HOW MAQUI BERRYHELPS RELIEVE DRY EYES
“Bilberry is the prosecco of berries, and Maqui Berries the champagne. The higher concentration of anthocyanins makes maqui berry superior to bilberry - providing greater benefit to your eyes.”
How Maqui Berry benefits your eyes
Our Eye Vitamins contain Maqui berry - a native berry that grows in the wild forests of Patagonia in Chile and Argentina (often referred to as a 'super fruit'). This berry has been consumed since ancient times by indigenous people. It is naturally extraordinarily rich in nutrients and powerful flavonoid species known as anthocyanins.
Maqui berry is hugely beneficial for treating dry eyes. The berry contains high levels of anthocyanins and polyphenols, powerful antioxidants that can help reduce inflammation and increase tear production. Additionally, maqui berry contains omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial in restoring the tear film and reducing inflammation in the eyes.
Maqui Berries better than Bilberries for eyes
Maqui berries have a higher concentration of beneficial compounds, including anthocyanins, polyphenols, and omega oils, making them a better option for treating dry eyes than bilberries.
Polyphenols are powerful antioxidants that neutralise free radicals. Anthocyanins reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and support healthy eyesight. At the same time, omega oils help healthy cell membranes and reduce inflammation throughout the body.
Maqui Berries better than Bilberries for eyes (Cont.)
Maqui berries contain a higher concentration of omega oils than bilberries.Omega oils are essential fatty acids critical for overall health and well-being. They support healthy cell membranes, improve brain function, and reduce inflammation.
Maqui berries also contain a unique compound called delphinidin that may benefit your eye health. In published studies, researchers found that delphinidin improved the function of cells lining the blood vessels in the eyes, reducing inflammation and improving circulation. This may benefit eye diseases such as macular degeneration and cataracts, which are associated with inflammation and poor eye circulation.
“Dry Eyes can affect anyone, but it is more prevalent in women and people over 50. Up to 1/3 of people aged over 65 years have it, with approximately 20% having a severe form of it.”
Health Benefits of Anthocyanins, Polyphenols & Omega Oils
- Anthocyanins are natural pigments that give fruits and vegetables their deep red, purple, and blue colours. These pigments have been shown to have various health benefits, including reducing inflammation, improving circulation, and supporting healthy eyesight. Both bilberries and maqui berries are rich in anthocyanins, but maqui berries contain significantly more of these beneficial compounds.
- Polyphenols are another type of plant compound that has been shown to have a wide range of health benefits. They are potent antioxidants that help to neutralise free radicals in the body, protecting cells from damage and reducing the risk of chronic diseases. Both bilberries and maqui berries contain polyphenols, but once again, maqui berries contain more of these compounds.
- Omega oils are essential fatty acids critical for overall health and well-being. They support healthy cell membranes, improve brain function, and reduce inflammation. While bilberries and maqui berries contain some omega oils, maqui berries contain a higher concentration of these beneficial fats.
How our Maqui Berry helps Dry Eyes
Redness, stinging and itchy eyes. Also, foreign body sensations - when you feel like there's something in your eyes. Sensitivity to light and blurred vision.
The older you are (typically over the gage of 55), the more likely you are to produce a less tears. We also see a higher incidence of this in women over men. Other factors that contribute include the intensive use of digital screens, constant and long periods of wearing contact lenses. Environmental factors such as cigarette smoke, air conditioning and pollution. Certain medications and laser surgery can also increase.
Studies showed an increase of 89 % in tear fluid production after 4 weeks. A Dry Eye-Related Quality-of-Life Score questionnaire (DEQS) could demonstrate that participants (N=74) using our Maqui berry extract reported a significant reduction (57%, to be precise) in bothersome eye-related discomfort after 4 weeks use.
“We've chosen the best combination of vitamins and nutrients, based on the latest research, to help keep your eyes healthy.”
