A Dedicated Eye-Wellness Formula

MacuDefence is a comprehensive eight-ingredient formulation built specifically around eye wellness: four nutrients with well-established GB-register health effects (Vitamin C, Zinc, Vitamin E and Copper) alongside Bilberry Extract, Pine Bark Extract, Lutein and Zeaxanthin — four botanicals and carotenoids with long traditions of use in eye-health nutrition. One or two vegan capsules per day covers the full formula.

More Than a General-Purpose Eye Vitamin
Many general multivitamins include low levels of Zinc or Vitamin C. MacuDefence is a dedicated eye-wellness formula with ingredients selected specifically for their relevance to eye nutrition. The combination of Bilberry Extract (4:1 concentration, 150mg per capsule), Pine Bark Extract (100mg), and the carotenoids Lutein (10mg) and Zeaxanthin (2mg) alongside Zinc 10mg (100% NRV), Vitamin C 80mg (100% NRV), Vitamin E 6mg (50% NRV) and Copper 0.5mg (50% NRV) makes this a targeted formulation — not a general supplement with eye-labelled packaging.
A Daily Step for People Who Look After Their Eyes
The people who choose MacuDefence tend to spend long hours reading, driving or in front of digital screens. They are proactive about their wellbeing and want a dedicated formula rather than a scattering of ingredients across several different products. One capsule with breakfast covers the full formula; those who prefer two capsules can split them through the day. At 60 capsules per bottle, it's a two-month supply at one per day.
Botanicals and Carotenoids in Eye-Health Nutrition
Lutein and Zeaxanthin are carotenoids concentrated in the macula of the human retina, where they are found naturally in the body. They are not manufactured by the body and must be obtained from food or supplements. Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) has been used in traditional European herbal practice for vision wellness since the Second World War, when RAF pilots reportedly consumed bilberry jam before night missions. Pine Bark Extract is rich in oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs), plant compounds that have attracted nutritional research interest. Neither bilberry, pine bark, lutein nor zeaxanthin is on the GB nutrition register for any approved health effect.
Inside the Formula
Bilberry Extract 4:1 — 150mg — Vaccinium myrtillus, concentrated at 4:1 from whole bilberry. Bilberry has a long history in traditional European herbal practice associated with eye and vision wellness. It is not on the GB nutrition register for any approved health effect.
Pine Bark Extract — 100mg — Rich in oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs), plant compounds found in the bark of Pinus pinaster. Pine Bark Extract is not on the GB nutrition register for any approved health effect.

Lutein — 10mg — A carotenoid found naturally in the macula of the human retina. Lutein must be obtained through diet or supplementation. It is not on the GB nutrition register for any approved health effect.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many capsules should I take?
Adults take one to two capsules per day with water. At one capsule per day, 60 capsules provides a two-month supply.
What is the difference between Lutein and Zeaxanthin?
Both are carotenoids found in the macular region of the human retina. They are chemically similar but structurally distinct isomers. Neither is manufactured by the body and both must be obtained from the diet or supplementation.
Is MacuDefence suitable for vegans?
Yes. The capsule shell is Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC), plant-derived, with no gelatin. The formula is free from lactose, gluten, wheat, soya, yeast and dairy.
Is this a food supplement?
Yes. MacuDefence is a food supplement and should not be taken as a substitute for a varied, balanced diet and healthy lifestyle. Not recommended for use by pregnant or breastfeeding women. If you are taking medication or under medical supervision, consult your healthcare practitioner before use.
Why does this formula contain Copper alongside Zinc?
Zinc and Copper compete for absorption. Including Copper at an appropriate level alongside Zinc is a standard formulation practice to maintain a balanced intake of both minerals.
