Overview

The supplement provides a good dose of total Omega-3s, specifically EPA and DHA, which are beneficial for overall health and have some documented anti-inflammatory properties relevant to eye health. However, the doses of Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA) and Curcuminoids are on the lower end for standalone efficacy, suggesting they might act synergistically within the blend rather than providing significant individual impact. The 'Premier Triglyceride (TG) fatty acids' blend is not fully transparent, making it hard to assess the exact contribution of all fatty acids. While the ingredients generally support the stated benefits, the overall effectiveness for strengthening healthy tears relies on the synergy of the ingredients and may be moderate due to some underdosed components.

The Good

Provides beneficial Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) from a quality source (AlaskOmega).

Omega-3s delivered in a triglyceride form, potentially enhancing bioavailability.

Offers anti-inflammatory support from Omega-3s and Curcuminoids.

The Bad

Low dosage of Curcuminoids (50 mg) for significant anti-inflammatory effects, especially without a bio-enhancer like piperine mentioned.

Low dosage of Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA) (18 mg) compared to therapeutic doses for specific conditions.

Phytosterol Esters (250 mg) are significantly underdosed for their primary use in cholesterol reduction; their direct efficacy for tear film stability at this dose is unproven.
