Lipids, or fats, are found naturally in breast milk and are an essential part of a healthy diet because they are important structural components of an infant's brain1 and eyes.2 Parent’s Choice is enriched with key omega-3 fatty acids for infant brain and eye development.

What is omega-3?

Omega-3 is a major structural and functional element of all membranes in the gray matter of the brain and the retina of the eye and is also an important part of the heart. Numerous studies prove that people of all ages, from infancy to adulthood, benefit from an adequate supply of omega-3.

What is omega-6?

Omega-6 is important for proper brain development in infants and is a precursor to a group of hormone-like substances that are crucial to immunity, blood clotting, and other essential bodily functions.

The omega-3 and omega-6 in Parent’s Choice are derived from natural vegetarian sources developed by Martek Biosciences.
