By the time your little one celebrates her third birthday, she's ready to enter the age of faster learning! And that's why a stronger immune system is so important at this age—so that less sicknesses will interrupt your child's learning and that nutrients will be maximally utilized for brain development.3
It’s a fact: children are more prone to sickness. But that doesn’t mean you can’t do anything to boost your child’s developing immune system. A simple way to improve her immunity is by giving her a milk packed with Human Milk Oligosaccharides or HMOs. This special type of prebiotic nourishes your growing child’s developing digestive system. And because 70% of the immune system exists in the gut, keeping your little one’s digestive system healthy with HMO also means strengthening her immunity.1
When your child is not sickly, her nutrient intake is utilized for brain development instead of being used to fight off infections. Less sick days also mean that she can spend more time out there playing and learning!
The fast growth of your three-year old’s mind needs to be accompanied by proper nutrition—and that’s where the 10 key brain nutrients comes in. It has lutein, an ingredient that can boost your child’s learning ability by improving brain processing speed based on studies!2 No wonder new research shows that school children with higher levels of lutein do better in Math, Reading, and Language.4
Load up your child’s diet with lutein by serving her egg yolks, broccoli, lettuce, and asparagus.2
Complete her balanced meals and encourage her to learn even faster by giving her the new SIMILAC GAINSCHOOL—the world’s 1st formula that combines HMO for stronger immunity and 10 key brain nutrients for faster learning.
