A smart formula, built with purpose.
Equazen® is a unique fatty-acid formula designed to help support the nutritional balance that many modern diets don’t consistently provide, particularly the essential fatty acids important for the brain.
Equazen provides a specific combination of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in a carefully researched ratio, designed to support this balance.
Unique 9:3:1 Formula
Equazen combines omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) with the omega-6 fatty acid GLA in a specific 9:3:1 ratio. This scientifically researched balance reflects how essential fatty acids work together as a system rather than individually.
By combining EPA, DHA and GLA, Equazen supports overall fatty-acid balance in the diet. The formulation has been investigated in more than 15 studies* over the past 20 years, exploring its role in learning, behaviour and attention.
Simple, clean composition
Equazen focuses on purity and simplicity.
It contains:
- no artificial colours or flavours
- no preservatives
- no microelements
The formula is gluten-free and includes natural vitamin E (D-alpha-tocopherol) as an antioxidant.
Carefully sourced ingredients
Equazen is made from oils derived from small fatty fish such as anchovy, sardine and mackerel, combined with plant-based oils such as evening primrose.
These ingredients provide high-quality omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in their natural triglyceride form, with a strong focus on purity and consistent quality.

Produced under strict quality systems
Every batch tested for freshness and oxidation, with TOTOX values typically between 5–10 (industry guideline: ≤26). Quality system include GMP and HACCP.
How the 9:3:1 balance supports the brain
EQUAZEN® has been investigated in international clinical trials.
In these trials the EPA:DHA:GLA 9:3:1 formulation was administered to children and adolescents with:
- low ability to concentrate
- delayed speech development
- delayed development of reading and writing
- behavioral abnormalities (including hyperactivity, impulsivity, aggression).
* DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function. The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 250mg DHA.
