New Study Confirms MaquiBright® Offers Relief to Eye Dryness And Eye Fatigue Symptoms

The study sponsored by MNL Group and ANKLAM Extract consisted of 74 participants who have eye dryness, eye fatigue and are exposed to more than four hours of visual display terminals (VDT) at work daily. Test subjects took a 60 mg capsule once a day for four weeks and those who had MaquiBright and not the placebo had alleviated eye dryness and showed promising results to the relief with eye fatigue.

"This study demonstrates benefits of dry eye reduction with participants receiving dosage as a supplement," said Humberto Zuckerman, Vice President Marketing and Sales at MNL Group. "People now have an easier choice to combat dry eye. They can simply take one capsule of MaquiBright a day to complement the usage of eye drops multiple times a day."

The 2013 US National Health and Wellness Survey showed 16.4 million people in the US suffer from dry eyes symptoms (Farrand, Fridman, Ozer Stillman, & Schaumberg, 2017). The global revenues of manufacturers producing dry eye treatment products is expected to grow from $4.6 billion in 2018 to $6.2 billion by 2023 (Downs, 2018).

MaquiBright is the only natural oral alternative treatment for dry eye and fatigue symptoms. "The results of this study solidify the eye health benefits associated with MaquiBright," said Anthony Palmieri, Sr. Director Global Business Development at Charles Bowman and Company. "Companies looking to expand product lines into the eye health category can rest assured the science matches the benefits."
