Richmond, TX (February 10, 2006) - CYNACON/OCuSOFT® announces availability of Tears Again® HYDRATE™ NEW easy-to-swallow soft gels. Tears Again® HYDRATE contains: an omega-3 essential fatty acid, flaxseed oil, an omega-6 essential fatty acid, evening primrose oil, and bilberry extract—microencapsulated in a proprietary liposome process. This patent-pending formulation improves absorption and provides longer lasting relief that may also lead to improved tolerability of these oils in the digestive tract.

Recent reports suggest that omega-3 and omega-6 supplementation provide anti-inflammatory properties-a component in Dry Eye Syndrome. Cynthia Barratt, President, states, “Hardly a day goes by without hearing some of the benefits of essential fatty acid (EFA) supplementation. This is due to the fact that the body does not produce EFAs, so they must be supplemented through diet. Tears Again® HYDRATE™ contains omega-3 and omega-6 EFAs providing the proper balance needed for relief of dry eyes. Also, with the new liposome process, absorption should improve, leading to longer lasting relief.” Tears Again® HYDRATE™ is only available through doctors’ offices.
