NUTRACEUTICALS

When the oil you are making from the Meibomian Glands is too thick to exit, the only way to thin this oil is by what you ingest internally. Supplements are often a necessity, but do not replace striving to achieve higher omega 3 content in your diet. It can take about 2 months to see the effect from these supplements, so stay the course and do not let yourself run out or quit!

OMEGA 6

Omega 6’s found in the diet are typically bad for you and will drive inflammation in your body. We recommend an omega 6 medical grade supplement designed especially to reduce inflammation and improve the quality of your tear film. It uses black current seed, which is not accessible in the diet, so while the benefit of omega 3 is somewhat dependent on the deficiencies in your diet, this can be an asset to all.

OMEGA 3

Research shows that taking 2000mg or more of medical grade Omega-3per day helps decrease inflammation and thin out the secretions that your oil glands are making. However there is an enormous difference between OTC omega supplements and medical grade omegas. What makes it medical grade is that it’s triglyceride form, meaning they remove the alcohol from it. Alcohol is what inhibits absorption and burns off to cause fish burps and GI issues. Ours also has 3:1 ratio of EPA to DHA which is what research has shown to have the biggest impact. It takes up to 18 of the typical OTC fish oil pills to equate to what you will get from 3 of this formulation.
