Omega-3 fish oils are available to consumers in two forms: 1) Natural Triglyceride form; or 2) Ethyl Ester form. Studies have shown that the natural triglyceride form is much better absorbed compared to the ethyl ester form found in most fish oil supplements. Because essential fatty acids in triglyceride supplements are absorbed well during metabolism, overall levels of EPA and DHA in cosumers of triglyceride-based fish oils far surpass those in people who choose ethyl esters. All fish are in the natural triglyceride form. There are NO ethyl ester fish in nature. Triglyceride fish oils have been eaten safely and with great benefit for thousands of years, while ethyl esters have been in the human food chain for only approximately 20 years.

Medical research suggests that the GLA supplement produces a noticeable improvement in many patients with dry eye or blepharitis accompanied by evaporative dry eye.

An added benefit is that flaxseed oil has fewer side effects than doxycycline, making it a good alternative.
