Equazen Eye Q Baby - 30 Capsules

Eye q baby delivers the specific omega-3 and omega-6 long chain fatty acids that are important for a baby's healthy growth. The formulation is based on extensive research into the role of fatty acids in neuro- development. About 30% of the dry weight of the brain and eye is made up of long chain fatty acids, the majority being omega-3 DHA, and to a lesser degree omega-6 AA. These nutrients can only be supplied from the diet, and it is particularly important that they are in constant supply during the first two years of a child's life, the time when brain growth is most rapid.

The oils used in eye q baby are of unrivalled purity. The fish source is yellow tuna, harvested from the unpolluted southern oceans. Every batch of oil is tested at independent laboratories for toxins such as dioxins, PCBs and mercury, to ensure full compliance with EU and World Health Organisation regulations. All sources of fatty acids are natural form triglycerides: no synthetic forms of fatty acids are present. The triglyceride form is the most bio-available for the body to absorb, ensuring maximum efficacy. The omega-6 component, virgin evening primrose oil, is extracted with a simple mechanical press similar to that used for virgin olive oil, ensuring minimal contact with heat, light or oxygen. This leaves the oil in its purest natural state, while keeping important elements like anti-oxidants, usually stripped away in refined EPO.

The formulation contains only fatty acids and natural-source antioxidants, and is free from any additives, flavourings or synthetic compounds.

We know that a developing baby will receive fatty acids through its mother's placenta during pregnancy, and that hopefully these nutritional inputs will be maintained during breastfeeding, as fatty acids are key active elements of a mother's breast milk. A young infant’s brain continues growing rapidly until they are approximately two years old, therefore omega-3 DHA and omega-6 AA are still important after breastfeeding has stopped. However when a baby is weaned onto solids it is not always easy or convenient to feed him or her oily fish, for this reason, eye q baby was born.

Equazen started with a very clear mission that has not changed since its inception in April 1999. Our aim has been to create a global brand of omega-3 and omega-6 supplements that would be second-to-none in terms of quality, efficacy and rationale. We believe we have achieved this: our growth is based on the life-affirming nature of our long chain fatty acids.

When you take our oils, you can be confident that you are putting goodness back into your system. Not all oil is equal: as a specialist supplier, we have to ensure ours is of the highest specification.
