Macushield is made up of 3 dietary compounds; lutein, zeaxanthin and meso-zeaxanthin, collectively known as the macular pigments. Macular pigment is yellow in colour and therefore absorbs damaging blue light.

Lutein and zeaxanthin are dietary carotenoids that filter damaging high-energy blue wavelength light from the visible-light spectrum by as much as 90%. Lutein and zeaxanthin are antioxidants and therefore protect against the damage caused by free radicals.

Meso-zeaxanthin is the 3rd component of the macular pigment and is only found at the centre where vision is sharpest. Meso-zeaxanthin is obtained by the conversion of lutein to meso-zeaxanthin in the macula. It is not found in a typical diet. Meso-zeaxanthin is being recognised as a more powerful neutraliser of free radicals than either lutein or zeaxanthin.

Supplementation with meso-zeaxanthin will ensure that this component of macular pigment accumulates at the target tissue (i.e. the central macula) in a way that is not dependent on an enzyme to convert lutein to meso-zeaxanthin. Indeed, such an enzyme may be lacking in some individuals.

    Prompt Delivery

    This is my second order from butterflies eyecare.

    As the first order, delivery was prompt. Although on this order Canada Post collected a 'duty' on the Macushield delivery. Not surprised tax,tax,tax.

    Simply outstanding.

    Macushield Original is once a day supplement for my husband’s dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in both eyes, which he endures for more than 10 years. We prefer the original formula, with no additional supplements added to it as they are included in other products he uses, as well as in a number of dietary sources we eat. We carefully monitor/calculate his intake of all the elements needed to have a stable AMD as there is no possibility to reverse the process or to find a cure for it. So, in short, the Macushield Original formula, together with other supplements, his food (spinach, broccoli, kale, lettuce, eggs/yolk, powdered Tagetes erecta* species flowers) and the ‘red light therapy’, also known as photobiomodulation, help us to keep my husband’s condition stable.

    Great experience with the Butterflies Eyecare and its business model. From the time of placing my order in the UK on June 16, 2025—to the confirmation notice of the delivery in Canada on June 25, 2025—everything was perfect. The most unexpected thing (judging from my many years of dealing with the shipping of my online purchases) was that I was informed about the transit of my package from literally ALL the important points of my order positioning.

    The Royal Mail service, with its model of communicating with the customer, was outstanding.

    Instead of going online and trying to track down my orders, I would get an email from the Royal Mail, which was on the top of everything. Thank you.

    *Tagetes erecta…
