See more Review: Unexpected Benefits - I started taking this 3 or 4 days ago and haven't had any high blood pressure or heart pounding feelings since. I didn't buy it for that reason and had no idea this was the magical ingredient I'd been missing. I have tried so many supplements, vitamins. herbs to try and stop this pounding, which was getting increasingly worse. I used to feel it in my entire body but then a few months ago I started really feeling it in my head. It's just gone. I googled other benefits of lutein besides eye health, and they do mention cardiovascular but again, I tried so many other supplements that are supposed to lower BP and they did nothing. I do know that anemia can cause high BP and heart rate, and one of the things lutein does is help a specific iron storage protein. So maybe that's it because it shouldn't be a magic bullet for blood pressure over every other herb and supplement I've tried, unless there's an unusual reason for mine being high and lutein just happens to have solved whatever that is. My legs have also stopped twitching and seizing up at night and anemia can be a cause of restless legs which makes me think it's the iron protein connection. Here is the paragraph I found online about that. "The mitochondrion also possesses iron storage capacity by mitochondrial ferritin, which provides protection against oxidative damage. In this study, we examined the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of lutein in the presence of H2O2 in BV-2 microglia and its possible role in the regulation of iron metabolism. Based on our results we suppose that lutein acts against ROS production and decreases inflammation by reducing TNFα secretion and increasing IL-10. Lutein influenced mitochondrial iron homeostatis by increasing mitochondrial iron storage protein levels and by modulating heme and iron sulfur cluster syntheses."

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" . Source: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4788689/# **Q: Are these capsules suitable for vegetarians?** A: No they are made from bovine gelatine - look at the macushield veggie option its a yellow and green box with the macushield name - they are. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unexpected Benefits *by S***R on 26 August 2024* I started taking this 3 or 4 days ago and haven't had any high blood pressure or heart pounding feelings since.

Cannot tell if it works. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great stuff! *by I***. on 1 October 2023* Having had lasik done, eye vitamins is essential so I decided to give this a go. I also take daily fish oil, vitamin c and zinc supplement alongside this (though i did start taking these supplements way before i discovered Macushield and no noticeable effects regarding vision until recently). Only my 5th day of taking Macushield chewable and may be early days to fully tell but i have noticed that my vision at night has kind of improved. Vision has become noticeably sharper, making it just a bit more easier to drive at night than before and dry eye symptoms seems to have reduced. Parcel arrived on time and in good condition. As for the tablets themselves, they have such a pleasant sweet taste. Making it easy and a delight to take. Will keep taking this vitamin for peace of mind when it comes to eye health :) Great product and good value for money.
