BrainStrong "The Brain Vitamin" Review

Every parent wants to make sure their little one is getting the proper nutrition during their critical growing years, but with the reliance on processed foods, the growing number of allergies and the inevitable, “I’m not eating that” dinner table battles, it's a tough thing to guarantee on a daily basis. The omega-3 fatty acid, DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid), is an extraordinarily important brain nutrient for growing children, but is particularly difficult to introduce sufficient amounts into a child’s diet.

DHA is one of the major building blocks of the brain and important for optimal brain development. Naturally, it is found in “brain rich foods” such as salmon, sardines, tuna, and other fish, and also flax seeds, chia seeds and walnuts. But it’s a challenge to convince a picky eater to dig into a plate of oily fish and most nuts and seeds don't convert into DHA efficiently in the body. To make it even harder on parents, fish and nuts are both on the “Top 8 Allergen” list, and there is growing concern about levels of mercury and ocean pollutants in fish.

But while the dinner battles may never totally go away, concern about your child getting enough DHA is one thing you can take off the table. BrainStrong^TM Kids, powered by life’sDHA^TM, provides 50mg of DHA in an easy-to-chew gummy with a great tasting citrus flavor. BrainStrong Kids is developed specifically for brain health using 3x more DHA than leading Kid’s multivitamins with DHA. It’s estimated that children in the U.S. get only 20-30mg of DHA per day, but BrainStrong Kids is in line with governmental health agencies’ recommended daily requirement to promote healthy growth and development.

BrainStrong Kids (for ages 3+), is the first DHA-plus-multivitamin in a great tasting citrus-flavored gummy that helps support your child’s brain development and function.* Just one BrainStrong Kids gummy contains 100 mg of life'sDHA™, the same safe, natural, premium DHA brand found in 99% of all infant formula sold in the U.S. BrainStrong Kids contains more DHA than any other over-the-counter kids supplement or vitamin.

BrainStrong Adult is a new daily brain health supplement for adults of all ages containing 900mg/serving of a DHA omega-3 fatty acid, which helps protect the brain against normal cognitive decline as we age.* BrainStrong Adult contains life’sDHA, the premium DHA, the only brand of DHA shown in a clinical study to improve memory.*†

†A recent clinical study showed that adults over 55 with a mild memory complaint, who took 900mg/day of life'sDHA™ for 6 months, improved their short-term memory. 

I gave my kids these gummies and they took them without difficulty.  They smelled really orangy.  I remember how important DHA was when they were nursing and using formula, so I think it is a great idea to come out with a supplement of DHA.  It is also nice to have an adult version, because face it, we have so much going on with our kids we could use a little help in the memory department.  I should note that while the children's gummies smell delicious, the adult pills have a bit of an odor.  I am glad I just have to swallow them instead of chew them.  But hey, supplements aren't really known for smelling great anyways, are they?


Thank you to BrainStrong for my samples used in this review.  My opinions are my own and honest.
