Macutene® Protect
Developed by retina specialists, Macutene® Protect is an AREDS2-based formula that contains or exceeds all the ingredients used in the AREDS2 clinical trial and has more than twice the amount of lutein & zeaxanthin to provide optimal macular support.
Daily nutrition for the macula & retina
Macutene® supplies the nutrients your eyes concentrate but diet often can't provide enough of — at the levels used in landmark research.
Macular carotenoids
Lutein and zeaxanthin are the pigments the macula naturally concentrates to filter high-energy blue light.
AREDS2®-based nutrition
Vitamin C, zinc and antioxidants at the researched levels, enriched with bilberry and quercetin.
For the long run
Two capsules a day to nourish the macula and retina consistently over time.
Carefully formulated from natural ingredients
Lutein & Zeaxanthin
Carotenoids that shield the macula from high-energy light and help protect against inflammation.
Found in: kale, spinach, broccoli
Vitamin C
Forms collagen for ocular structure and adds antioxidant support.
Found in: citrus, bell peppers
Zinc
The retina holds high concentrations of zinc; sufficient levels support macular health and dark adaptation.
Found in: shellfish, seeds, legumes
Bilberry
Anthocyanin antioxidants that support the retina and help with night vision.
Found in: bilberry, blueberries
Copper
Supports flexible connective tissue for eye structure and balances zinc intake.
Found in: nuts, whole grains
Quercetin
A potent plant antioxidant that helps protect the retina from free-radical damage.
Found in: onions, apples, capersBuilt on the AREDS2® clinical trial
The Age-Related Eye Disease Studies (AREDS® and AREDS2®) were led by the National Eye Institute, part of the U.S. National Institutes of Health. They established that daily high doses of specific antioxidants and minerals can help support macular health.
Macutene® Protect is an AREDS2®-based formulation — built to those researched levels and enriched with additional lutein, zeaxanthin, bilberry, green tea and quercetin.
