For healthy brain development, your child needs the highest levels of brain-nutrient DHA. In the first 5 years of your child’s life, her brain will grow up to 90% of its adult size. It’s a crucial period of development for her, full of important milestones. It’s during this time she learns to name basic shapes, how to dress herself, and even how to make friends–all for the very first time.
That’s why it’s so important to not just give her brain-building nutrients like DHA, but to make sure she gets the right amount.
Experts recommend taking a total of 100-150 mg of DHA every day. But based on children’s typical diet, they usually get only 38.7 mg of DHA—falling short of the standard.
A glass of milk can help fix that though. Because out of all the children’s milk brands in the market, Enfagrow A+ Four has the highest levels of DHA to help your child meet the experts’ recommendation.
With 3 glasses a day, you can help support her healthy brain development for her growth and learning.
