently asked questions

What's in MacuShield Original+?

All three macular carotenoids — lutein (10 mg), zeaxanthin (2 mg) and meso-zeaxanthin (10 mg), sourced from marigold — plus vitamin B2 (riboflavin), which contributes to the maintenance of normal vision. One softgel daily with food.

What makes it different from a lutein-only supplement?

It includes meso-zeaxanthin alongside lutein and zeaxanthin. All three are the pigments found in the macula; many cheaper eye supplements include only lutein and zeaxanthin.

Why is the Holland & Barrett pack nearly £50 when Amazon is £31?

Different pack sizes — MacuShield comes in 30-day and 90-day packs. Check the capsule count on each listing; the £48.25 H&B price is likely the larger 90-day pack.

Is it certified for banned substances?

Yes — Informed Sport, with each batch independently screened against the WADA banned list. That's unusual for an eye-health supplement and reassuring for tested athletes.

Can it replace eating leafy greens?

No. Lutein and zeaxanthin occur in leafy greens and other vegetables; the supplement concentrates them but isn't a substitute for a varied diet. Discuss eye-health concerns with an optometrist.
