Omega-3 fats provide the foundation for healthy eyes

Fish oil: the best source for necessary eye nutrients, EPA and DHA. Additionally certain key nutrients such as Lutein, Zeaxanthin and certain vitamins and minerals are required for optimum eye health support.

Eye tissue has a unique biochemical demand for the omega-3 fats, EPA and DHA from fish oil. Omega-3 fats, which are almost absent from typical Western diets, are highly concentrated within the cells of the eye and are necessary to maintain healthy structure and function of ocular tissue. Omega-3 fats keep eye cell membranes fluid and flexible. Studies show that higher intakes of omega-3 fats from fish oil support the production of natural anti-inflammatory molecules that help alleviate ocular symptoms such as dryness, pain, redness, and lack of tear production. DHA levels within the eye have been shown to support internal repair systems that operate in response to oxidative stress and inflammation. The protective action of DHA within the eye is associated with decreased likelihood of having age-related damage and degeneration of eye tissue.
