What kind of side effects am I likely to experience?
Thousands of satisfied patients have used TheraLife® products effectively without adverse side effects.
Some have reported the following temporary symptoms
-
A coffee-like taste.
-
Yellow-green colored urine - this is due to the beta carotene in the formulas.
-
Gaseous or bloating stomach - This is caused by a pH change in the stomach. Symptom will subside in a few days. Response is normal for diet change or increase intake of vegetables or other nutritional supplements.
-
Feeling thirsty - drink plenty of water to help invigorate your body functions.
-
Increased bowel movement - this is temporary and will subside in a few days. Helps clear out toxins and restore normal organ functions.
-
Slight weight loss - this is due to an increased intracellular metabolism. This condition is temporary.
Why do you use beta-carotene instead of Vitamin A in TheraLife products?
TheraLife® products contain substantial amounts of beta-carotene, is this safe?
Beta-carotene is converted to vitamin A (retinol) by the body. While excessive amounts of vitamin A in supplement form can be toxic, the body will only convert as much vitamin A from beta-carotene as it needs. This feature makes beta-carotene a safe source of vitamin A.
For more information on beta-carotene you can go to the University of Maryland Medical Center web site at:

If I am pregnant, is it safe to use TheraLife® products?
While we do not have evidence of adverse effects on pregnant women, TheraLife® is taking a conservative approach to safety by not recommending usage while pregnant.
If I am taking blood pressure medication, is it safe for me to use TheraLife® Eye?
Yes, some ingredients in the TheraLife® formulas actually help to lower blood pressure and are safe for use with your current medication.
Can children under 10 use TheraLife® products?
Young children have a higher metabolism than adults. TheraLife® is taking a conservative approach to safety by recommending taking TheraLife by children only under the supervision of a physician.
Can teenagers and young adults use TheraLife® products?
Yes.
What is the recommended dosage for TheraLife® Eye?
View the online Dosage instructions.
TheraLife® recommends an initial dosage of 8 capsules per day for the first week of treatment, followed by successive decreases in dosage levels as treatment continues (see Dosage Instructions). This regiment works well for most people with mild to moderate dry eyes, and are generally in good health. For those with severe dry eyes, the initial dosage of 8 capsules per day may have to be extended beyond the first week, especially in patients with auto-immune diseases such as Sjorgren’s Syndrome.
A common question often arises regarding how many capsules should be taken once dry eye symptoms are alleviated or normal tear secretion equilibrium has been established. The maintenance dosage depends on many physiological and environmental factors such as age, medical conditions and medications, exercise, weather, hormonal balance, and others. The typical maintenance dosage for patient’s with mild to moderate dry eye is 2 capsules per day. For more severe dry eye sufferers, 4 capsules per day is more typical. However, the dosage can be adjusted to meet your specific dry eye needs and changes to your physiology and the environment.
Dry eye conditions may flare up or become more severe due to the factors discussed earlier. To help with the discomfort caused by these flare ups, TheraLife® recommends taking additional capsules prior to and during travel on airplanes; active outdoor sports activities, sudden humidity changes especially due to high altitude changes, and seasonal changes. Wearing wrap around sun glasses is highly recommend for outdoor activities to protect your eyes from sun and wind.
In short, you can always take additional capsules of TheraLife® Eye Enhanced whenever dry eye symptoms flare up or when you know that you will encounter conditions that may aggravate your dry eye symptoms. I just had laser eye surgery (commonly know as LASIK) and my eyes are very dry. Can your product help?
LASIK patients have dry eyes for at least 6 weeks and up to 3 months after surgery. Often, only artificial tears are prescribed for dry eye relief. Patients experiencing severe dry eyes may not get adequate relief from eye drops alone. TheraLife® Eye is an oral capsule that provides sustained, extended relief throughout the day. Therefore, our patients report not needing eye drops. Our recommendation for LASIK patients, or any patient undergoing eye surgery, is to begin using TheraLife® Eye Enhanced one week prior to surgery and continue for 3 months after surgery.
Is TheraLife® Eye Enhanced safe for dogs?
Our Phase IIb clinical trials were conducted with humans only. However, some customers have reported success using TheraLife® Eye Enhanced to improve their dog's dry eye condition. In general, dogs have a higher metabolism than humans, and consequently may experience improvement faster. We recommend giving your dog half the recommended human dosage with food.

- Chronic diseases
- Aging
- Post menopausal effects
- Environmental ( wind, bright sunlight, air conditioning, heaters)

My doctor prescribed Restasis for my dry eyes. It's very expensive and causes discomfort. Can I use TheraLife® Eye while using Restasis?
TheraLife® Eye is a long-term dry eye treatment that costs substantially less than Restasis. Our treatment is an oral capsule and does not cause discomfort and adverse side effects. It is safe to use TheraLife® Eye in combination with Restasis.
I have difficulty swallowing large capsules. What do you recommend?
Warm water and swallowing one capsule at a time may help. Drink plenty of water afterwards and throughout the day.
In an extreme situation, you may mix the ingredients directly into a glass of juice or milk by breaking open the capsules and drinking the mixture.
Are samples of TheraLife® products available?
Yes, through our network of clinicians. Please call or email us for more information.
I would like to purchase TheraLife® in wholesale quantities. Is this possible? Please call or email us for more information. (877) 917-1989
Why isn't Restasis working for my dry eyes?
The active agent in Restatsis is cyclosporine – published reports suggest that cyclosporine can reduce cell inflamation. Thus, Restasis is applied in the eye primarily as an anti-inflammatory and may work for some patients whose tear production has been reduced or eliminated due to ocular inflammation. It may require several months of Restasis' treatments before patients feel any significant results. The side effects of Restasis are similar to the symptoms of dry eye themselves – red, sandy gritty feeling, pain and tired eyes. When dry eye symptoms persist for patients on Restasis, it is sometimes difficult to determine whether the drug itself didn’t work, or the patient is simply experiencing the side effects of the Restasis treatment.
Often, ocular inflammation is a result of your dry eye condition and not the root cause. That's why Restasis doesn't work for everyone.
TheraLife® Eye restores your eye's ability to produce its own natural tears. It improves tear secretion intracellularly (inside the tear secretion cells) in order to increase tear flow. TheraLife® Eye works by increasing ocular micro-circulation and Mito-Activation. Improved ocular micro-circulation allows more nutrients and oxygen to be delivered to the eyes and more waste products to be carried out of the eyes. Mito-Activation boosts intracellular metabolism and restores normal cell function. In addition, the TheraLife® Eye formula includes anti-inflammatory agents to reduce irritation and inflammation of the tear glands, eye surface, and eyelids.
