Review: Didn't work for me - Having read all the reviews this seems an easy option to help my eyesight but after several weeks worth of use nothing has improved if anything my eyesight has got slightly worse Review: Don't trust this product - This is a complaint. There was no patient information leaflet in the box which is a red flag for the genuineness and safety of the medication as there always has been a leaflet whenever I've bought them before. It doesn't seem possible to return this item normally and the system of asking for a phone call does not work. I am not prepared to take these capsules as I don't trust them and think I should be entitled to refund (happy to return.) Would strongly advise not to buy. Had to give one star to be able to submit - obviously want to award none. ## Features - UK’S No.1eye health supplement brand* - SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN TO HELP SUPPORT EYE HEALTH* *MacuShield Original Plus contains vitamin: B2 (riboflavin) which contributes to the maintenance of normal vision - HELPS TO MAINTAIN NORMAL VISION- contains vitamin B2 which is proven to help maintain normal vision. - CONTAINS ALL THREE MACULAR CAROTENOIDS THAT ARE FOUND IN THE EYE- the antioxidants plus a targeted blend of nutrients such as vitamin B2 which is proven to help maintain normal vision. - DEVELOPED WITH LEADING EYE EXPERTS: A simple step to help care for your vision* developed with leading eye experts. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09WYLRDGB | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Allergen Information | Contains: Gluten Free | | Benefits | Eye Health Support | | Best Sellers Rank | 278 in Health & Personal Care ( See Top 100 in Health & Personal Care ) 1 in Lutein Antioxidant Supplements | | Brand | Macushield | | Brand Name | Macushield | | Colour | Red | | Container Type | Box | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 3,209 Reviews | | Diet Type | Gluten Free | | Dosage Form | Capsule | | Dose Release Method | Immediate Release | | Flavour | Unflavoured | | Global Trade Identification Number | 05036631006505 | | Item Dimensions | 6.8 x 6.8 x 13 centimetres | | Item Form | Capsule | | Item Nype Name | Capsules | | Item Weight | 18 Grams | | Item form | Capsule | | Item weight | 18 Grams | | Manufacturer | Alliance Pharmaceuticals Ltd | | Manufacturer Contact Information | Alliance Pharmaceuticals Ltd. | | Manufacturer Part Number | 614853 | | Material Features | Gluten Free | | Material Type Free | Artificial Colour Free, Artificial Flavour Free, Dairy Free, Gluten Free, Lactose Free | | Model Name | Macushield Capsules 1 | | Model Number | 614853 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Package Size Name | Original - 90 Day Pack | | Pill Coating | Capsule | | Primary Supplement Type | B-Complex | | Primary supplement type | B-Complex | | Special Ingredients | Carotenoids, Lutein | | Specific Uses For Product | Age-related Eye Health, Antioxidant Support, Eye Health, Macular Health, Vision Support | | Supplement Formulation | Individual Supplement | | Total Servings Per Container | 90.0 | | Unit Count | 90.0 count | | Unit count | 90.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Macushield - **Diet type:** Gluten Free - **Flavour:** Unflavoured - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 6.8 x 6.8 x 13 centimetres - **Item form:** Capsule - **Item weight:** 18 Grams - **Primary supplement type:** B-Complex - **Product benefits:** Eye Health Support - **Special ingredients:** Carotenoids, Lutein - **Unit count:** 90.0 count ## Images ![MacuShield Original Plus Capsules - 90-Day Pack, Eye Health Supplement* with Lutein Zeaxanthin and Meso-Zeaxanthin + Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) which Helps Maintain Normal Vision - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/710u8nn0JdL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: In one review I read they not suitable for people with wet macular degeneration, is it true?** A: Not true. My dad had wet, took these pills, wet disappeared month later. **Q: You advertise 90 tablets and send 30 this is wrong as i ordeted 90.please change this** A: 90 in the pack = 30 days **Q: is it exactly the AREDS formula** A: AREDS is an acronym for an Age-Related Eye Disease Study carried out by an American organisation, the National Eye Institute, which concluded that taking a daily supplement containing 500 milligrams vitamin C, 400 international units of vitamin E, 15 milligrams beta-carotene, 80 milligrams zinc, and two milligrams copper, could slow the progression of advanced are related macular degeneration (AMD).A subsequent trial (AREDS2, commencing in 2005 and lasting 5 years) involved adding or removing various compounds from the original formula, to see what effect that had. The conclusion was summarized as "Long-term use of AREDS supplements appears safe and protective against advanced AMD," said Chew. "While zinc is an important component of the AREDS formulation, based on evidence from AREDS2 it is unclear how much zinc is necessary. Omega-3 fatty acids and beta-carotene clearly do not reduce the risk of progression to advanced AMD; however, adding lutein and zeaxanthin in place of beta-carotene may further improve the formulation". The study also concluded there was no discernible impact on development of cataracts, although it noted that "a subgroup of participants with low dietary lutein and zeaxanthin gained some protection".Source: https://nei.nih.gov/news/pressreleases/050513 Based on the label information, and the details from that study, this product formulation appears to adhere to the conclusions of the AREDS 2 study, plus the addition of 10mg of meso-zeaxanthin, another compound that appears to assist in eye health. A study published in the the European Food and Technology Research journal states "a formulation containing all three macular carotenoids (typically 10 mg/day of L lutein, 2 mg/day of Z zeaxanthin and 10 mg/day of MZ meso-zeaxanthin) does appear to offer some advantages in terms of augmentation of macular pigment across its spatial profile, and in terms of improvements in visual performance in diseased and non-diseased eyes" .
