maqui berry The treasure of Patagonia
Maqui berry is a native berry that grows in Chile in the vast expanses of Patagonia. This berry has been consumed from ancient times by indigenous people and is by nature extraordinarily rich in many nutrients and powerful flavonoid species known as anthocyanins. A specific category of these flavonoids, known as delphinidins, are responsible for the very dark purple color of the berries as well as for several health benefits.

Efficacy
Schirmers Test: Tear Fluid Secretion
MaquiBright® has shown significant effects on the increase of tear production and the decrease of bothersome ocular discomforts in clinical studies.

mode of Action

In a study performed with cells of the lacrimal gland, it was shown that MaquiBright® was able to penetrate this tissue and suppress inflammatory processes caused by oxidative stress, restoring the normal production of tears.
Dry eyes and natural relief: causes and effective solutions Dry eye symptoms can be a common and bothersome issue for many.
Understanding dry eyes:
Dry eye symptoms occur, for instance, when there is inadequate tear production, or the tear fluid evaporates too quickly. Many factors can lead to typical signs and most of us may have experienced how uncomfortable redness, itching, or light-sensitive eyes can be. But the good thing is: there are several ways to naturally relieve the discomfort of dry eyes.
Natural dry eye care:
- Staying hydrated: Drinking enough water to maintain overall hydration levels, which can help to keep a natural eye moisturization.
- Awareness of environmental factors: Ventilating regularly and avoiding draughts of air, air conditioning, and cigarette smoke, whenever possible.
- Regular blinking: Taking breaks from screen time to blink and keep the eyes moist.
- Healthy lifestyle: Eating foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins A, B, C, and zinc, as well as carotenoids supports ocular health. Sufficient sleep is also beneficial.
- Eye health supplements: Anthocyanin-rich extracts, like maqui berry extract, should be considered as an alternative to artificial tears.
- Lid Hygiene: The eyelids should be clean to prevent blockage of the oil glands. Careful cleaning and massaging with a damp, lukewarm cotton pad can help.
