BioTears Oral Gel Caps has been clinically suggested to improve the tear chemistry and the health of the ocular surface on over 75% of the dry eye patients studied. BioTears Oral Gel Caps has been clinically suggested, through slit lamp observation, rose bengal staining, and lisemine green staining to improve the health of the ocular surface. BioTears Oral Gel Caps has been clinically suggested to extend tear break-up time (TBUT). BioTears Oral Gel Caps has been clinically suggested to increase aqueous output through the use of both ZoneQucik and Schrimers tests. BioTears Oral Gel Caps has been clinically suggested to increase tear lactoferrin levels with the Touch Tear MicroAssay System Thousands of satisfied BioTears customers strongly suggest, with every monthly repeat order, the very real subjective data that further proves product efficacy. The scientists at Biosyntrx have discovered a unique way to address many of the underlying inflammatory processes associated with dry eye syndrome. Oral administration of specific omega 6 essential fatty acids that contain sufficient amounts of gamma-linolenic-acid (GLA) are suggested to stimulate the natural production of tear-specific anti-inflammatory series one prostaglandins (PGE1). We use Black Currant Seed Oil as our source of omega 6 GLA because it is more stable than either Borage Oil or Evening Primrose Oil. We do not use Flax Seed Oil because it is the most unstable of the essential fatty acid oils, and it does not contain GLA.  Flax stability issues keep it from easily converting to GLA, which it must do to produce tear-specific anti-inflammatory PGE1. Clinical studies have suggested that the nutrient co-factors included in BioTears Oral Gel Caps may restore 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 suggested necessary to address dry eye syndrome by physiologic rather than pharmacological means. These ingredients are designed to work synergistically rather than individually, and are suggested in published scientific literature to effectively address the inflammatory process responsible for most dry eye syndrome, as well as enhancing and restoring function to the glands involved in all three layers of the tear film.   Manufacturer's Supplement Info/Ingredients Two softgels contain: Vitamin A (as retinyl palmitate) 1000 IU Vitamin C (as calcium ascorbate and ascorbyl palmitate) Vitamin D3 (as cholecalciferol) 50 IU Vitamin E (as mixed tocopherols oil) 32 IU Vitamin B6 (as pyridoxal-5-phosphate) 8 MG Magnesium (as magnesium sulfate) 20 MG Proprietary blend of GLA and DHA/EPA EFA's (as Black Current Seed Oil and Cod Liver Oil) 802 MG Mucopolysaccharides (mucin complex) 250 MG Turmeric (Curcuma longa) extract (root) 100 MG Lactoferrin 10 MG Also contains: Gelatin, glycerin, carob extract, yellow beeswax, titanium dioxide and water.
