Why are essential fatty acids important for your toddler?

Omega-3s are essential fatty acids that help feed the brain & keep it healthy. They are part of the process of building new cells — the key to developing the central nervous & cardiovascular systems and helping the body absorb nutrients.

Omega-3 fats also are important for eye function.

Omega-3 fats may help manage psychological & behavioural conditions because of their role in neurotransmitter function.

They promote better sleep and improve ADHD and asthma symptoms.
