Protect the eye’s delicate photoreceptor cells, promote retinal health, and support healthy vision with this MacuGuard formula. It has vitamins and nutrients like lutein, zeaxanthin and saffron, which have been shown to benefit eye health. They also help defend the eyes against oxidative stress. To help get these nutrients where you need them most—the retina of the eye—this formula uses phospholipids to promote absorption. And did your eyes spy the saffron extract in this formula? It has been added to help promote sharp vision and ocular health. Review: I’ve been taking this supplement since the end of March. A friend recommended after I’d gotten one of those subconjunctival hemorrhage (or blood in the white of the eye) I’ve used prescription glasses to drive for the past 3 years. But yesterday I started noticing my distance vision was worse with those glasses..hum.. maybe just too much computer time as eyes at my age (over 60) have a harder time refocusing after close up reading. But again today even after very little computer time.. I kept taking them on and off to confirm that I really CAN see better without the prescription sunglasses! I had Lasix in 1999 and had the mono-vision option, where my dominate eye is for distance and other for reading. For about 15 years I didn’t need any glasses (I’d been very nearsighted) but age crept up and now I have reading, tv, computer and driving prescription glasses. But today I drove all over town just wearing my old NON-prescription sunglasses and was able to read street signs I could read before without prescription glasses…hence my title of this review. I’m stunned! My distance eye (my dominant which is for distance) is better?!? Huh??? I still need reading glasses unless that also improves. We’ll see! I never expected this and see others have also benefited. I do have very dry eyes and my Dr just prescribed Restasis but I haven’t started it yet. I can’t wait see if it helps even more as Restasis reduces the inflammation causing very dry eyes (I’m also a long time antihistamine taker) Just wanted to add my review to others here. UPDATE: I had an eye exam 2 days ago and my doctor confirmed I have zero indications of AMD. None of the drusen which can be precursors to AMD. I’m also seeing better up close. Today in the grocery store I was able to actually read (not super clear) the letters on the Tuna cans I buy. I always had to get out my reading glasses before to even see if I was actually buying canned tuna and not something else. I almost laughed out loud. It’s like the lights are brighter which I can’t explain. So my point of this update is to say I’m a person with zero AMD and my vision is improving. This supplement is amazing.

One has the astaxanthin and the other does not. This is the one without it. **Q: I don't see saffron listed as an ingredient. Am I missing something?** A: Here is the full list of ingredients: Serving Size 1 softgel Amount Per Serving MacuGuard® proprietary blend 173 mg Phospholipids, marigold extract (flower) providing 10 mg free lutein, 4 mg meso-zeaxanthin & trans-zeaxanthin, mixed carotenoids providing 1.24 mg α-carotene Saffron extract (stigma) 20 mg C3G (cyanidin-3-glucoside) from European black currant extract (fruit) 2.2 mg Other ingredients: extra virgin olive oil, gelatin, glycerin, safflower oil, beeswax, palm oil, purified water, acacia gum, annatto color, potato maltodextrin. Non-GMO LuteinPlus® and Mz® are registered trademarks of NutriProducts Ltd., UK, licensed under U.S. Patent 8,623,428. **Q: Of the 4 mg zeaxanthin, how much of it is meso?** A: I called LE on July 8, 2018. I was told 2.8mg of meso-zeaxanthin and 1.2mg of trans zeaxanthin. I was disappointed, but then again, saffron is expensive, so they had to control the price somewhere! **Q: Why don’t you ship to Hawaii, it’s the US?** A: You need to take that up with Amazon. Why they would send me that question is a mystery to me. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by R***Y on 29 June 2022* I’ve been taking this supplement since the end of March.
