Our tests showed that most products contained the lutein and zeaxanthin they claimed to provide, but one product had much higher amounts than claimed (see What CL Found).Suitability for Smokers or Former Smokers: MacuShield Gold can be beneficial for individuals who smoke or have smoked in the past. Smoking is associated with increased oxidative stress, which can impact eye health. The macular carotenoids in MacuShield Gold, with their antioxidant properties, can offer support in such cases. robust statistical analysis confirmed that there was a statistically significant difference with respect to the reported efficacy of supplements, which was dependent on the actual supplement recommended, and was in favour of Macushield" Online AMD Research Study 2011

Zeaxanthin: Like lutein, zeaxanthin can protect the eye from oxidative damage. Some research [ 3] even suggests that zeaxanthin may offer more efficient free radical scavenging activity in the eyes compared to other carotenoids. Mitigating oxidative stress in the eyes could prevent the formation and progression of several diseases such as AMD, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy (DR), and cataracts.

On average, people don't consume enough lutein and zeaxanthin in their diets and/or have low levels of lutein in their blood or low macular pigment density; for them, taking a lutein supplement may slow the progression of age-related macular degeneration (although it won't improve the condition). It may also reduce the risk of needing cataract surgery and improve some aspects of brain function (see What It Does).
