Why is Efalex Brain Formula Liquid recommended for children aged 3 years and over?Updated a day ago

Efalex Brain Formula Liquid is suitable for children aged 3 years and over, as this is the age group the product has been specifically formulated and assessed for.

Why isn't it recommended for children under 3?

Some of the natural oils in Efalex Brain Formula, including Evening Primrose Oil and thyme oil, have limited published safety research relating to their use in children under 3 years old.

For this reason, we take a cautious approach and recommend following the age guidance on the product packaging.

Does this mean the ingredients are unsafe for younger children?

Not necessarily. The age recommendation reflects the limited evidence available for use in younger children, rather than a specific known safety concern.

What can I give my child if they're under 3?

If you're looking for omega-3 nutritional support for a younger child, we recommend choosing a product specifically formulated for their age group.

Our Efamol Kids Omega-3 DHA Drops are an alternative worth exploring, subject to the age guidance on their packaging.

If you're unsure which supplement is suitable for your child, we recommend speaking to your GP, pharmacist or healthcare professional.
