eye q liquid 200ml

Getting children to take fatty acids, especially fish oil, can be problematic. Often, the production methods used to disguise the fishy taste can damage the delicate fatty acids, and involve using synthetic additives that may not be best for those with dietary sensitivities. When we formulated our two eye q liquid variants, we decided on high grade natural sourced oils.

Firstly, our hi-EPA marine lipid used across the eye q range has been processed to remove much of the fishy taste and odour. The oil is put into a near vacuum and blasted with steam at a pressure of about 20 atmospheres. This process washes out any volatiles and minimises any 'fishy' taste. You can see more about this in our Equazen Process section, but the important thing is that we end up with a pleasant tasting fish oil.

We then combine the fish oil with our virgin EPO, which is certified as being free of any chemicals or additives, with a hi-oleic sunflower oil. This stabilises the long chain fatty acids, which if unprotected, have a tendency to oxidise.

Perhaps the most important stage is the flavouring: or more precisely, making sure we use the right ones.

The vanilla flavour should find favour with the most discerning of young palates. We use non-solvent CO₂ to extract our vanilla essence from Madagascan vanilla beans. We then employ the latest flavouring technology developed for the luxury ice cream industry. The vanilla essence is mixed with vegetable oil extracts that actually help to trigger the sensation of sweetness on the taste buds. This gives the oil a creamy sugary taste, but it is sugar-free! For our citrus flavour we use a blend of natural lemon flavours.

Both variants of eye q liquid come in high quality Food and Drug Administration-approved aluminium flasks, developed in Switzerland for the pharmaceutical industry. Light, durable and superior to glass, this material has for years been the industry standard for transporting oils. The interior is coated with a food-grade lacquer, ensuring that at no stage does the oil contact the container.

The intake of eye q liquid is based on our 500-mg capsules. One 5-ml teaspoon will give you the same amount of active elements as in two 500-mg capsules of eye q. The initial intake of eye q liquid equates to 3 teaspoons for the first 12 weeks, afterwhich a maintenance dose of 1 teaspoon per day is recommended.

Once opened, refrigerate and consume within three months. Chilled oil may look cloudy.
