Every stage in life requires fatty acids for essential brain function, and adults are no exception. Optimal mental function is important for any task, and a growing body of research indicates that certain nutritional supplements can enhance performance. eye q mind is a formulation specifically developed for adults that includes a combination of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, B vitamins, zinc and magnesium. Fatty acids: matter for the mind The billions of nerve cells and connections that form the central nervous system depend on the presence of omega-3 and omega-6 long chain fatty acids for the brain to function. In fact up to 30% of the dry weight of the brain consists of these fatty acids. In order of importance, the fatty acids included in the formulation, are: - Omega-3 Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) plays an important role in maintaining and developing certain aspects of brain and eye function, such as moment to moment brain cell signalling. - Omega-6 Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA) contains anti-inflammatory properties and can be converted by the body into Arachidonic Acid, a fatty acid that forms an integral part of nerve endings. - Omega-3 Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) is a structural fatty acid found in the brain and eyes, thus is important for providing ongoing repair. The following nutrients work to ensure the optimum functioning of the nervous system: B Vitamins for a better brain Vitamin B12 and folic acid play a role in the formation of healthy blood, which transports oxygen and facilitates its utilisation through the hemispheres in the brain. Vitamin B6, along with zinc and magnesium, are essential elements for the functioning of the nervous system and are also required for the synthesis of neuro-transmitters, which allow for communication between neurons and cells. Zinc and Vitamin E Zinc and Vitamin E are antioxidants that help protect cells and tissues from free radical damage. Antioxidants are of particular importance in helping to protect nerve cells. Zinc may also help maintain healthy nerve cells because of its role in cell replication. Magnesium for muscles and nerves Magnesium assists muscle and nerve function, and also helps regulate blood glucose levels, important in fuelling the brain throughout the day. Our bodies cannot make these nutrients, and it is therefore important that an adequate intake is maintained in our diets. eye q mind can help ensure dietary intake of these vital nutrients.
We hope both children and parents will find our novel eye q chews particularly appealing. The recipe for eye q chews is based more around what is not in the capsules, rather than what has been included. In keeping with our concern that these days we all have to be very careful what we feed our children, we have managed to deliver these 'nature identical' strawberry-flavoured capsules without including additives such as aspartame, saccharine, or hydrogenated oils. So it may not have the sweet taste provided by such additives, but we hope that responsible parents will be reassured by the ingredient list, which is very short. So all that is in eye q chews are our naturally-sourced omega-3 and omega-6 oils, nature identical strawberry flavour, and some basic ingredients to make the capsule shell chewy. The daily intake (2 capsules) delivers the following amount of fatty acids: • EPA: 186 mg • DHA: 58mg • GLA: 20 mg eye q chews comes in a pot containing 60 or 180 capsules, which can be swallowed whole or chewed. The strawberry flavour helps minimise any fishy smell or taste. Nature identical flavours are manufactured copies of substances that occur naturally. The strawberry flavour used in the oil and the shell of eye q chews is nature identical.
eye q baby delivers the specific omega-3 and omega-6 long chain fatty acids that have been shown to be important for a baby's healthy growth. The formulation is based on research into the role of fatty acids in neuro-development. Up to 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 development is most rapid. 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 components 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. The formulation is similar to the capsules of its parent product, mumomega pregnancy. The difference is in delivery and intake levels. The fatty acids in eye q baby are delivered in simple Twist-Off capsules. All you have to do is twist off the tip, and squeeze the contents into any food or drink.

eye q liquid citrus uses lime and lemon natural flavours from essential oils to mask any fishy flavour of our hi-EPA marine oil within the natural source eye q formula. This child-friendly variant is suited for those who prefer not to swallow capsules
