How does Brain Child work?
Brain Child is a scientifically formulated vitamin and mineral supplement enriched with DHA designed to maximize the nutrition you and your baby need for healthy development.
Brain Child Prenatal contains 200mg of moleculary distilled, pharmaceutical-grade DHA guaranteed to be free of dangerous contaminants such as mecury, heavy metals and PCBs.
Brain Child contains only natural ingredients and is free of artificial colors, flavors, sweetners and preservatives. It contains no soy, gluten,msg, dairy, egg, gelatin or wheat.
Studies have shown that Prenatal Vitamins with DHA like Brain Child produce the following protective effects:
- Reduce Birth Defects like Spina Bifida and Anencephaly by 70-80%
- Reduce the risk of Childhood Cancers such as Neuroblastoma by 47%, Leukemia by 39% and Brain Tumors by 27%
- Reduce the chances of Premature Birth by 50-70%
- Protect Mothers Health from conditions such as Anemia, Pre-Eclampsia and Postpartum Depression
- Cause children to score higher on intelligence tests
- Improve the quality of breast milk
- DHA is the primary structural component of brain tissue and retina of the eye, it is also a key component of the heart
- DHA is important throughout pregnancy, particularly in the third trimester when the majority of brain growth occurs
- Nearly all people do not get enough DHA through diet and that which they do get, usually from eating fish, contains contaminants such as mercury or other heavy metals
- Studies have shown that supplementing DHA in a mother’s diet can improve a child’s eye-hand coordination, motor skills, attention span, intelligence and is even associated with more mature sleep patterns in infants
- DHA has also been shown to reduce the risk of postpartum depression and to increase the length of gestation by an average of 6 days
- Diets lacking DHA are associated with deficiencies such as foetal alcohol syndrome, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, cystic fibrosis, unipolor depression, and aggressive hostility
