Medical food to support learning, concentration, and brain development in children/adolescents with ADHD determined by medical evaluation to require nutritional management of PUFA deficiencies that cannot be achieved by modification of normal diet alone
Bringing ADHD into Focus: The ADHD Omega Fatty Acid Connection
EQUAZEN® PRO is a medical food designed to address differences in omega fatty acid metabolism in children and adolescents with ADHD—in the clinically tested ratio EPA:DHA:GLA=9:3:1—to promote balanced omega fatty acid levels.
Clinically shown to improve:
Learning - Helps improve learning capabilities such as reading, writing, spelling, drawing and language skills.
Concentration/Focus - Helps improve attention and concentration by increasing attention span and focus.
Brain health/development - Supports the brain and nervous system by providing essential fatty acids.
ADHD is associated with impaired omega fatty acid balance. Many children with ADHD often have a substantial deficiency of essential fatty acids, as well as a marked omega-3/omega-6 ratio imbalance. These deficiencies are linked to genetic differences in fatty acid metabolism in these individuals. This is important because, omega fatty acid deficiencies are thought to negatively affect key brain functions and inflammatory pathways in the brain.
