[JustineBMumsnet]

We’re looking for 160 Mumsnet users with a child aged 3 or over to test Equazen - a naturally sourced fish oil supplement - with their children.

Here’s what Equazen has to say: “Equazen is a high quality, clinically researched fish oil supplement. A unique and specific formulation of Omega-3 and Omega-6 to support normal brain function*. It’s no secret that living a healthy lifestyle helps us to perform at our best. Essential fatty acids are vital since our body is unable to produce them and so must be obtained through the diet. However, it can be difficult to eat the recommended amount of oily fish a week and so a quality supplement like Equazen can help bridge this nutritional gap.

*DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function. The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 250mg of DHA.”

The supplements are available in three formats: chews, liquid or capsules. More information on each can be found below.

Equazen Chews
Strawberry-flavoured, child-friendly chews that are specially developed to be more appealing to young palates. Suitable for those aged 3 or over. Please note these are not gummy vitamins, they are chewable capsules.

Equazen Liquid
A child-friendly liquid that uses a blend of natural lemon flavours to deliver a scientifically formulated blend of Omega-3 and Omega-6 without the fishy flavour. Suitable for those aged 3 or over.

Equazen Capsules
Tasteless, odourless capsules to help the whole family supplement the amount of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids they get from their diet. Suitable for those aged 5 or over.

Selected testers will need to use the supplement for at least two months and then give their feedback on a thread on Mumsnet as well as completing a short survey.

If you’re interested in taking part, please click here to sign up.

Thanks and good luck!

Insight Terms and Conditions apply

I am not sure if this is the right place to post, but does anyone still get emails from the Mumsnet Insight team? I have not had an email for a few months and wondered if this is unusual?

@Thistly for the product test as a whole we're looking for people to test with a child aged 3 or over. However, one of the products within the range is suitable for those aged 5 or over only. Selected testers will be sent just one of the three variations so if you have a four year old please just select one of the variations that is suitable for their age when applying.

@Flapdoodles unless you've unsubscribed you should still receive emails from us around once a week at least - we'll look into this for you shortly

Signed up, thank you.

Thanks @JustineBMumsnet I have not had an email for a couple of months and have not knowingly unsubscribed.

Thanks! I’ll go ahead. I hadnt realised there was more than one product to test.

Because I hadn’t read the headings. How daft. Sorry.

So excited to try these

Arrived today 😊👍

Chewy tablets arrived today. Thank you

Got mine - thank you!

Received friday thank you!

Thanks. Ours arrived on Saturday

Collected our from the post office today, thank you

Has anyone noticed a rash on their LO's at all, since taking the supplements?

KRAmum I can’t get mine to take them, they are refusing the chewable capsules so can’t help, sorry.

Mine accepts the liquid, although it’s not as tasty as his other vitamins. Thanks for the chance to try this out.

@ KRAmum We’ve has to stop giving to my boys as one got tummy aches from them, one a light rash reaction and the 6 year old had a big reaction to the chewable capsules.

Hi, can I just check whether this product test is going ahead as planned?
Some of the questions I think we were asked include comparing how they are getting on at school after the three months using the fish oil. Obviously that particular question isn’t appropriate any longer.
Is the company still going ahead with the research and what information will they want from us?

It seems to me that drawing any comparisons will be hard work as so much has changed for the children taking part in the trial.

It would be great to get an update, as I think the three months is coming to an end.

Thanks
