A recent study on children aged between 8 and 10 years shows that some don't get enough iodine in their diet.


Iodine deficiency in children can impair intellectual development. Overall, children in mainland Australia are borderline iodine deficient. In particular, NSW and Victorian children are mildly iodine deficient and South Australian children are borderline iodine deficient 1. As a result Iodine has been included in this formula and is essential during childhood to help support normal mental development and brain function, along with learning ability and cognitive function which may assist performance at school.


Kids Brain BoostTM provides the following health benefits:

  • Fish Oil to support brain development, behaviour, concentration, memory and learning
  • Contains Chromium for glucose metabolism and Iodine for healthy growth and development
  • Key supplementation where a poor diet may leave children lacking in essential fatty acids (fish oils) and micronutrients

Nervous System Health – Cognition and Learning

MICROgenics® Kids Brain BoostTM may assist learning ability and concentration. Fish oil plays an important role in the maintenance of the nervous system and may help concentration and support the functioning of the brain. Children with difficulties in learning, behaviour, and psychosocial adjustment given fatty acid supplementation had significant improvements in reading, spelling, and behaviour over 3 months of treatment 2.

Healthy iodine levels are required for IQ development and school performance. Zinc deficiency is more common in children with ADHD compared to normal children 3.


Skin and Cell Membrane Health

Omega-3 is required for the structural integrity of all cell membranes. A deficiency of can lead to dryness, scaling and redness of the skin associated with minor skin conditions such as eczema 4. Natural Fish Oils may assist in the management of minor skin disorders such as eczema.


Digestive Health

Zinc helps children maintain a healthy appetite and supports their immune system while Chromium helps maintain normal glucose metabolism. Vitamin B3 is essential for a healthy digestive system and assists children's normal growth and development.


Immune Health

Zinc is involved in many aspects of immunological function. Deficiencies rapidly diminish cell mediated and antibody responses in humans and zinc is necessary for the health of a normal immune system.
