Family Capsules (360)

everyone recommended this brand let's try it.

These are wonderful... great for kids with ADD, great if you have "brain fog" - my kids say their brain works better when they take them each morning, my college student says it clears her thinking. The MOM finds her brain works better as well, so then everyone is happier. Too bad they have to ship from England, but its worth it, we haven't found anything else that works so well.

I have been using Equazen Omega 3/Omega 6 gel capsules every day for around 19 years, I'm now 43. I take a few supplements each day but Omega 3's are the most important, for the eyes, brain, nervous system and skin. You do not have to worry about Omega 9 as long as you eat the UK recommended portions of vegetables every day. When I discovered Equazen's range back in the early 2000s they were the only company that was providing fish oil Omega 3 supplements with added/concentrated fatty acid chains (EPA/DHA/GLA) in the right proportions for a healthy diet. They are certainly the UK/European leader in this field. You would have to eat a huge amount of expensive oily fish to achieve the same results as taking a few of their gel capsules every day. In the crazy times we now live in, overpopulation and pollution have resulted in most oily fish having small concentrations of poisonous heavy metals in them (from our pollution of rivers and oceans). When you eat lots of oily fish, the heavy metals are absorbed by your body and never expelled. They mostly gather in your liver and can cause health complications in later life. Equazen ethically sources their fish oil and filters the heavy metals out. I still occasionally eat salmon as a treat, but I check where it was caught/farmed - the north Atlantic and Scottish coast are safest. After 19 years of taking Equazen Omega 3s/6s, I can honestly say that my skin is less wrinkled and more supple than all of my same-age friends. My nervous system and reaction times are the same, if not better than they were as a teenager. My memory and concentration are also in tip-top shape for my age. I have genetic myopia (extreme short-sightedness), I've had to wear glasses and contacts since the age of 7 and my eyes continue to deteriorate, but the deterioration slowed down massively around 5 years after starting taking Equazen. It's difficult to say if this slow down was natural or affected by Equazen's omega 3 fatty acid chains. I like to think Equazen has helped my eyes too. Equazen has a baby/children range which I also highly recommend: essential to promote eye, brain and nervous system growth. The brain and nervous system stop growth at around 25 years old, but there are still many health benefits to continued usage. I will make sure my children use it their entire lives. There are references to scientific studies on the Equazen website which prove what I am saying here. In terms of taste and dosage. The gel capsules have a thick casing, designed to dissolve once in the stomach. I take them with meals, in the middle of each meal. This way you never taste them and I believe they are better absorbed by your body - I do this with all my supplements. If I take them without food then occasionally I will burp and have a very light, temporary fish oil taste in my mouth, nothing that could make you gag or be sick. If you take them out of the bottle and they get wet, you can still take the capsules immediately. If they are left out of the bottle they will absorb moisture from the air and get soft, but you can still take them. If they get really wet, they will eventually dissolve and make a mess. If I am staying the night with family/friends I put the required capsules in a smaller bottle, or wrap them in a tissue. It doesn't matter what time of day you take them. My personal dosage is: If I haven't taken them for a while, or I was forced to use another brand, I take 6 capsules daily, 3 capsules in 2 different meals. This is the "charging" phase, to build up omega 3 and fatty acid chains in your body. When you start taking omega 3s you always do this, Equazen recommends for 3 months, which I would also recommend if you have never taken omega 3/6 supplements before. After that I take 3 a day in 1 meal, every day. This is slightly different from the 2 a day that Equazen recommends, but it works for me. For teenagers and adults I recommend keeping an eye on the prices and sales of family-size bottles - 180 to 360 capsules. Much better value for money and they keep for years.

Glucosamine + MSM + Chondroitin = a real joint saver :-D Tried and tested for years. Not a shadow of a doubt it works like magic (despite worse and worse lifestyle :-( which, of course, I do not recommend, joint pains just went away... gone... history :)

Excellent value for money, the tub will last me 6 months, and at half the usual price. Tub is sealed and dated December 2022 so bags of use by room. Equazen are excellent quality omega 3, they have higher concentrations of the two key ingredients you should look for (DHA& EPA). Cheaper have larger amounts of fish oil and less actual omega 3. I have certainly noticed an improvement in my concentration levels and feel generally healthier. My son who has ADHD takes the children’s version and the improvement in him is massive. Don’t buy cheap, buy these.

Very pleased with this product. Will continue to purchase as needed. This product is for our children. Other brands have caused a "fishy" body odor. This has not. This product has the ideal balance of EPA & DHA that we were looking for, to give to our son with ADHD.
