Equazen Eye Q-fish Oil Vitamins

[fed up kate]

Hi All

Just wondering if anyone has tried these or if anyone thinks they are good or not so good.

got them today from boots and i was like oooo yay a chewable capsule because i cant not swallow the huge fish oil capsules so ive been piercing them and sqeezing them out which is a pain and not very safe with a sharpe knife lol.

but i never know what the right vitamins to take or how much you should be having each day but these seem good as you take 6 a day for 12 weeks to build it up in your body then take 2 day but if anyone as any views that be great.

thank you

Hi Kate

There was a bit of controversy about these pills.

Durham Council gave them to children, claiming that their behaviour and academic achievements would be enhanced - just look at the video on this link. (It's the one with the 4th symbol....)

I would stick to cod liver oil or flaxseed pills - better still to eat oily fish if you can.

Hi again Kate

They wouldn't do you any harm but you can see that clever marketing is behind a lot of branding - the expensive stuff isn't necessarily the best.

Try Holland & Barrett or any of the health food shops; I often buy my stuff from a man with a market stall - I buy Nature's Aid but there are plenty of other brands. I've got a bottle of `Omega Oil with lemon zest' from Holland & Barrett - the lemon takes away some of the oily taste. Expensive though. You can get it online from here:

hi irish eyes

ive been looking into that one today. see they sell on it here but was seeing where sells it in the UK.
does seem really good well i pay about that much for fish oil capsules from holland and barratt and by time ive tried squeezing all the oil out which takes ages and probabaly dont get it all out so mite give that one ago.

thanks for your help
