Dry EyesUpdated a year ago

Dry eyes can indeed be caused by various factors, and nutritional deficiencies, including low levels of Vitamin A, can contribute to this condition. 

It's important to note that while certain nutrients can be beneficial for eye health, it's crucial to address any eye-related concerns with a healthcare professional for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. 

Vitamin A: Essential for maintaining the health of the cornea and is crucial for overall eye health. It helps in the production of tears and the prevention of dry eyes. Foods rich in vitamin A include carrots, sweet potatoes, spinach, and liver.

Zinc: An important mineral that plays a role in maintaining the health of the retina. Black sesame seed oil and pumpkin seed oil, which are high in zinc, may contribute to eye health. Adequate zinc levels are important for preventing age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Zeaxanthin: A carotenoid found in high concentrations in the retina. It, along with lutein, helps protect the eyes from harmful high-energy light waves like ultraviolet rays. This can be found in our Styrian Pumpkin. 

Flaxseed Oil: Omega-3 fatty acids found in flaxseed oil have anti-inflammatory properties that may contribute to eye health. They can potentially alleviate symptoms of dry eyes and reduce the risk of certain eye conditions.

Vitamin E: An antioxidant that may help protect cells in the eyes from damage caused by free radicals. Seabuckthorn, which is high in vitamin E, can be beneficial for eye health.

Phytoplankton: Phytoplankton as a main ingredient in our Oceans Alive contains a variety of nutrients and antioxidants that may contribute to overall health, including eye health. Its anti-aging properties could potentially benefit the eyes.
