This form of B vitamins is already in an active state, meaning they can be readily utilized by the body without the need for conversion.*
Mood regulation and cognitive function: B vitamins play a role in the synthesis of neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine, which are crucial for mood regulation and cognitive function.*1,2
Brain function and development: B vitamins play a role in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into energy, which is crucial for brain function and development.*3
DNA Synthesis and Repair: Methylfolate is crucial for DNA synthesis and repair, which is essential for brain development and function.*4,5
Homocysteine Metabolism: Methylated B vitamins help regulate homocysteine levels. Elevated homocysteine can be harmful and has been linked to cognitive issues and other neurological concerns.*6
Support for Children with MTHFR Mutations: Children with MTHFR gene mutations may have reduced ability to convert B vitamins to their active form, making methylated forms especially beneficial for them.*7

This form of curcumin is 46 times better absorbed by the body than standard curcumin, based on clinical studies.*
Supports Brain Growth: Curcumin can boost levels of the brain hormone Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), which supports the growth of new neurons.*1
Memory and Cognition: Animal studies have indicated that curcumin may enhance memory and cognitive function, potentially through its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant mechanisms.*2
Mood Regulation: Some studies have suggested that curcumin might help alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety, potentially by increasing serotonin and dopamine levels.*3
Potential for Reducing ADHD Symptoms: Some studies have shown potential benefits of curcumin in possibly reducing symptoms of ADHD due to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.*4
Antioxidant Effects: Curcumin has strong antioxidant properties, which may protect the brain from oxidative stress.*5
Protection Against Heavy Metals: Curcumin has been found to offer protection against heavy metal toxicity, which can be detrimental to brain health.*6
Anti-inflammatory Properties: Curcumin is known for its potent anti-inflammatory effects, which may help counteract inflammation-related brain issues.*7

Emerging research highlights its importance in various physiological functions, including brain health and immune system functioning.*
Neurodevelopment: Vitamin D receptors are found throughout the brain, and there's evidence to suggest that vitamin D is essential for the normal development and function of the brain.*1
Mood Regulation and Mental Health: Low levels of vitamin D have been associated with increased risks of mood disorders such as depression, even in children and adolescents. Ensuring adequate vitamin D levels might help in mood regulation.*2
Cognitive Function: Some studies have shown a potential link between vitamin D levels and cognitive function, suggesting that adequate vitamin D might support optimal brain performance and memory.*3
Anti-inflammatory: Chronic inflammation has been linked to many brain-related issues, from depression to neurodegenerative diseases. Vitamin D has anti-inflammatory properties which might benefit brain health.*4

Omega-3’s are “essential”, meaning they are a type of fat that can be obtained solely through diet and not synthesized in the body. Getting adequate intake is key to optimizing brain function and also to decreasing inflammation in the body.*
Most children don’t eat enough fish to get the amount of Omega-3’s clinically researched to provide enhanced benefits to the brain. A daily dose of our monk-fruit sweetened Omega-3 fish oil can close this dietary gap and enhance brain, mood, and behavioral health. Our Omega-3 is made from wild-caught fish and meets the strictest standards to ensure its purity.*
Note that EPA- and DHA-rich fish oil appear to provide more clinical benefits than plant-based omega-3 options, which are rich in ALA. ALA isn’t biologically active and needs to be converted to EPA and DHA to be used. Because only a very small amount of ALA is converted into DHA and EPA, fish oil omega-3’s are far superior to plant-based products.*
Potential for Reducing ADHD Symptoms: Some studies have found a potential link between omega-3 supplementation and reduction of ADHD symptoms, which may help with attention, focus, and concentration. It has been suggested that EPA >500mg maybe used to improve ADHD symptoms.*1 Our omega-3 has this optimal amount of EPA.
Enhances Cognitive Function: Higher intake of omega-3s may be linked to improvements in cognitive function, memory, attention, and learning ability.*2
Improves Mood and Behavior: Some studies suggest that omega-3s may have a positive impact on mood, behavior, and may reduce the risk of developing mood disorders in children.*3,4
Supports Neural Connectivity: Omega-3 fatty acids are a key building block of cell membranes that surround central nervous system tissue. Omega-3s can influence membrane fluidity, impacting neural connections, synapse formation, and neurotransmitter function.*5
Bonus: Beyond brain health, omega-3’s also support:
A Healthy inflammatory response*6
Respiratory health in children*7
Maintaining normal blood sugar and heart health in kids*8
