About This Product

  • Promotes healthy vision
  • Made with plant extracts
  • Non-GMO and gluten-free

Combat age-related vision concerns with MacuGuard Ocular Support from Life Extension. This science-based formula helps protect the eye’s photoreceptor cells, promotes macular and retinal health, and supports visual acuity with a blend of eye-friendly plant extracts—including lutein, zeaxanthin, and saffron.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are lutein and zeaxanthin?

Lutein and zeaxanthin are carotenoids that make up the eye’s macular pigment, which helps protect against oxidative stress and the damaging effects of excessive blue and ultraviolet light exposure.

What is oxidative stress?

Oxidative stress refers to an imbalance of free radicals and antioxidants in the body, which can cause damage to cells.

What are the health benefits of saffron?

Studies have shown that this spice can support visual acuity (sharp vision) as we age.

Directions

Take one (1) softgel daily with or without food, or as recommended by a healthcare practitioner

Warning

The only kind in the store

KAREN T

Eye health is important. This supplement doesn’t irritate my stomach.

Liz H

I started this about 4 months ago and could tell it was helping my eye health right away. I’m going to continue taking it.

Mirianne S

Helps support my eye health

Robin P
Is this supplement for macular degeneration? How has it worked for others? Is there another product better for macular degeneration?
A shopper
I read where this has Saffron in it as well (20mg), however that is not listed in the ingredients. Why not seeing that a Life Extension ad claims it does?
Vernon A

Best Answer:  That is a separate product - a blue bottle with saffron and astaxanthin

Delores L
Is it ok to take this along with my daily fish oil supplement and multivitamin?
Victoria T
What size is this softgel?
Joy M.
What's this product used for?
A shopper

Best Answer:  I have read that studies have found Zeaxanthin to be effective is slowing or even reversing macula degeneration. There is macula degeneration on both sides of my family, and I've been taking it for about ten years for that purpose. So far, so good! I think it is also supposed to be effective for general eye health. You shouldbe able to do a search on "zeaxanthin" to learn more about it.

Shirley S
Does this product help with dry eyes and night vision?
RICARDO L G

Best Answer:  I use this product at the suggestion of my ophthalmologist for the specific purpose of reducing and preventing macular degeneration. The label says it has olive & safflower oils and lecithin, all of which are lubricating. I can't imagine these would help dry eyes any more than taking fish oil does. I've been taking this for 2 years and night vision still stinks.

Belinda W
Does this product help with dry eyes and night vision?
A shopper

Best Answer:  No, not in my case. Cataract surgery helped my night vision and Systane eye drops (Walgreens) helps my dry eyes. I took the Macuguard for about a year, in the hope that I could fend off cataract surgery, but I had the surgery anyway. It's worth a try. Each case is different. Good luck with the pills.

Linda
does it contain any zinc? I cant have any zinc so making sure.
A shopper

Best Answer:  According to the label it has: MacuGuard Carotenoid Phospholipid blend, Phospholipids, marigold, extract (flower) providing 10 mg free lutein, 4 mg meso-zeaxanthin & trans-zeaxanthin
C3G (Cyanidin-3-glucoside) from European black currant extract (fruit). Other ingredients extra virgin olive oil, soy lecithin, gelatin, glycerin, sunflower ouil, soy fatty acids, beeswax, purified water, potato maltodextrin, annatto color. I didn't read Zinc.

Marcia R
I have been taking Super Zeaxanthin. Looking to get more. Is this the same product with a different name?
Margaret G.

Best Answer:  Hi Margaret,

I have never used Life Extension's MacuGuard, only their Super Zeaxanthin. I looked up the Supplement Facts for both products on the Vitamin Shoppe website, and they do appear to be very similar. Both contain Lutein and Zeaxanthin, which are the main eye support ingredients. The MacuGuard appears to have some extra ingredients but I'm not sure how much of an added benefit they would provide. You might try contacting the Life Extension company for a better explanation. Hope this helps.

Dormine A
is this gluten free?
SHARON S.

Best Answer:  Yes, it is. I am gluten intolerant and have been taking for over a year.
