Should I choose Efalex Brain Formula Liquid or Capsules?Updated 20 hours ago
Both Efalex Brain Formula Liquid and Capsules contain Efamol's carefully developed combination of DHA-rich fish oil and GLA-rich Evening Primrose Oil.
The main differences are the format, recommended age and daily serving.

Why might I choose Efalex Liquid?
Our Efalex Brain Formula Liquid is a great option for younger children or anyone who prefers not to swallow capsules.
It has a natural lemon and lime flavour and can be taken directly or mixed into suitable foods.
Why might I choose Efalex Capsules?
Our Efalex Brain Formula Capsules are a convenient choice for older children and adults who prefer a simple capsule format.
There's no need to measure a liquid serving, making them easy to incorporate into your daily routine.
Do both provide the same benefits?
Both formats provide DHA, which contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and vision.*
They also contain Evening Primrose Oil, providing GLA, an omega-6 fatty acid involved in normal fatty acid metabolism.
The formulations and quantities of individual fatty acids aren't necessarily identical, but both follow Efamol's approach of combining omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.
Which should I choose for my child?
If your child is aged 3–4 years, Efalex Liquid is the age-appropriate option.
For children aged 5 years and over, you can choose whichever format best suits their preferences.
If your child is younger than 3, you may wish to explore our Efamol Kids Omega-3 DHA Drops, which are designed for children from 6 months of age.
If you're still unsure which product to choose, our friendly Customer Service team is happy to help at [email protected].
The beneficial effect of DHA on the maintenance of normal brain function and vision is obtained with a daily intake of 250mg DHA.
