Our science

Formulated by physicians. Grounded in research.

Every Pristene formula starts with clinical evidence — not trends — and is dosed to the levels used in the research.

Clinical foundation

Built on landmark trials

The Age-Related Eye Disease Studies (AREDS and AREDS2) were multi-year clinical trials led by the U.S. National Eye Institute. AREDS2 refined the original formula — adding lutein and zeaxanthin — and helped define the antioxidants and minerals that support macular health.

Most supplements fall short of those researched doses. Macutene® Protect is built to them — then enriched with bilberry, green tea and quercetin, transparent to the last milligram.

Our philosophy

Where nature meets the lab

Nature already makes many of the nutrients your eyes rely on* — the gold of marigold lutein, the violet of bilberry, the crimson of saffron. Our work is to treat those botanicals with scientific discipline. Three principles guide every formula:

Evidence firstMarigold, bilberry & saffron — nutrients and botanicals chosen for peer-reviewed research, not trends.
Doses that matterFormulated to the levels used in research — then third-party tested for purity and potency, every batch.

"Most patients aren't getting enough nutrition to support their eyes through diet alone, so I recommend Pristene® supplements."
