Omega-3s for Classroom Brain Power

by Barlean's Organic Oils on September 28, 2011

As school bells ring in a new academic year, parents want to give their children a learning edge to increase chances for future success. To nurture developing young brains and inquisitive minds, parents need look no further than the essential omega-3 fatty acids – building blocks for brain cells (neurons). Neurons use the omega-3s ALA (as in flaxseed oil), as well as EPA and DHA (as in fish oil), to build new tissue and nerve fibers to communicate with each other. Moreover, a special group of brain hormones called neuroprotectins, synthesized from DHA, is critical to maintaining the structure and function of brain tissue. Researches have also concluded that omega-3s can improve learning ability and behavior in children. The only question is — how do we get kids to take omega-3s? The answer is now easy – Barlean’s Omega Swirls. A proprietary process turns award-winning Barlean’s Organic Flaxseed Oil and / or Fish Oils into acclaimed, pre-emulsified Omega Swirls with the delicious taste and texture of fruit smoothies that kids love. Because the oils are pre-emulsified, their absorption into the blood stream has proven to be nine times that of non-emulsified oils. That means that a small amount of tasty Omega Swirl can have an enormous positive impact on your child’s brain development. Adjust the dose according to your child’s body weight. This school year, let Barlean’s Omega Swirls give your child a nutritional brain boost and a step up for future success.
