Equazen® Chews®

Easy and tasty way to support healthy brain development in children.

Equazen® Chews

Is your child’s inquisitive nature starting to blossom? Instead of just physically exploring everything, they are now wondering why things are the way they are. During this stage of their life, it’s important to give their brain the “fuel” it needs to develop. And essential fatty acids (EFA) is a crucial part of this. Adding Equazen provides EFA supplementation that may help provide benefits of increased concentration and improved learning capabilities.

 

At this point, your child may have also graduated from the Equazen toddler-friendly liquid formulation and/or may now prefer chewable capsules that still eliminate the need for swallowing, and might make them feel a bit more grown up.

Equazen Chews contain all the proven ingredients that the Equazen range provide, all in one tasty strawberry bite-size chew (available in clear or red capsules).

Equazen® Chews: Key Ingredients

Omega-3 and Omega-6 are essential fatty acids that are vital for good health. Since your body is unable to produce some of these essential fatty acids, they must be obtained through your diet.3

Equazen is a unique composition with a scientifically proven ratio of EPA:DHA:GLA = 9:3:1, which has been proven to help improve cognitive functions in children who had learning difficulties.2 EPA, DHA, and GLA all play an important role in brain development.4,5
