Dry eyes are most commonly treated with moisturising eye drops. They alleviate the symptoms but do not eliminate the inflammation that maintains and intensifies the dry-eye syndrome. Research carried out by the University of Turku’s Department of Biochemistry and Food Chemistry in cooperation with the Faculty of Medicine found that the intake of sea buckthorn oil had beneficial effects on the symptoms of dry-eye syndrome and on the most important clinical indicator of dry eyes, the tear films’ osmotic concentration. (Larmo P. et al. Oral sea buckthorn oil attenuates tear film osmolarity and symptoms in individuals with dry eye, Journal of Nutrition 2010; 140(8):1462-8).

Lutein and zeaxanthin are carotenoids that the human body enriches at the macula of the retina and the lens. Their task is to protect the eye from oxidative damage. According to recent studies, lutein is also accumulated in certain areas of the brain. The human body cannot produce lutein or zeaxanthin; these must be gained from nutrition.

Besides the valuable fatty acids; Omega-3, -6, -7 and -9, the product also includes vitamin E, vitamin A (from beta-carotene) and lutein. Vitamin A contributes to the maintenance of normal vision.
