DHA and Brain Development - What’s the Connection?

The early years of a child are among the most important years when it comes to developing crucial skills and abilities. In fact, cognitive function and critical language development peaks from the age of 3 years old. That’s why it’s important to ensure during these early years that your child has all the right nutrition to grow strong and smart.

One crucial nutrient at this age is DHA. DHA is the main component of brain tissue, so it is indispensable for the optimal function of the brain and eyes. During the peak developmental years in young children, the brain grows very rapidly, so it is important to ensure enough DHA is provided, so that your child can have better mental processing and psychomotor development.
