From a pioneering intuition on the benefits of essential fatty acids for the human brain to becoming a global brand trusted by families and healthcare professionals.

SFI Health™ is proud to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Equazen®, a globally recognized, science-based food supplement designed to nourish, enhance, and support the brain’s potential. Since its market debut in 2000, Equazen® has remained committed to innovation and pharma-quality standards, establishing itself as a leading brand in cognitive health supplements.

The story of Equazen® began in 1999 in the UK, inspired by pioneering scientific research into the role of essential fatty acids in cognitive function. Recognising that deficiencies in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids could impact learning and behaviour, researchers developed a unique formulation combining EPA, DHA, and GLA in a 9:3:1 ratio. This formulation, initially launched as Eye Q, laid the foundation for Equazen’s commitment to supporting brain health across all life stages.

The product featured a unique combination of essential fatty acids, setting the foundation for Equazen®’s evolution while aligning with the company’s core philosophy: to harness the power of naturally sourced ingredients and adopt a pharma-quality approach to food supplements.

Since the publication of its first clinical evidence in 2005, Equazen® has been supported by over two decades of clinical trials. As a result, the brand is trusted globally by business partners, families and healthcare professionals to enhance learning capabilities, concentration, and overall cognitive well-being.

At the same time, Equazen® has evolved into multiple pharmaceutical formats and sizes to support the cognitive health of infants, children and teenagers.

One of the latest innovations is Equazen® Jelly, which combines the unique blend of essential fatty acids with a fruity flavor designed to appeal to picky eaters. Additionally, its patent-protected technology ensures the jelly is easy to swallow and promotes better natural absorption.

Matthew Brabazon, GM of SFI Health^TM EMEA, the regional entity of SFI Health^TM, commented: “It’s been an incredible journey watching Equazen® grow over the past 25 years to become a trusted brand globally. Looking ahead, we remain focused on the future and have exciting plans to continue bringing innovation to the market”.

Zbyszek Czop, Managing Director of Qpharma Sp. z o.o., distributor of Equazen® in Poland said: ”Earning the trust of doctors through the positive results of clinical studies on Equazen® is incredibly gratifying. Healthcare professionals now believe that Equazen® can make a meaningful difference for children, particularly those with behavioral disorders.”

Kirsten Jorsal, Founder of Novasel EU, distributor of Equazen® in Denmark added:” Equazen® is a unique fatty acid supplement, distinguished by its balanced blend of polyunsaturated fatty acids, with a notably higher EPA content compared to DHA. Along with its strong clinical documentation, it stands apart from other fish oil supplements. Working with this product for so many years has been both rewarding, and receiving feedback from satisfied families has been truly fulfilling.”

A deep knowledge of consumers’ needs continues to guide the brand and inspires future innovations. The Equazen® range is proudly available in 30 countries across all continents, and the company is dedicated to expanding its reach, ensuring more consumers worldwide can benefit from its offerings.
