Life Extension MacuGuard Ocular Support with Saffron & Astaxanthin
Life Extension MacuGuard Ocular Support with Saffron & Astaxanthin is an eye nutrition softgel that brings together carotenoids, a berry flavonoid and saffron in a single capsule. It builds on the standard MacuGuard formula with several extra ingredients.
Key features
- Lutein, trans-zeaxanthin and meso-zeaxanthin – three carotenoids associated with the macula
- Astaxanthin, a reddish carotenoid pigment found in algae
- Saffron, the spice taken from the crocus flower
- C3G (cyanidin-3-glucoside), a flavonoid from berries
- Alpha-carotene and phospholipid compounds included in the blend
- All ingredients delivered together in one softgel
This version suits people who like the idea of a broader eye-focused formula rather than taking several separate supplements. The softgel format is well suited to the fat-soluble carotenoids it contains.
Available in a pack of 60 softgels.
