Lacritec, as a systemic approach to dry eye treatment, is ideally placed to augment other dry eye treatments and provide superior outcomes.
Lacritec uniquely combines the benefits of concentrated fish oil, borage oil, and the proven and professionally researched flaxseed oil.1
The physiological and nutrigenomic benefits of alpha-linolenic acid, which is derived from flaxseed oil, result in a systemic lowering of inflammatory cytokines and prostaglandins that have been directly associated with dry eye symptoms. Specifically, studies showing the effect alpha-linolenic acid has on interleukin 6 and prostaglandin E2 highlight the unique benefit flaxseed oil provides in the treatment for dry eye disease.1
