DHA, AA, Omega 3&6 - To fuel learning & mental growth. DHA is important for optimal visual and cognitive development¹. AA is recognised for its key role for optimal health, cognition and development during foetal and early postnatal life². Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids are important for normal development of the brain, nervous system, sensory organs and intelligence³.

Upsize of Nutrients - Calcium, Protein, Iron, Copper, Vitamin A and K1 - These nutrients give rapid growth of muscle and bone, as well as healthy vision to prepare the body for study as children of 4 years old begin their preschool education. Calcium helps in the normal growth and development of bones and teeth. Protein is essential for your child’s growth, maintenance and repair for the body⁴. When copper is combined with iron, it allows the body to build red blood cells as well as maintain healthy bones, blood vessels, nerves, and immune system⁵. Vitamin A enhances vision and immune functions⁶. Vitamin K1 helps make other proteins in the body that are important for blood, bone and kidney health and can be found in dark, leafy green vegetables⁷.

GOS, Nucleotides & Bifido Lactis - Helps absorb key nutrients & build strong immune systems. GOS are prebiotics that can help with constipation and more⁸. Nucleotides can promote healthy gastrointestinal and immunological growth in young children⁹. Bifido Lactis is important for diarrhoea prevention as well as immune and gut maturation¹⁰.

Nutrients in their natural state are much easier for delicate tummies to digest. This means your child’s tummy doesn’t get stressed and there is less chance of them getting constipated. Which is important for building a strong digestive system, supporting immunity and providing required energy for development.
