Dr Mercola Antarctic Kids Krill Oil

Science tells us that choline and DHA -- two of the top health-promoting nutrients in pure krill oil -- are essential to the developing brains of babies and young children*.

DHA is critical to optimal brain function throughout life -- not just the first year.

You see, most of your brain's dry weight is lipid (fat). Brain activity depends greatly upon the functions provided by its outer, fatty waxy membrane to act as an electrical nerve-conduction cable.

Compared to other body tissues, the DHA content of the brain is very high. So it stands to reason that your need for DHA remains high throughout life.

Some of the many ways DHA helps your child's health?

• Supports strong cognitive function by supporting optimal neuron function*
• Promotes ability to concentrate and focus*
• Affects the motor control part of the brain, playing a major role in muscle function and coordination*
• Supports normal social development*
• Promotes appropriate behavior*
• Provides increased visual acuity*
• Promotes a positive mental health outlook*

Muscle control may not at first glance seem too critical, outside of sports. But it's crucial to the process of coordinated writing, as well as essential to sitting still during many learning activities without fidgeting, flailing around, kicking, and more.*

Visual acuity also affects your child's ability to learn. Being able to discern between two letters in a word... see what the teacher is writing on the board... and much more are everyday examples of how visual acuity impacts his or her life.*

And naturally, every parent wants a life of relative peace, represented by their child's appropriate behavior, normal social development, and positive mental attitude. After all, who wants to live in a battle zone?

What Else Does DHA Do for Your Child?

• Maintains healthy inflammatory levels in their brain and throughout their system*
• Stimulates neuron growth, and development and repair of synapses.* The brain is a vast complex system of nerve cells sending and receiving signals (electrical impulses) across junctions called synapses. The small space between the two cells is where the action occurs.
• One neuron may synapse with as many as 1,000 other neurons. Sophisticated functions like learning and memory require high-quality messaging.
• Promote focused attention, and calmness during stressful situations, by supporting optimal dopamine levels in the brain.* Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that supports motor skill development and focus, and also plays an important role in many complex brain processes.
• Regulates growth via its regulation of cellular communication and function*
• Protects the brain's function by supporting optimal glutamate function.* Glutamate and GABA are considered the brain's 'workhorse' neurotransmitters. They work together to control the brain's overall level of excitability which controls many body processes.*
• Protects all the cells in the body*
• Promotes optimal blood lipid health*

What is Choline and How Does It
Promote Your Child's Intelligence?*

Choline is a phospholipid -- a compound that contains both fats and water-soluble components. Phospholipids are essential components of your cell membranes.

Choline is found in you and your child's brain and plays a role in the production of acetylcholine -- a neurotransmitter required for memory, other brain functions, and muscle control.* Neurotransmitters carry signals from nerve cells to other cells.

Produced in the liver and found in significant quantities in your child's brain, choline is essential to the integrity of all human cell membranes.*

It also helps support proper cholesterol function and levels in your body -- something to consider especially if your child lacks a diet strong in high-quality and organic meats and vegetables.*
