HelloPharmacist Scorecard of ProDHA Eye 360 EPA/845 DHA by Nordic Naturals

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 5 of its 5 active ingredients.
  • “Total Omega-3 Fatty Acids” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (1,460 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

ProDHA Eye 360 contains five active ingredients: eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid (two types of omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil), zeaxanthin and FloraGlo Lutein (plant pigments concentrated in the eye), and a blend of other omega-3s. The product also contains inactive ingredients including purified deep sea fish oil, soft gel capsule material, beeswax, vitamin E (D-alpha tocopherol), and rosemary extract.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Eye health and macular vision support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), Asthenopia (eye strain), Cataracts, Diabetic retinopathy, Dry eye, Myopia — and 4 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Lutein is rated "Possibly Effective" for Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Lutein is rated "Possibly Effective" for Cataracts.
  • Also on file: Zeaxanthin is rated "Possibly Effective" for Age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Zeaxanthin is rated possibly effective for age-related macular degeneration (AMD); evidence for cognitive decline, Alzheimer's disease, asthma, breast cancer, and bronchopulmonary dysplasia is insufficient to rate. Lutein is rated possibly effective for AMD and cataracts, but possibly ineffective for retinitis pigmentosa, necrotizing enterocolitis, retinopathy of prematurity, and bronchopulmonary dysplasia.

The effectiveness of the omega-3 fatty acids in this product is not established in the data we hold.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Zeaxanthin Lutein

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Zeaxanthin and lutein are both rated likely safe in pregnancy and lactation. However, while dietary amounts from food are fine, supplement safety in pregnancy and breastfeeding is not well studied — use caution and talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether concentrated supplements are right for you.

Lutein at doses up to 20 mg daily has not resulted in adverse effects, and both ingredients are generally well tolerated at typical supplement amounts.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Zeaxanthin Lutein

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Zeaxanthin.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 86 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Check your antidiabetes medications before taking this product — zeaxanthin may theoretically increase your risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). For all other medications, no interactions are documented in our data for the ingredients we could check.

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, taking zeaxanthin with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
In an animal diabetic model, zeaxanthin has hypoglycemic effects. However, population research has found that increasing intake of dietary zeaxanthin plus lutein does not decrease the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
