The first integrative macular health formula designed for the way the modern body actually works

MacuZyme® Plus was created with a simple but urgent mission: to finally give people a macular health supplement that works with the body—not against its limitations. For years, eye care providers have reported a growing problem: more and more patients, and increasingly younger ones, are showing signs of poor carotenoid absorption. These individuals take traditional eye vitamins, yet their macular pigment levels barely move. Their visual performance doesn’t improve. Their symptoms persist.

The reason? Digestion and absorption—not age—are often the real barrier.

Macular health depends on fat‑soluble nutrients, especially the three macular carotenoids: lutein, meso‑zeaxanthin, and zeaxanthin. These nutrients must be digested, emulsified, absorbed, transported through the liver, and delivered to the retina. But for millions of people, this process breaks down long before the nutrients ever reach the eye.

MacuZyme® Plus was built to solve that problem.

A new understanding of macular degeneration

For decades, the industry has referred to macular degeneration as Age‑Related Macular Degeneration. But emerging clinical insights and real‑world patient experience tell a more accurate story: macular degeneration can occur at any age when fat‑soluble nutrients are not properly digested and absorbed.

Gut health challenges, bile insufficiency, digestive enzyme deficiencies, chronic inflammation, and modern dietary patterns all interfere with the body’s ability to process fat‑soluble carotenoids and Vitamin A. When these nutrients fail to reach the retina, macular pigment density declines—and visual function suffers.

MacuZyme® Plus is the first supplement designed around this modern reality.

Why MacuZyme® Plus was created

MacuZyme® Plus was developed in collaboration with eye care professionals who were seeing a troubling trend:

  • Patients with gut issues were not responding to standard lutein/zeaxanthin supplements.
  • Younger patients—sometimes in their 30s and 40s—were showing early signs of macular pigment depletion.
  • Many individuals had no idea that their digestive health was directly affecting their visual health.

The founders of MacuZyme® Plus recognized that the missing link wasn’t the carotenoids themselves—it was the body’s ability to absorb them.

So they built a formula that supports the entire nutrient‑delivery pathway: gut → liver → bloodstream → macula.

This is the foundation of the MacuZyme® Plus integrative approach.

The formula: complete, integrative, clinically informed

MacuZyme® Plus combines the Complete Triple Xanthophyll Complex™ with a targeted digestive and absorption support system—something no other macular supplement has done before.

1. Triple Xanthophyll Complex™ (XanthoSight®) — 425 mg

XanthoSight® provides all three key macular carotenoids: 

  • Lutein: ~193 mg
  • Meso‑zeaxanthin: ~193 mg
  • Zeaxanthin: ~39 mg

This 10:10:2 profile is the same ratio used in multiple peer‑reviewed studies showing improvements in macular pigment optical density and visual performance.* By delivering all three carotenoids in this balanced ratio, MacuZyme® Plus supports macular pigment across the entire spatial profile.*

2. Digestive & absorption support blend

A proprietary combination designed to help the body emulsify fats, break down nutrients, and transport carotenoids efficiently:

  • Ox‑Bile Powder (125 mg): Supports fat digestion and micelle formation, a critical step for absorbing fat‑soluble carotenoids.*
  • TUDCA (Tauroursodeoxycholic Acid) (100 mg): Supports bile flow and liver function, helping to move fat‑soluble nutrients through the gut‑liver pathway.*
  • Slippery Elm Bark (100 mg): Traditionally used to support digestive comfort and the integrity of the intestinal lining.*
  • Digestive Enzyme Blend (34 mg): A combination of protease, lipase, and amylase to support the breakdown of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, promoting better nutrient bioavailability.*

3. AstaZine® natural astaxanthin (4 mg)

AstaZine® is a natural astaxanthin derived from Haematococcus pluvialis microalgae. Clinical studies on natural astaxanthin have shown support for:

  • Visual function*
  • Reduced eye fatigue from visual display terminal (VDT) work*
  • Improved accommodative ability and protection against oxidative stress in ocular tissues*

By pairing astaxanthin with the Triple Xanthophyll Complex™, MacuZyme® Plus provides broad‑spectrum antioxidant support for ocular tissues.*

4. Delayed‑release capsule

MacuZyme® Plus is delivered in a delayed‑release (acid‑resistant) capsule designed to:

  • Bypass the harsh gastric environment
  • Open in the small intestine, where fat‑soluble nutrients are best absorbed
  • Help protect sensitive ingredients until they reach the optimal site for uptake*

Suggested use: Take two (2) capsules daily with a fat‑containing meal to optimize absorption and support macular health.*

Why absorption matters more than ever

Even the highest‑quality carotenoids cannot support macular health if they never reach the retina. Modern lifestyles have created a perfect storm of factors that impair fat‑soluble nutrient absorption:

  • Low‑fat or inconsistent dietary fat intake
  • Gallbladder removal or reduced bile output
  • Chronic digestive issues and gut inflammation
  • Enzyme insufficiency
  • High stress and processed food consumption
  • Gut microbiome imbalance

MacuZyme® Plus addresses these challenges head‑on by supporting the digestive steps required to absorb carotenoids effectively.*

This is why so many individuals who previously saw little benefit from standard eye vitamins may finally experience meaningful support with MacuZyme® Plus.*

The gut–liver–eye axis: a modern framework for visual health

MacuZyme® Plus is built on the understanding that macular health is not isolated to the eye—it is the result of a complex, interconnected system.

Step 1: Digestion
Carotenoids must be emulsified by bile and broken down by enzymes before they can be absorbed across the intestinal wall.*

Step 2: Absorption
Once emulsified into micelles, carotenoids enter the enterocytes (intestinal cells) and are transported to the liver.*

Step 3: Hepatic processing
In the liver, carotenoids are packaged into lipoproteins (especially HDL) for systemic circulation and eventual delivery to the retina.*

Step 4: Macular deposition
Lutein and zeaxanthin accumulate in the peripheral macula, while meso‑zeaxanthin concentrates at the fovea, forming the macular pigment that supports visual performance and helps protect against oxidative stress.*

MacuZyme® Plus is formulated to support each of these steps—something traditional eye vitamins have not addressed comprehensively.

Who MacuZyme® Plus is for

MacuZyme® Plus is designed for individuals who want a more complete, integrative approach to macular health, including:

  • Adults concerned about long‑term visual performance and macular support*
  • Individuals with digestive challenges that may affect nutrient absorption*
  • People who spend long hours on digital devices and experience visual fatigue*
  • Those who have not responded well to standard lutein/zeaxanthin supplements*
  • Anyone seeking a modern, science‑aligned approach to macular health support*

Our commitment to science, quality, and transparency

MacuZyme® Plus is formulated using premium ingredients, clinically informed ratios, and a systems‑based approach to nutrient delivery. Every component is selected with purpose, and every statement is crafted within structure/function guidelines.

We believe that macular health is not just about age—it’s about absorption, digestion, and the body’s ability to deliver nutrients where they matter most.

MacuZyme® Plus was created to support that journey.
