Why We Choose Physician Recommended Nutraceuticals
PRN omega-3 fish oils are in the re-triglyceride form which the body is able to absorb by 100 percent, thereby reducing inflammation. Every single batch is tested for contaminants so we are assured you are not ingesting anything that can harm you like PCBs or mercury. We like the fact that it is not only improving your eye health but helping the body as a whole by reducing cholesterol and decreasing inflammation in the blood vessels, joints, brain and skin. We feel it is the best omega-3 product on the market today to benefit our patients.
Dry eye symptoms are caused by a chronic lack of sufficient lubrication and moisture on the surface of the eye. This lack of lubrication can cause persistent dryness, scratching and burning in eyes or a “foreign body sensation” that feels as if there is something in the eye.
Tear quality is essential for good eye health. Poor tear quality can cause a wide range of symptoms from eye pain to impaired vision and a compromised quality of life. Improving the omega-3-lipid component of the tear leads to better tear composition and better lubrication for the eye.
A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition analyzed data from an ongoing women’s health study. Women who ate a daily intake of omega-3s EPA and DHA in a natural triglyceride form reduced the risk of dry eye syndrome by up to 66 percent.
Choosing to take an omega-3 supplement will provide your body the necessary nutrients for optimal tear composition and overall eye health. Choosing the right omega-3 is just as important. Omega-3’s, rich in EPA and DHA in their natural triglyceride form, will enhance your therapeutic outcome. PRN Physician Recommended Nutriceuticals® provides the purest, most therapeutically potent omega-3 based nutriceuticals possible. All of PRN’s omega-3 based products, when taken as recommended, deliver a therapeutic amount of omega-3 EPA and DHA as recommended by the American Heart Association.

Improving Macular Health
Macular degeneration is a major cause of blindness in the United States. Approximately 10 million Americans age 40 and older have some form of vision loss associated with macular degeneration.
Daily supplementation of omega-3 EPA and DHA in a natural triglyceride form (the same form as fish) may arrest the advancement of and prevent the occurrence of macular degeneration. A meta-analysis from 2008 reviewed results encompassing 90,000 participants. This investigation confirmed that eating a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA could significantly improve macular health.
The National Eye Institute also reports in their Age Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS1) that daily supplementation of specific vitamins and carotenoids can help reduce the risk of developing early stages of macular degeneration.
Choosing to take a Macular Benefit Package will provide your body the necessary nutrients for optimal eye health. PRN’s omega-3’s rich in EPA and DHA, in their natural triglyceride form, combined with our evidence based eye vitamin was designed to provide a therapeutic outcome specifically targeting improved macular health.
Macular Benefits Vitamin
- Supports macular health
- Preserves eyesight of clinical populations at risk
Many studies have shown that beta-carotene and Vitamin A, two carotenoids typically found in macular vitamin products, are either of little value or result in decreased macular health in some clinical groups. PRN has scientifically formulated Macular Vitamin Benefit by removing these ingredients, at the same time maintaining the evidence based components of the Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS) formula. This formula incorporates the natural form of Vitamin E as well as B-complex vitamins (B6, B9, B12) shown in recent studies to reduce the risk of developing early stages of Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD).
Eye Omega Advantage
- Protect your eyes and support your vision
- Contains Lutein and Zeaxanthin
Carotenoids — lutein and zeaxanthin — help protect the macular region of the eye from harmful forms of light that can cause photoxidative damage to the eyes, which could result in macular degeneration. Eye Omega Advantage® is custom formulated with a synergistic blend of these critical eye nutrients with the highly beneficial Omega-3 essential fatty acids, EPA and DHA, as well as Vitamin D3 for additional comprehensive health benefits. The combination of these nutrients helps in the transportation to and absorption of the lutein and zeaxanthin by the macula, supporting healthy vision and optimal eye health.
