The UK's No. 1 eye health supplement brand

MacuShield - available at Barracloughs

Our eyes keep us connected to what we love. Did you know that certain nutrients play a specific role in the eye?

MacuShield supplements target the macula, the central part of your retina responsible for sharp vision. They contain macular carotenoids, like lutein and zeaxanthin, which are natural pigments found in vegetables. These pigments act like a shield for your eyes in two ways:

  • Blue Light Defense: Macular carotenoids filter out blue light, a type of light that can damage eye cells over time. This can help protect your eyes from age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a leading cause of vision loss.
  • Antioxidant Powerhouse: MacuShield supplements also contain antioxidants like vitamins C and E. These help neutralise harmful molecules in your eyes, preventing cell damage and supporting overall eye health.

While a balanced diet rich in leafy greens can provide some of these nutrients, MacuShield offers a convenient way to ensure you're getting optimal levels for long-term eye health.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND MACUSHIELD

The Retina
Imagine your eye is a camera. The retina, a light-sensitive layer at the back, acts like the film. Light enters your eye, the lens focuses it on the retina, which then turns it into electrical signals. These signals travel through a nerve called the optic nerve to your brain, where they become the images you see.
The Retina
The Macula
Imagine the retina at the back of your eye as a bullseye. Right in the centrer lies a special region called the macula. This tiny area is basically the control room for your sharp, central vision. It allows you to see fine details straight ahead, making it crucial for tasks like reading and driving.
The Macula
Macular Carotenoids
Imagine the retina as a camera sensor. The macula is like a super-sensitive spot right in the center. Packed with light-seeing cells, it allows us to see fine details. Our body even gives the macula a special boost by placing light-sensitive pigments called macular carotenoids right there, helping us get the clearest central vision possible.
Macular Carotenoids
Macular Pigment
We have a special pigment in the back of the eye called the macular pigment. It gives this area a slightly yellowish tint, kind of like a natural sunglasses filter. This pigment is made up of three main ingredients called lutein, zeaxanthin and meso-zeaxanthin. Interestingly, meso-zeaxanthin is most concentrated right in the center, where our vision is sharpest.

These important nutrients are concentrated in the macula, a crucial area of the eye for sharp vision. This short video dives into how you can support your macula through diet.

You can pick up MacuShield at any Barracloughs store. Choose from MacuShield original (suitable for vegetarians) or MacuShield Gold which additionally contains Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Zinc and Copper.

Taken once a day, it's an easy to take food supplement combining all three Macula carotenoids. The formula is developed in collaboration with leading eye experts.
