LACRISEK® capsule is a dietary supplement containing alpha lipoic acid, omega-3 fatty acids and phytoestrogens (Trigonella foenum-grecum).
Lacrisek® capsules helps correct the pathogenetic features of dry eye syndrome. Dry eye syndrome is generated by several factors, which cause inflammation on the eye surface and the lacrimal glands. This inflammation reduces the normal tear-production capacity of the glands, consequently damaging the corneo-conjunctival surface and turning the condition into a chronic situation.
Lacrisek® capsules is a rational association of substances which can be useful in all cases of insufficient tears and related conditions (dry eyes etc).
ALPHA LIPOIC ACID
Lipoic acid, also known as alpha lipoic acid or thioctic acid, is produced by almost all animals and plays a fundamental role in the energetic metabolism of our cells. It is normally ingested with food and can be found in liver, potatoes, yeast, broccoli and spinach.
Lipoic acid plays an important role in our health thanks to its intense antioxidant activity, but its most important characteristic is the fact that it is a co-factor in fundamental enzymatic processes within our cells.
As an antioxidant, it can protect our body by fighting the damage caused by the formation of free radicals and by helping generate other important antioxidants already present in our body, such as vitamins E and C and glutathione.
FISH OIL
Omega-3 fatty acids belong to the group of essential polyunsaturated fatty acids. They are called “essential” because our bodies cannot synthesize them, but they are fundamental for the physiologic growth and activities of organs and tissues. Their presence seems to help reduce tissue reaction and to improve lacrimal function, restoring the homeostasis of the lacrimal film itself.
Omega-3 fatty acids reduce the production of inflammation mediators, such as prostaglandins, therefore improving the irritative symptoms of the dry eye syndrome.
PHYTOESTROGENS
Thanks to its furostanol saponins, fenugreek can be particularly helpful when our bodies are subject to intense changes, such as during menopause or andropause or in particularly stressful or fatiguing periods of our lives.
The fenugreek extract favors lipid production by the meibomian glands, therefore helping retain the water component of the lacrimal film and improving the symptoms of dryness in the mucosae.
