Macular Support Formula is a multi-ingredient antioxidant and botanical formula from Pure Encapsulations, designed to support the macula — the central area of the retina responsible for sharp vision. The formula combines targeted carotenoids, amino acids, botanicals, and vitamins to support macular health and overall ocular health.
FloraGLO® lutein and zeaxanthin are the formula's headline carotenoids. FloraGLO® lutein is a branded lutein ingredient included to promote the integrity and density of the macular pigment, as well as help maintain the health of the optical lens. The formula also supplies a proprietary mixed carotenoid blend providing lutein, lycopene, and zeaxanthin as additional carotenoid support.
N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine is included in free-form as a glutathione precursor. Setria® glutathione (reduced) — a branded glutathione — provides glutathione directly, a natural antioxidant found in retinal tissues.
Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) fruit extract, standardized to contain 25% anthocyanosides, and grape (Vitis vinifera) seed extract, standardized to contain 92% polyphenols, round out the botanical antioxidant profile. Vitamin A (as beta carotene) and vitamin C (as ascorbic acid) contribute additional antioxidant activity to support optimal macular protection and ocular health.
Pure Encapsulations produces this formula as a vegetarian capsule and states that the product is gluten-free, non-GMO, hypoallergenic, soy-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, and vegan. The brand's line is free from wheat, soy, dairy, eggs, tree nuts and peanuts, gluten, artificial colors, flavors and sweeteners, coatings and shellacs, GMOs, unnecessary binders, fillers and preservatives, magnesium stearate, and trans fat and hydrogenated oils.
