The Science Behind MFGM and DHA in Early Childhood Nutrition

MFGM in early childhood nutrition provides bioactive compounds that fuel brain development and enhance immune system strength. Studies show MFGM benefits for children by improving learning, memory, and behaviour. Similarly, DHA represents about 15% of fatty acids in the brain's frontal lobe and is also present in the retina, playing a crucial role in visual and cognitive functions.¹ By supporting the development of photoreceptor cells in the retina and aiding new brain cell creation, DHA lays the foundation for lifelong learning.⁶

MFGM and DHA benefits for children create a powerhouse for holistic growth. They enhance brain cell connectivity, promoting cognitive clarity, emotional regulation, and physical milestones. Research shows this combination is more effective than DHA alone in supporting advanced brain development.⁷
