MacuHealth Plus in the US, MacuPrime Plus in the UK and Europe

MacuHealth and MacuPrime products contain not only lutein and zeaxanthin but also meso-zeaxanthin which studies have found to be as important a carotenoid as the other 2. For more about the studies, Google Professor John Nolan at the Waterford Institute of Technology of Ireland. He and his colleagues have been studying the 3 carotenoids for 20:years.

This is NOT the same as MacuShield which is a UK product.

June 2023 Site archived for maintenance

The main purpose of this site was for Sue to share her articles. She hasn’t been writing much for the site for years. The main focus since then has been on the Facebook group.

You’ll find pages ‘not found’ or made ‘private’ so that they can be reviewed and updated, if necessary. Some of the pages are too outdated to be accurate and helpful. We haven’t decided if we’ll continue to maintain the site or not. When that decision has been made, I’ll share that here.
