"Brain nutrition sets the foundation of intelligence for our kids' future." JILL CASTLE MS, RDN Childhood Nutrition Expert
Key nutrients for childhood brain development
Meet the BrainPack™, a proprietary blend of Omega-3s including DHA and ALA, and Choline, created specifically for children during the most critical years of brain development.
DID YOU KNOW?
Up to 15% of a kids brain is made of Omega-3 DHA- ALA is critical for a healthy brain, some is even converted to DHA
- Choline is critical for building the brain’s information superhighways
Up to 15% of a kids brain is made of Omega-3 DHA
Kids Aren’t Getting Enough Important Brain Nutrients
Why?
It’s tough to get our kids to eat enough foods like salmon and broccoli, which are great sources of nutrients that nourish growing brains.
"Good food is only nutritious if they eat it."
Dr. Laura Jana MD,
Pediatrician,
Author of ‘Toddler Brain’
The Gap:
Omega-3 DHA/EPA:
Kids only get 20% of the daily recommended intake
Choline:
Kids only get 69% of the daily recommended intake
What We Eat in America, NHANES 2015-2016 (Ages 4-18)
World Health Organization/UN-FAO (Daily Adequate Intake)
US National Academy of Medicine (Daily Adequate Intake)
Close the Gap
One 4oz Serving of Brainiac™ yogurt provides as much:
-
Omega-3 DHA
as 1oz salmon filet
130mg Omega-3 DHA -
Choline
as 2 cups of broccoli
120mg Choline -
Omega-3 ALA
as 1 cup of brussels sprouts
160mg Omega-3 ALA
Why Brainiac™?
We brought together the best brains to build the BrainPack™
When we started Brainiac™, we knew we needed to bring together a group of experts to help develop the BrainPack™. So, 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™.
