Why this certification matters
- Informed Sport
- Informed Sport certification is especially relevant for athletes in tested sports because products are batch-tested for substances prohibited in sport.
Frequently asked questions
- How is this different from MacuShield Original Formula?
- Same brand, same eye-health carotenoid range, vegetarian capsule shell — the Original Formula uses a standard gelatin-based softgel. Pick the vegetarian variant if you avoid animal-derived gelatin.
- Where is it sold?
- Amazon UK at £39 is the listed retailer.
- Why does this cost more than the standard MacuShield Original?
- The standard Original Formula sits cheaper on Amazon UK (£20). The vegetarian version typically costs more due to the plant-based capsule shell and lower production volume.
- Is the Informed Sport cert meaningful here?
- For tested athletes who want batch screening across every supplement, yes — Informed Sport tests each batch against the WADA banned-substance list regardless of category.
- Are MacuShield's carotenoids the same in both variants?
- MacuShield's published formula is the same across Original and Original+ Vegetarian. Refer to the live label for current per-softgel content.
