A study published in 1994 reported that supplemental GLA lowered triglycerides, increased levels of "good" HDL cholesterol and prolonged the time it takes for blood platelets to clump together- factors which may contribute to cardiovascular health.
Platelets in the blood have a sticky surface which allows them, along with other substances, to form blood clots when bleeding occurs, a process called coagulation. Since platelets are involved in the process of forming clots, the GLA contained in HydroEye could theoretically increase the effects of anti-coagulant and anti-platelet medications such as Coumadin, Plavix or aspirin. If you are taking "blood thinning" medications, your physician can perform a Prothrombin time, INR, or bleeding time test to measure how long it takes blood to clot. This will ensure that HydroEye can safely be added to your current drug regimen.
HydroEye provides the same omega-3s as flaxseed and fish oil. HydroEye now features EPA and DHA from highest-quality, USP verified fish oil. However, only HydroEye provides GLA (gamma linolenic acid). GLA effectively promotes the body's production of anti-inflammatory compounds. Both GLA and the omega-3 from fish oils have anti-inflammatory actions, but only GLA has been clinically shown to decrease dry eye symptoms.
Additionally, neither fish nor flaxseed oils contain other important nutrients that are included in HydroEye: vitamin B6 and magnesium to promote fatty acid metabolism, vitamin A to support the production of mucin in the tear film, and the antioxidant vitamin C to help fight the free radicals associated with inflammation.
Research suggests that the EE (Ethyl Ester) and TG (triglyceride) forms of omega fatty acids from fish oil are absorbed about the same when taken over several weeks or more. While some research measuring absorption over just a single day or less found the TG form to be better absorbed, differences disappear in studies that compared these forms over two weeks or more. SBH products contain the EE form, as the EE form has been used in nearly every clinical trial showing benefit for omega-3s from fish oil and is the choice for the National Eye Institutes AREDS 2 trial now in progress.

How Does HydroEye Compare to other dry eye products?
HydroEye has a long, successful track record providing dry eye relief to tens of thousands of users and is one of the leading dry eye products recommended by ophthalmologists and optometrists.
HydroEye's unique, patented formulation features a balanced blend of omega fatty acids, which have been well established to provide support for dry eyes as well as other health benefits. GLA, a key omega fat in HydroEye, has been well studied and safely used for over 20 years. GLA has gained attention in recent years for it's role in dampening inflammation, an underlying cause of dry eye. Read about studies on GLA for dry eyes . HydroEye also contains omega-3 EPA and DHA from the highest quality, USP-verified fish oil. EPA and DHA provide additional anti-inflammatory support as well as benefits for macular and heart health. HydroEye has also been found to raise levels of lactoferrin in LASIK patients. Read summary of study. Additionally, HydroEye provides antioxidants and other key nutrients that support all 3 layers of the tear film.
