Omega-3 fatty acid intake has been shown to play a critical role in helping support healthy tears1 and is recommended as part of an effective treatment plan for occasional dry eye.2,*
In a study published in JAMA Ophthalmology, Omega-3 fatty acid intake was also associated with a decreased risk of developing sight-threatening diabetic retinopathy for individuals with Type 2 Diabetes.3

Lots are also tested by third party labs to ensure our manufacturing claims are correct, but also validate stability and expiration dating.

These fish oils are in rTG (re-esterified triglyceride) form, containing 1080mg of EPA and 420mg of DHA per day—levels shown to play a critical role in helping produce healthier tears. (Bhargava, 2013) (Macsai, 2008) (Kangari H, 2013)
Additionally, NEI has commented and supported the conclusions on a large-scale study that shows benefit to those type 2 diabetic patients who may be at risk of diabetic retinotopy (Chew, 2017). This study showed:
“In middle-aged and older individuals with type 2 diabetes, intake of at least 500 mg/d of dietary LCω3PUFA, easily achievable with 2 weekly servings of oily fish, is associated with a decreased risk of sight-threatening DR. Our results concur with findings from experimental models and the current model of DR pathogenesis.” (Sala-Vila A 2016)
