The brain of children is extremely demanding because it is
at the crossroads of all learning (walking, language, manual skill,
relationships with others, self-awareness and others ...). The development of
the brain is characterized by its long duration: about 15 years are necessary
for the brain to reach its adult size.
Omega 3 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fatty acids, the
most important being DHA 1 and EPA 2. These lipids are the main constituents of
cell membranes and as such play an important role in the brain: the composition
of the membranes of the neurons (brain cells) allows synapses to function
properly, zones of information exchange.
Thus, omega 3, possess many benefits. In children, DHA
plays a key role. It contributes to the normal functioning of the brain and
thus participates:
- To the formation of neurons,
- Learning mechanisms,
- To maintaining normal vision.
