Features
Studies show that daily supplementation with key nutrients can, over time, boost brain power and improve cognitive function, learning, behaviour and mood, while increasing energy and vitality. Daily supplementation with the key nutrients found in Learning Factors Daily Nutrient Boost with Pea Protein can enhance cognitive activity, brain function and plasticity - essential for learning new behaviours, adapting to life's changing circumstances, and optimizing motor function.
The brain is clearly the hungriest organ in the body. Not only does the brain have a voracious appetite for basic fuel (glucose) and oxygen; but it is the organ that is the most sensitive to the adequacy of numerous other nutrients such as vitamins and minerals. Learning Factors Daily Nutrient Boost provides a complete range of vitamins and minerals that boost brain power and nourish a growing body. The brains of children and teens with cognitive and behavioural problems are often under oxidative stress; vitamins C, E and beta carotene are key antioxidants that quench free radicals and support the immune system.
The B vitamins are essential for numerous biochemical functions, particularly energy production. The brain consumes about 20% of the body's energy, so adequate intake of B vitamins is vital for optimal brain performance and to help reduce stress. Vitamin D is important for bone health, immune system regulation and preventing degenerative nerve disorders. Vitamin E is a potent fat-soluble antioxidant that helps protect nerve and brain tissues. The key minerals required for optimal brain function and healthy growth include iron, magnesium, zinc, and calcium, as well as trace minerals such as chromium, selenium, manganese, molybdenum, copper, iodine, phosphorus, and potassium.
This Learning Factors Nutrient Boost formula has been modified to contain extremely low allergy-potential, non-GMO pea protein instead of rice protein, for improved texture and mouth feel.
