Check out the suggested replacement Eye Moisture Support. Biosyntrx BioTears BioTears First - the healthy tear film standard of care. Designed by a woman-led research team that opened the doors for dry eye nutritional therapy in 1998. BioTears systemically address the structure / function cause and effects of ocular surface moisture production and is methodically redesigned when sufficient nutrition science dictates. It is made in a NSF, GMP registered facility. It's suggested in peer-reviewed literature that these specific nutrients support normal structure / function production of lubricants in other affected parts of the body, such as mucous membranes of the mouth and vagina, and interior body surfaces such as joints and synovial membranes. Suggested Use Four oral capsules per-day; two with each morning and evening meal. Precautions: Coumadin patients should consult their primary care physician when taking this formulation. Pregnant or lactating women, or individuals with medical conditions should also consult a physician before using. More Info. In developing a tear-specific formula for oral administration, Biosyntrx included the nutrient co-factors that support structure / function of lubricant production by physiologic rather than pharmacological means. These nutrient ingredients are designed to work synergistically rather than individually. The nutrient co-factors included in BioTears Oral Gel Caps support normal production of lubricants in the eyes and other affected parts of the body, such as mucous membranes of the mouth and vagina, and interior body surfaces such as joints and synovial membranes. In developing a tear-specific formula for oral administration, Biosyntrx included the nutrient co-factors that support structure / function of lubricant production by physiologic rather than pharmacological means. These nutrient ingredients are designed to work synergistically rather than individually. Omega 6 fatty acids from Black Currant seed oil, and Omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil and pharmaceutical grade cod liver oil, as an additional source of Omega 3 EPA/DHA and vitamin A is germane to the formulation. Vitamin E, specifically gamma tocopherols, stabilizes the EFAs. Curcumin is included to support ocular surface health. Vitamin C, as ascorbic acid supports fatty acid metabolism. Lactoferrin, an iron binding protein support inhibition of viral and bacterial biofilm formation, as well as supporting other tear lipocalins (family of proteins that transport small hydrophobic molecules that support modulation of the surface tension of the tear film that can affect the comfort of the contact lens wearer. Green Tea is included to support ocular surface health.
