Supports early concentration and healthy brain development in children (>3 years of age) 1-4
Toddlers are full of life and curiosity. As they are growing and developing, so are their brains. During this crucial time of brain development it’s important to ensure they are getting all the essential nutrients—including essential fatty acids (EFA). Adding Equazen to your toddler’s diet provides EFA supplementation that may give them the support they may need to help increase concentration and help improve learning capabilities. Equazen even comes in a toddler-friendly liquid formulation in two tasty flavours, vanilla and citrus, so it’s easy to pick one your child will prefer!
Equazen Liquid contains all the EFA ingredients that have been proven to support children 3+ years and older with learning and behavioural concerns. Equazen Liquid has the same key ingredients as the Equazen range.
By helping increase attention span and focus
Such as reading, writing and drawing
By providing necessary essential fatty acids support for brain development
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.1
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. EPA, DHA and GLA all play an important role in brain development.2
Food for thought: Did you know that all the support of Equazen capsules come in an easy to swallow Equazen liquid formula for your children?
