The #1 Best Natural Dry Eyes Treatment
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 чер 2024
- Learn all about the best natural dry eyes treatment! Here I share some research and guidance into what I consider to be the best natural treatment for dry eyes. Dry eye syndrome can be very complex and more omega-3 fatty acids in your diet can help prevent dry eye symptoms naturally. If you are struggling with your dry eyes, hopefully, this information will help you out.
As noted in the video, this content is not sponsored and I did not want to discuss any brands of omega 3 supplements specifically.

If you wish to dive down the rabbit hole of how omega 3s can help with dry eye, as I did, here is a list of referenced studies to help you.

Despite the research cited, there is some debate in the literature about omega 3s but a lot of that can be lost in the small nuances of the research being conducted.
Personally, at least on the topic of dry eye, I have found the majority of research supports omega 3s can help improve meibomian gland secretions, reduce tear film inflammation, stabilize the tear film and improve dry eye symptoms.
Note: Dry eye syndrome can be complicated by other forms of ocular surface disease and it is always best to consult with your local eye care professional if you are experiencing any eye pain or vision changes.

My eyes are sensitive to light and when i wake up and open my eyes after opening and seeing light after a while i start sneezing so hard for like 20 to 30 minutes
What can i do to improve this?
Cod Liver liquid oil...3/4 of a shot glass...
@Doctor eye health I have a question my eyes turned white while walking down the road one night and started glowing and I could see everything in the dark in full detail but everything was lit up a kinda blue light is this normal?
Don't forget Cod liver oil i think it's the best.
I have a question: Could a color blindness type other than deuteranomaly/protanomaly/tritanomaly/deuteranopia/protanopia/tritanopia/and acromatopsia excist?. I'm asking because i see blues more like purple and reds more like pink and yellow more like green, And cyans look greenish in some shades.
Thanks for the comprehensive content, they’re so informative doc! I have just started a job as a triage orthoptist and your videos have made my life so much easier. I am able to actually connect patient symptoms and really communicate with patients more accurately and effectively!
Would be really interested to see if you have videos on more “niche” corneal conditions, particularly Fuchs Dystrophy in terms of diagnosis, treatment/management - especially before or until surgical intervention is necessary. Thanks again ❤
After studying and suffering from dry eye, I understood that dry eyes is not an eye disease,its disease related to inflammation which can be due to viral infections, immune related issues, or related to gut, work on underlying causes, any eye drop, warm compress etc are short term relief but nothing changes without dealing with underlying cause
I completely agree with you
Ive have always been wanting to get my health checked and find out what the underlying issues I have are, but my parents won't get me to the hospital because they said it's not related to them. Since I'm only 15 I can't go by my self.
I had a problem in my digestive system which was the main root for my dry eyes. But, when I took treatment for that my dry eyes got invisible now I am healthy.
I personally suggest everyone to search and learn about long covid too, dry eye is one of the main symptoms of long covid but most ophthalmologist never talk about it, I suffered dry eye for two years and after that i discovered it's all due to long covid
@@BajwaMohit Hi Jason, what tests did you take or what did you do to determine that your digestive system was the culprit? Txs!
Highest level professional content I have ever seen on Yt...thank you so much.
Thank you Doctor Allen! I've learned much more from you about my eye problem than the opthalmologist I saw last month.
Just wanted me make a comment about dry eyes…..I am a retired hospital nurse and have worn contact lenses for 56 years ( since I was fourteen) . I have found that when I am well hydrated with pure drinking water …..……have purposely hydrated at designated times during the day ( like taking a dose of life -saving medicine!) , I do not have dry eyes and my contact lenses remain comfortable from sunup to ( well past) sundown. In my decades of nursing, I never had to wear my glasses once…….as long as I was well hydrated!!! I discovered the importance of drinking water to make the eyes moist ! Just wanted to share!
I noticed that too. If my contacts become uncomfortable, then I know I need to drink more water and that fixes it.
Then madame, you do not have the dry eyes syndrome.
yeah because water does nothing for dry eyes
Doesn't help me
Merveilleuse vidéo que j'attendais depuis longtemps !
So helpful. I have under active thyroid and coeliac disease and for years I have had chronic pain in my eyes and they are red and the pain stops me feeling good.
So I have only just after 27 years of having this that b12 and B6 helps and now your recommendation of omega3s
The uk doctors and NHS are discussing they don’t help or even look at what autoimmune disease causes secondary inflammation.
Also if it wasn’t for a family friend I would have died within a year as I was undiagnosed from birth to age13!
I lost childhood , education and mental and physical development. So videos and people like yourself are a blessing. Thank you 🙏🏼
This is quite informative and simply stated. No convoluted or technichal expressions😊
What a great video! Thank you so much for your videos on dry eye syndrome!
Thanks doc for this video although I don't personally suffer from dry eyes, I do enjoy learning about these things 😸
WOW thank you so much for this informed video. I have been taking Omega 3 supplements, but now I know which supplements work the most. You have helped a lot.
Vitamin A 5000 IU per day is what finally healed my dry eyes. I had been doing fish oil and warm compresses which helped a little, but it was the Vitamin A that finally worked.
Can you plz explain... Because I am hopless from dry eyes🥺🥺🥺🥺 plz help🙏🙏
I'm going to to try Vit A
have you tried lutein too?
@@mahalaxmidayal6882 how please can you share with me
@@mahalaxmidayal6882 how plz tell
Great vid doc! Looking forward to your results in the next one!
Yes! Thank you
I'm looking forward to your video about the blood test! I mean, first we have to know what our omega 3 / omega 6-level is and decide based on these values if we need supplements or if we don't need them. That would be my way to go. Of course the question would also be what good values are...
Yes! I was pretty astounded by my levels (how low they were when i first started) and then how my symptoms changed over time. Looking forward to finishing that video.
Excellent information! Looking forward to Part II Taking Omega 3 Supplements and Before/After Blood test results.
🙌 yes! Should be a good one
Thanks so much for another great vid!
This dry eye is looking forward to Part 2 😘
Love to see your before/after blood test results!
It’s strange, how Omega 3 recommendations are so much lower here in Europe…
But I trust your up to date knowledge much more.
Hiii...
Thank you so much for your recommendation and for your content.
Hopefully everyone would like it❤
Plz recommend treatment for dry and sunken eyes.
Hiya! Thanks for the vid. Quick question about the best way to take Omega 3s supplements. What time of the day is better? Is it best practice to do it on an empty stocmach or with food? Cheers.
Great work! Thanks for the helpful info❤
for sure! Happy to help
Hello , Dr. Allen, I am thankful for your videos but I have a question about Omega-3 diet . I am trying to understand whether canned fish is rich in it . What is your opinion?
Dr. Allen, you are the BEST! Thank you!
Thanks, Sallie!!!
Hey doc, just a reminder if you forgot
You were going to make a video on vision restoration for keratoconus patient using bioengineered cornea made from pig collagen
Will this treatment be commercially available in a decade (I am currently 20, and I will be more than happy even if I get this at 30)
Your content is great, and I recommend your channel to everyone on Reddit forums.
Thank you for this video. I have learned so much
thank you so much for your videos!! I love my omega-3 supplement and I noticed that on days when I take it my eyes a less dry. Actually, what you mentioned about eating fish is important to note , because for a time I was eating trout twice a week and did not see that it was really helping my dry eyes. We later started buying salmon and wow!! it improved. So like you said its important to eat the right kind of fish too. Thank you again for all your useful videos. Excellent videos!!
You're so welcome! Thanks for sharing your experience with this. It was interesting reading about what types of fish have more omega 3s in them. Some sources list tuna as having a lot but when I read into it...it really doesn't.
do you get any natural tears while crying or cutting onions?
Thank you so much for your videos on dry eye syndrome. In December I woke up one morning with my eyelid stuck to my eyeball which created an abrasion on my cornea. I’m still dealing with vision problems four months later because of scar tissue on my cornea. I’m looking very forward to your recommendation on the best omega-3‘s. Thanks again for what you do!
Check with your internist and if you have cardiologist check with them also.
I was told to stop the omegas immediately. I have Sjogrens which lends itself to dry eye and I was told to not make Omegas by my cardiologist.
Studies have come out indicating the negative effects on your cardio system.
I was disappointed ,but they were very adamant to stop taking Omegas.
@@md21656 what the hell, I just started taking omegas and seen a huge improvement in my brain and skin, even my red eyes issue went away. Can I get a link to those studies?
@@md21656 what omegas do they recommend or what to replace the omegas? Any answers?

Thank you for this video. I look forward to your next video featuring your experience and recommendations for good brands to try. I take Omega Red krill oil so as not to have digestion issues. I have learned so much from your videos. Thank you again.
Is krill oil higher in omega-3 than regular fish oil? Or higher in EPA or DHA?🤔
@@disaj7460 the MegaRed krill has different strengths depending on what you want.
I chose it because I have delicate digestion and this causes me no fishie burps.
I got frustrated actually doing research to start…so many promises and double talk by companies caused me a lot of indecision but I’m very happy with what I’m taking. It makes a difference in my health. I also take Naturewise Flaxseed oil. I hope I helped you.
@@marymiettinen9821 thank you so much...superhelpful! I'm taking something now that's causing digestive upset; I suspect it's not the preferable triglyceride formula that doc suggested. I'll give the MegaRed a go. Cheers!🕊
Great update. Mentioned this on a previous clip, but 4-5 grams/day of triglyceride Omega 3 over 12 weeks worked pretty well for me. As you suggest. not a silver bullet but very good efficacy. Add to this the general downregulation of inflammation overall and it's a win win.
That’s a verrry high amount, what side effects did you have from that dose
@@Cooliewhistleshabab
Thank you for this video,been taking salmon oil supplements for years. You confirmed what is written on my bottle,and also how much I am getting. Turns out in very small print it says adult can Take up to four a day. I've only been taking one, lol. I will slowly build up to four. Thanks the info about taking with food also very helpful. You are appreciated.
Thanks so much Donna! Hope things are going well for you.
Wow. This was more detailed than my brain can take in one watch 😂but thank you so much for this Omega info. Fantastic info as usual 🎉
Really appreciate the kind feedback, Genevieve! Thanks
Thank you for the video. I'm using Omega 3 for about 3 months now. I had dry eye issues. Using Omega 3 the issues are gone. I don't use any
medications with it, so, for me it's working.

Taking omega 3, thst has EPA and DHA, Occuvite Complete twice a day, drinking lots of water, and using a tear solution and anti-allergy eye drops thst have no preservatives in them had helped my extremely dry eye problem tremendously.
can you share the names of the eye drops you use

Hi any thoughts on taking maqui berry or bilberry supplements for dry eye?
We need a “Best Contact lens 2023” video covering daily, monthly, coloured everything. Please make this 🙏 🙏
Very helpful. Thanks Doc. I get lax on my fish oil. Ik it helps I can tell when I take it. I take 2 kinds, cod liver oil, Engelvaer is the brand and fish oil, can’t remember name but it’s pretty common blue/white label. I probably take at least 3000. No burps for me. But I now know I need to stick with it for at least 3 months. Was diagnosed with MGD pretty bad in my left eye
Grazie mille, ho assunto 8000 iu Omega-3 durante la pandemia e avevo notato che i miei occhi secchi stavano meglio( sindrome sicca, fibromialgia) così ho iniziato spalmare un po' di olio di oliva sulle palpebre e ho ricevuto sensazione di benessere.. ora ho conferma anche dai tuoi studi , grazie per le tue conoscenze, ho fatto diverse visite ma nessuno mi ha consigliato Omega-3!
True true. Thanks for sharing! found it helpful :D
Would love to see a video on brands you recommend. Ive taken all types of fish oil & it does help w my arthritis and dry eyes. But im now taking xiidra eye drops too.
do you get any natural tears while crying or cutting onions?
Thanks so much for sharing this
Doc ... Is the Omega 3 Index relevant here? For example, I take a plant-based Omega blend that has been shown to elevate desired Omega 3 levels in the body ... in half the time and half the dosage ... of fish oils.
Thanks Dr. Allen. Lots of love from Bangladesh ❤
Most welcome!
Is Hemp oil better than fish oil? Hemp oil contain Omega 3, 6 and 9. Also I would be happy if you make a video about freckles in the eyes, I have green/blue eyes but last years freckles started appearing on the iris of my left eye. An ophthalmologist told me I have an optic athrophy on that eye. Could it be related to the freckles?
Many specialists, lots of medical debt, and all I'm told about losing 60% of my vision in one eye is "Well, go home and keep an eye on it". That felt extremely cruel. Eight months later, my eyes hurt constantly, & all I know is I have optic neuritis, but having a name does not help.
Thank you for giving me something to try. I'm scared and felt hopeless. I've had high cholesterol for the first time in my life (odd for a vegan!), so I tried tuna, saw no change. Thank you for plant based options.
Salmon or cod livers are better.
I take algae oil supplements. The studies show that our bodies process it identically to the omegas found in fish oil (which came from algae to begin with). My preferred brand is Testa, based on the amounts of DHA and EPA, but there are other good brands out there. And some crappy brands. Just like with fish oil.
Dear Dr. Allen,
I hope this comment finds you well. I've been struggling with severe dry eyes from about 10 years. After doing some research, I came across moisture chamber glasses from Ziena that seem to be highly recommended for managing dry eye symptoms.
I'm seriously considering purchasing these glasses, but I'm a bit hesitant about buying glasses online. I was wondering if you could make a video on how to buy glasses online, specifically from Ziena . thanks in advance
try castor oil, put it on the eyelids at night, every night :)
thanks for information but i wanna know one more thing...what is the best time of the day of taking omega3 pills? b4 meal or after meal ?
Thank you sooo much for this video.. it would be a great help if your provide your experiment and findings about the the types/brands of fish oil that you have tried for dry eyes... pleeeeae.. I have S. Jogrens syndrom and I really do suffer as I work 9-5 office job
Please recommend best Omega 3 supplements.
Thanks for the good content Dr, what is tour opinion on using Castor Oil for your eyes, I see alot of video's on a lot of benifits using Castor oil?
do you get any natural tears while crying or cutting onions?
@@medhikasingh6327 just a tad bit.
Thanks 🙏 for your info .
For sure! Happy to help.
You are helping me so much
This video was very useful Doctor, I suffered Steven Johnson Syndrome in 2003 and as a result I developed dry eyes. Apart from dry eyes, i have two more issues, one is my eyelashes growing inwards and scratching my cornea and the other is thickening of the skin inside my eyes, I think it is called Conjunctiva. Whenever I visit a doc,they use to pluck the hair that grows inward and give drops, recently my vision has decreased, doctor is not telling anything properly, can you guide me in this please.
Thank you from Canada !
Thank you..👌 Quality video
🙏🙏I appreciate that!
hey doc, what’s your take on icl for dry eye patients? I have 7mm schirmers and 8-10sec TBUT
❤much obligated for the advice. 😇😍
Wow, I didn't know omega 3 came from algae! I'm curious how much is found in seweed and spirulina... Everyone always talks about Salmon. Fun fact aquarist like to feed sharks in aquariums fatty fish like mackerel and herring b/c the oils help their buoyancy. PS: love the cute animation sounds ❤
haha thanks so much, Vanesa! Thanks for sharing the tidbit about the aquarist!
I would love recommendations on omega 3
Sometimes when I lie down, my eyes, mouth (tongue) and nose dry up horribly. Tongue feels like sand paper. Eyes feel like they are encased in the grain side of leather. Only happens when I lie down. If I sit up, things start to get normal again.
Hey Dr Allen, thanks for the vid - cool to hear the benefits of oral omega 3 supplements. Do you have any thoughts/tips on topical omega 3? We have an eyedrop in Australia called Novatears and they have released a new version called Novatears + Omega 3 - is it worth the extra price tag? Or is it just a marketing gimmick?
I have had success with refresh Mega3 which has some omega 3 in there from flax seed. While I suspect the oil/ omega 3 component helps with maybe a mild degree of inflammation, I believe it helps more with stabilizing the tear film and preventing evaporation.
I wish you were my eye doctor. I'm getting older and 12 years ago started wearing reading glasses. I'm now seeing tiny floaters and have trouble at night going from a dark room into a brightly lit room. Takes twice as long for my eyes to adjust. And I have a low degree of dry eye.
Thanks Dr!
Happy to help! Thanks for always being awesome!
I had dry eyes for years. I saw top ophthalmologist at the medical school and the doctor asked me if had sinus surgery because he noticed many patients with dry eyes had sinus surgery. I did have sinus surgery! I had tried 25 different eye drops, I did warm compresses, the tea tree eyelid wash and increased my Omega 3 still had dry eyes! We went to this health spa signed up for three day water fast on alkaline water to induce autophagy. I noticed my dry eyes went away! I talked to my ND about it later and he put me on an alkalizing formula that is mixed in water and told me to increase my water intake as well and that worked I was cured.
woah! Amazing to hear that. I know there is a lot of talk about autophagy right now. Hope I can find some publications linking it to dry eye.
Fish oil is a blood thinner..Recently told by my doctor that before any major operation you should stop taking it..Could cause complications after surgery..
Your videos are the best!! So informative! I have such bad dry eyes. I was wondering if a person that has a shellfish allergy can take Omega 3’s??
Fish oil supplements aren’t made from shellfish- shouldn’t be a problem
@@kayintexas4672 Thank you!! I’m so happy to hear that!
Usually, supplements don't include shellfish, but always read the label as they could contain trace amounts or be made in a similar processing plant. You could also consider algae based forms.
@@DoctorEyeHealth Are algae supplements just as good?
Do you get any natural tears while crying or cutting onion
Could you do a videos on allergic conjunctivitis or viral conjunctivitis please? I have white stingy eye discharge that forms in my eye everyday and all day. I had this eye problem for years and the pataway extra strengthening helps but only for a short time. I need drops like that but In bigger bottles?
Hi.I wish in future videos you can talk about laser eye surgery and if or how it increases the potential of dryer eye and also if dry eye could be caused by an underlying issue , my doctor said that if my current treatment does not go well, that he'd recommend some sort of analysis (blood analysis I assume) I know you've talked about perhaps diabetes but can you tell us what diseases can cause dry eyes.thank you
I will add if we (dry eyes users) can use contact lenses again.
If u have dry eyes, don't ever go for laser eye surgery from my personal experience

Hey thank you! I appreciate that!
Excited to see the follow up video of your own experience taking omega-3!
I'm not convinced omega-6 is per se inflammatory though. For sure saturated and trans fats are, but it really seems like eating unsaturated fats, including omega-6, in the context of an unprocessed diet is healthy. I think the main issue is not getting enough omega-3, independent of omega-6 intake. But I'd be interested to hear you elaborate on your arguments against omega-6 in another video...
Yes! Omega 6 is pretty interesting. A little more complicated I feel. There is at least one subtype of omega6 which is anti-inflammatory and may be beneficial. Agree on the sat/trans fat as being not the best.
@@DoctorEyeHealth i have dry eyes while wearing contacts to the point where my vission gets affected if i dont blink a lot to humidify the eye. What can i do?
Saturated fat is not inflammatory. It cannot be oxidized, unlike polyunsaturated fats which includes omega 3. My son learned that specifically in his 1st year biochemistry class in medical school. O-6 is not bad per se, the issue is vegetable oil that is refined because it is already oxidized.
@@iss8504 Spot on, this is how one goes about verifying that his/her family physician has been updated or spewing nonsense. Saturated fat is one of the best and healthiest macronutrients from nature.
@@iss8504 exactly! Refined = oxidized and transformed to trans. That why eating sunflower seeds (omega6) is healthy but sunflower oil is pro-inflammatory.
off topic…. if you haven’t already, will you do a video on acupuncture and the pros and cons, effectiveness, etc of it for eye conditions, illnesses, symptoms related to eye conditions, illnesses, etc please? i know it probably won’t be a miracle cure, but i’m interested to know how well it works/helps by itself or when combined with other treatments for eye health.
That would be an interesting thing to research. Perhaps I can find an acupuncturist who knows more about it and do an interview/video on it.
@@DoctorEyeHealth there have been some papers on the use of acupuncture for dry eyes, macular degeneration, etc. might be something interesting and helpful to some.
do you get any natural tears while crying or cutting onions?
Please share brands that you recommend for supplements! I’ve been adding plant source omegas to my diet but I do not eat fish. Would value your recommendations!
Have you tried TESTA ? Its a veg/algae omega 3 supplement. 😊
Can I ask you about MegaRed Superior Omega-3 Krill Oil? I also have MaguHealth Plus. Are these good? I have Sjogrens and horrible dry eyes with burning and redness now that I’ve been told to take eye drops.
Yes. Brands please
Soon!
I read somethings about Omega 3, and looked into Cod Liver Oil. I tried capsules with lemon, which seemed to help until I ran out. Just getting more today. I also looked into sluggish gall bladder, and am looking at whether bile supplement might help...
What about krill oil recommendations?
Thanks doctor
💯💯 Happy to help, as always.
Hi, liquid omega fish oils are great for dry eye and coughs , when I have a nagging cough I bite into omega fish capsule swallow the liquid discard the capsule and it quiets my cough, keeps it at bay :)
Thanks for the tips!
You are awesome!
Have dry eye which I control with tear drops during day but find eyes dry up at night when sleep , get so dry when I wake up can't open eyes comfortably, need to use tear drops to lubricate eye. Any suggestions on what can be used at night . Will try the Omega's too. Thanks for awesome videos 👍
Use tear gels at night
The following may help: good hydration, vit. D3 to reach level of 100mmol/l, omega3 3-4gms/day. If you have systemic inflammation CRP (c reactive protein) >>1 find its cause and address it. Nevertheless, taking curcumin, good brand, 3x a day will help quenching the destructive fire in your body. I know from my own experience.
I'd suggest a thick eye ointment that provides a barrier over your eyes while you sleep so that they don't stick in the morning. I use drops during the day but they are not enough to help at night so I use an ointment. It's fiddly to put in and makes eye sight blurry for a little bit after application but you'll be sleeping so that's fine. I don't wake up with sticking eye lids anymore. I get mine from Amazon as the one my optician suggested is apparently out of stock everywhere (lacri lube) so I had to find an alternative. I live in England. Good luck.
how can someone be so smart and so handsome :(
Please do a review on the new dry eye drops miebo
Thanks very much for this Doctor. I'm 80 yo now and tried fish oil capsules over a year ago but had many hematomas so my PCP suggested that I stop the fish oil capsules. I am on two blood thinners plus more things for cardiac issues [Plavix, Xarelto and Toprol] and would like to restart Omega-3s. Is there a safe way to do this for my eye issues? I have elevated ocular pressures, glaucoma and the start of macular degeneration so all of that complicates things. Thanks for any help you might offer. BTW, the Opti-Mel Manuka eye drops have eliminated the floaters that I suffered with for many years. Gracias!
Oh wow! Great to hear you have found some relief with the Optimel Manuka honey drops, I have not read much about them helping floaters, but either way I am happy to hear it. Omega 3 supplements have been shown in some studies to contribute to bleeding, however, newer research supports that the increased bleeding risk has to do with the TYPE of omega 3 supplements (because of the processing). A tryglyceride form of omega 3 is not supposed to contribute to bleeding risk. But, due to your other systemic issues and risk, best to ask your PCP if they have heard of the Tryglyceride forms of omega 3 vs ethyl ester forms in regards to bleeding risk and if they can confirm it and what they think will be best/safest for you. But most surgeons do not worry about omega 3s before surgery because the bleeding risk of omega 3s has largely been disproven.
@@DoctorEyeHealth Thank you very much Dr. Allen.
When will you tell of the best omega 3 pills that can take? I take them but wondering if there is a better quality kind
Thank you for asking!!! I will be doing more in depth reviews of some of the most notable brands soon. I just wanted this video to be free from brands.
I started taking omega-3, lutein and zeaxanthin supplement about 2 weeks ago, I can feel a difference. Now I only need eye drops 2 - 3 times during the day as opposed to ...every hour.
do you get any natural tears while crying or cutting onions?
do you have a video on recurrent corneal erosion? been suffering with it for awhile :(
A quick story of success! My little rescue dog (maybe about 4 yrs old or so) had suffered abuse and was near death from starvation when we got him 2 yrs ago. He gained weight and was very healthy until one month ago when suddenly he got those cataract blue toned eyes and started declining! It came out of nowhere. He was stumbling and very emotionally down due to abruptly not being his formerly active self. I was so upset, so shocked by this change. I suspect it was poor nutrition over the yrs before we got him and poor breeding. I read a book by Dr Pitcairn a holistic vet who said to put cod liver oil in his eyes along with salt water solution and add cod liver oil in his food. Well you wouldnt believe me if I told you how fantastic these methods have worked to bring our little dog into a state of health again! I am still blown away by the healing power of cod liver oil. Another interesting piece is that he always had issues with appetite - it came and went. Now that we put a teaspoon of cod liver oil in his food, he is so excited about eating. I know that with genetic eye issues these remedies dont alway work and maybe not forever, I am not sure. But what a wonderful turn of events using cod liver oil. I am currently adding it to my own routine to improve my health. Cant say enough about cod liver oil.
I have been told that Omega 7 in addition to Omega 3 is something very helpful. To get away from fish oil Omega 3, has anyone got comments or used MCT Omega 3 for a pure triglyceride?
Coconut oil should be helpful.
Hi. I've been taking one 1040mg (TG) Omega-3 softgel daily and would like to double that. Would you recommend taking 2 softgels with breakfast or splitting it, i.e., one with breakfast and one with dinner? Thanks.
Use 2000 mg ! It is safety, but dont go up to 3-4000, because of blood thinning.
Ground Flaxseeds, flaxseed oil
I did LIPIDVIEW test and I want you to have a look at it and give me your input for further proceeding.please
Hey thanks for asking! Did your doctor already assess it? What did they say?
What brand name you recommend? Dr. Told me to use Refresh Relieva PF (6 times a day) and Refresh Celluvisc but me eyes still red. When I go out, I use Lumify but last me for 4 or 6 hrs. instead of 8.
Can you give me some other ideas? Please....😢😢
Bonjour, est-ce que les omégas 3 réduisent l'inflammation des glandes salivaires ? Merci !
If youre older person, like myself the dry mouth and dry eyes MAY BE related to autoimmune processes in the body ( inflammation) and then the vit. D3 and omega3 are very helpful.
I use flax seed oil.. allergy to fish oil...
I enjoy your videos immensely. You touched upon EPA and DHA, but I was hoping to hear how many MG per day you suggest. Would you let me know about that, please? Thank you in advance.
I think he recommended 2000mg but not more than 3000mg per day
@AJ Riek Thank you, yes, however that was for the amount of Omega 3. I'm looking for EPA and DHA.
Sir please do a video about eye floaters and natural remedy for it.
He already has
Thanks thanks thanks ❤❤❤
