Adequate nutrition during infancy is essential for lifelong health and well-being. Infants should be exclusively breastfed for the first 6 months of life to achieve optimal growth.
Breast milk should be the first choice for your infant's growth and development, but if and when you choose formula, you should feel good knowing there is nutritional value available that is closest to mother's milk.

From the age of 1 year onwards, parents often become concerned about their child's eating habits. This is the age where the eating habits for later life are established and it is therefore important that a positive attitude towards food is formed and sound eating habits are developed.
The latest consultation of international experts, convened to assess energy requirements, agreed that the energy intake from food must allow a level of physical activity consistent with long-term good health and adequate growth in children.1

There is evidence from published clinical trials that women who take DHA during pregnancy give birth to infants with higher cognitive development, higher IQ scores and mental processing scores up to 4 years of age.2,3
DHA has been shown to have a significant positive impact on cognitive and visual development. Babies that take DHA develop visual acuity, hand-eye coordination and other cognitive abilities faster than those who don't. Some studies have even suggested that DHA exposure leads to a higher IQ level.4
