Eye q

Few people are unconcerned about eye and brain function. We all want our eyesight and mental performance to be at their best. That's why Equazen have brought you eye q™. Quite simply, this supplement can help ensure that your eye and brain get important nutrients for maintaining healthy function. This is not an empty claim. It's basic science. Because we at Equazen created eye q™ to reflect the latest innovations in the rapidly moving field of phospholipid metabolism in the eye and brain.

However, even a well-planned diet - with plenty of fish, nuts and leafy vegetables - cannot always guarantee the most useful combination of important fatty acids. Several studies have also revealed that some children, teenagers and adults have a reduced ability to convert the fatty acids required for the eye and brain to perform efficiently. As a result, they may find everyday tasks daunting, and even demonstrate unruly or disruptive behaviour. So a supplement can sometimes be of value to ensure optimum fatty acid levels.

What is eye q™?

Eye q™ is a unique blend of highgrade marine fish oil and evening primrose oil that contains the following members of the omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acid families:

- Eicosapentaenoic Acid, which is vital for daily brain function, and particularly important in controlling mood.
- Docosahaxaenoic Acid, which is a key building block of all nerves, cells and eye membranes.
- Gamma Linolenic Acid, which is converted to Arachidonic Acid within the body. Both are important for normal nerve function, especially for learning and memory.

In addition, Vitamin E is included as an antioxidant that protects the body's cells from possible damage caused by excess free radicals.

So how is eye q™ different from other fish oils?

With latest research showing that EPA is more active than DHA for daily brain function, we realised that we had to create a supplement that would boost the amount of EPA. Equazen achieved this with eye q™, which is different from other nutritional supplements because of its high ratio of EPA to DHA. Other marine fish oils on the market typically have a ratio of 3 parts EPA to 2 parts DHA. However, DHA does not play the same role in brain function as EPA, and in some circumstances, DHA may partly interfere with action of EPA. eye q™ gets around this by usign a high-grade oil derived from the oceans of the southern hemisphere. Its unique feature is a ratio of almost 4 parts EPA to 1 part DHA. Latest research shows that this ratio may be more applicable, allowing the EPA to work without interference, while still providing sufficient DHA to help maintain brain structure. Once your intake levels are established, you only need to take two capsules of eye q™ each day to have an adequate intake of these important fatty acids.

Why is evening primrose oil included?

To provide an adequate amount of GLA, we use Evening Primrose Oil. EPA and DHA are Omega 3 oils, while GLA and its metabolite Arachidonic Acid, are categorised as Omega 6. Research has shown that combining the right blend of Omega 3 and Omega 6 oils has a synergistic effect - the combined benefits are greater than those of the oils indivitually.

Will I be taking a drug?

eye q™ is not a drug. It is an exceptional nutritional supplement. eye q™ may be taken in conjunction with prescribed medicines, but it should not be seen as a replacement. It is a means to help your body return to its natural equilibrium. However, if you have any doubts, speak to your doctor.

So what results will I get?

Clinical studies have shown that the ingredients in eye q™ may assist people, especially children, in addressing nutritional deficiencies in those fatty acids which are important in helping maintain healthy eye and brain function.

Research has demonstated that certain fatty acids play an important role in the development of the eye and brain - specifically vision, co-ordination, learning ability, memory and concentration.

Are there any other additives?

eye q™ is allegen free, and contains none of the following: egg, sugar, salt, nuts, yeast, corn, milk, derivatives, artificial colouring, artificial flavouring or preservatives. Jewish and Moslem consumers need not to be worried about the presence of any porcine elements. The gelatin that we use for all our capsules is specially approved as being halal and kosher.

Why is there such a high initial intake of eye q™?

When first taking eye q™ Equazen recommends taking 6 capsules per day. This is because research has shown that it takes about 12 weeks to replenish your body's stores of essential fatty acids and that the benefits to the body are directly related to the capsules taken. Your body should feel the benefits over the weeks and months as it returns to its natural nutritional balance. You can then reduce the intake to suit your particular needs. The recommended intake of eye q™ is just two capsules a day but some people may find it helpful to take 4 or more capsules at certain times in their lives. These intakes are suitable for both adults and children of all ages, as children have a higher rate of metabolism. However, children under five may want to start on a lower dose and build up gratually.

Are there any side effects?

When some people first take eye q™, loose stools can very occasionally occur. Reducing the intake and taking the capsules after meals should resolve this.

How much children take eye q™ ?

eye q™ is a food supplement, not a medicine. Children can take the same amount as adults because they have a higher rate of metabolism. The micro and liquid formats have been specially created to make it a lot easier for youngsters to take our oils.
