Why Brain Nutrition is Critical
As parents, we’re used to obsessing over calcium and protein for healthy bones and bodies, but feeding our kids’ brains is just as important.
3 key nutrients that power up the brain are:
Omega-3 DHA / EPA
Essential building blocks of brain cells that ensures normal development. DHA makes up 15% of a child’s brain.

Omega-3 ALA

The Brain Nutrition Gap
Before
On average kids only get 20% of their daily Omega-3 needs
After
With Brainiac® Kids products, kids can get as much as 90%+ of the recommended daily intake of Omega-3s
Closing the Gap with The BrainPack®
The BrainPack® is our proprietary blend of Omega-3s including DHA, EPA, ALA and Choline, created specifically to close the brain nutrition gap.
One 4oz serving of yogurt or 3.2oz applesauce pouch provides as much:
Omega-3 DHA
as 1 oz of salmon
+
Choline
as 2 cups of broccoli
+(plus other critical brain fueling nutrients)
We brought together the best brains to build the BrainPack®
When we started Brainiac® Kids we assembled a team of neurologists, pediatricians, dietitians and nutrition scientists who helped us understand which nutrients are essential for childhood brain development. Then we worked together to determine how much of these nutrients our children really need, and built that amount into the BrainPack®.
