Item # NNPO120

Description:

Dry Eye Vitamins
From Nordic Naturals®
with Lemon Flavor
(120 Soft Gels)

ProOmega® Soft Gels:

(1) Help prevent fish burp--common to many lower grade fish oils.
(2) Improve compliance by removing the fish taste.
(3) Nordic Naturals® is sold only in doctors offices, health food stores, or on the internet.

Studies have shown improvement in quality of tears with Omega 3 in their natural triglyceride molecule--not as an ethyl ester fatty acid found in many lower quality (cheaper) Omega 3 supplements. Your patient will blame you, not their cheap Omega 3 when they still have dry eyes.

Save chair time by making sure your patients receive a quality product!


A 2003 study found only 22% of the OTC vitamins tested met standards. In fact, most contained only 20% of the active ingredient on label.

Suggested Retail: $26.95 (60 soft gels)
                             $48.95 (120 soft gels)

With purchase of these vitamins, we will also send patient pamphlets.

Fish oil quality standards do not exist on products sold in the US. Nordic Naturals® exceeds the highest standards in the world--the Norwegian Medicinal Standards concerning levels of PCB, mercury, dioxins, & lead. They also exceed freshness standards. 3rd party lot testing is required.
