Product Description

Product description

We understand the importance of consuming enough essential fatty acids to maintain a healthy mind and body, especially during the first two years of life when the brain develops most rapidly.

A developing baby receives essential fatty acids through the mother’s placenta during pregnancy and, if breastfed, during breastfeeding or through infant formula. After this stage, the growing baby must obtain these essential fatty acids through their own diet.

To support this, we specifically formulated Equazen® Baby to provide omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids for babies aged 6 months to 3 years*. Equazen® Baby twist caps offer a proactive way to provide EFA supplementation, supporting healthy brain and eye function development.

Equazen® proudly supports Friend of the Sea (FOS), a project by the World Sustainability Organization that promotes environmental conservation. Friend of the Sea has become the leading certification standard for products and services that respect and protect the marine environment.

Equazen® Baby: 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.4 Equazen contains proven ingredients to help support the development of cognitive functions in babies. EPA, DHA and GLA all play an important role in brain development.2
