MacuShield Original Plus Capsules, 90-Day Pack

My optician recommended this product to help with macular degeneration and I feel it is helping. I have used this for a year and the macula in my eyes has not got worse. To me that is a great result.

The Bottom Line: YES. If you are serious about long-term eye health—especially if you have a family history of macular issues like we do—this 90-day pack is the most logical way to buy. It’s a simple "once-a-day" commitment that is very easy to stick to. Blisters vs. Bottles Most high-count supplement packs come in one giant bottle of loose pills. This 90-day pack is much better thought out: it contains 6 blister packs of 15 capsules. This makes it incredibly easy to track if you’ve actually taken your dose for the day, and it keeps the capsules fresh and protected from moisture compared to a bottle that is opened and closed every morning. The Experience: Swallowability & Aftertaste My wife takes these religiously due to a family history of macular degeneration. She finds the "elongated egg" shape of the capsules much easier to swallow than standard round tablets or large "horse pill" supplements. She takes one a day with breakfast and has noted that there is absolutely no metallic or "repeat" aftertaste, which is a common complaint with other eye supplements we've looked at. The "Original Plus" Formula This is the "Plus" version for a reason. It contains the triple-threat of Lutein, Zeaxanthin, and Meso-Zeaxanthin, but also includes Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin). While the carotenoids are there to help build macular pigment, the B2 is specifically included to help maintain normal vision. It feels like a very complete, "all-in-one" approach for those concerned about their sight. Who This Is For vs. Who Should Skip • BUY THIS IF: You have a family history of eye issues or spend long hours in front of screens. It’s about preventative peace of mind. We’ve been using these for 6 months now and it has become a permanent fixture in our morning routine. • SKIP THIS IF: You already take a high-end "A-Z" multivitamin that might already include these specific ingredients—it's worth checking your labels first to avoid doubling up. While you can't "see" a supplement working immediately, the stability of my wife’s eye health and the convenience of this 90-day regime make it worth the investment for us.

Good value. Hopefully help eye health.

Recommend by optician and taken for many years

These capsules are one a day and contain the now a third recommendation of areds. I cannot quote direct scientific evidence but the meso- zeaxanthin is included. I am just an ordinary lady terrified every six months as I am getting as i get monitored for the advance of macular degeneration that has been the case for nearly two years. I have taken maccuboost and laterly this product and today at examination no further increase. At the reduced price I am going to buy a few packs. Bonus is 1 capsule per day that contains the three areds. I would say do your research and give them a try.

Very easy to swallow, quite small, tasteless, no side effects, and recommended by my optician (they have some different ingredients than Macusave). Very good.

I don’t know if these do anything - certainly not noticeable so far. I’ve progressed onto the gold, even more expensive, version. They do seem overpriced. Why is it a dose of 3 tablets a day? They aren’t large capsules. I suspect it’s a poor attempt to make you feel like you’re getting better value for money. Why don’t they just put the nutrients in one tablet? I’m also cynical about a company that feels it’s okay to have 3 tiers of tablets when you could just make the ‘good’ ones. Poor people are relegated to less effective versions. Why bother making regular, plus and gold?

These MacuShield Original Plus capsules have been simple to add into my daily routine. They’re smooth to swallow, have no aftertaste and feel gentle on the stomach, which makes them easy to take consistently. The packaging is neat and keeps the capsules fresh, and the formula focuses on ingredients commonly used for eye wellness. The capsules have a slightly noticeable smell when the pack is first opened.

Great product

I purchased this supplement at the request of my ophthalmologist. After watching my grandmother go blind from macular degeneration, I knew I wanted to do everything I could to prevent the same thing from happening to me. The doctor's office sells something similar loaded with extra stuff that I already take in my daily vitamin and for a much higher price. I settled on this one because it has the same amount of the 3 proteins and less of the added stuff. I have it on subscription so I save money and never run out. There is no taste, it's easy to swallow since it's small, and doesn't turn your pee and alarming shade of orange. I've only been on it gor 3 months so I can't verify how well it works but that will come I'm sure.

Best supplement to support eye health and slow down progression of macular degeneration. Only 1 tab a day vs. the other popular supplement dosage is twice a day. (am/pm) Couldn’t remember the pm dose.

Excellent product recommend by doctors who are specialists in macular degeneration. Mom takes them and likes them. I Recommend this product.

Good price, good product, recommended by my eye doctor
