A groundbreaking 2001 study published in the Journal of Pediatrics followed two groups of pregnant mothers in Norway for five years. One group received corn oil throughout pregnancy, while the other received cod liver oil rich in omega-3 DHA.
The results were stunning: children whose mothers took cod liver oil scored 5 IQ points higher at age five. Learn why DHA should be the dominant omega-3 in your supplement (with the ideal 2:3 ratio of DHA to EPA).
Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers can now test not only their own levels but also their breast milk to ensure optimal brain nutrition for their babies. This is actionable science every parent needs to know.
