How PM Kids Intelligent Benefit Your Children

Being a parent, you want the best for child. For your child to grow up and live a good life, they require a good start. Interaction, play, exposure to new experiences, all these add to your child’s development (mental and physical), assisting your child in making the most of every opportunity that life presents.

The health of your child starts with you. The above activities are important. But so is nutrition. Nutrition is the corner stone of your child’s health and it makes sense that your child’s development and behaviour are affected by their diet. Encouraging your children to have healthy diet is important.

Ok, let’s say you have been successful in encouraging a healthy diet in your child. Or, maybe you haven’t. What else can you do?

It is a competitive world out there. If you are doing everything you can to assist your child, or you are experiencing some difficulty in giving your child a balanced diet, why don't you consider PM Kids Intelligent?

Your Child’s Health
It is easy for your children to become deficient in DHA and EPA fatty acids, and the essential nutrients folic acid and zinc. Add to these acetyl l’carnitine and bacopa, and all these nutrients assist neural development, providing benefits to your child’s mental and physical abilities.

Central and Peripheral Nervous System Development
PM Kids Intelligent is a source of high grade tuna oil (natural) containing omega-3 fatty acids docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). Improved physical and mental development has been reported in children whose diets included DHA supplementation. Benefits include better attention, concentration, learning, cognition and memory, with a lower risk of behavioural problems including attention deficit (hyperactivity) disorder (ADD/ADHD), anxiety, stress and impulsive behaviour. While DHA makes up 60% of brain tissue, EPA assists in regulating mood, with children at a lower risk of experiencing depression.

The tuna oil included in this product is obtained from tuna fished from the clean source in the Pacific water. It is also comparatively rich in DHA, with a 5:1 ratio of DHA to EPA similar to that present in nutrient-rich human breast milk. Further, quality is assured as the tuna oil is processed according to the US Pharmacopoeia.

Folic acid is essential for brain and neural development. The folate in Kids Intelligent is required for optimal brain function, playing a key role in mental and physical health. Folic acid is involved in DNA and RNA synthesis, which in turn facilitates protein synthesis, as well as cell production and function. A recent study has outlined the neuroprotective effects of folate within the brain, being beneficial for memory and depression, while improving cognitive function. Folic acid has also been noted to influence DHA and EPA levels. Higher levels of folic acid can lead to higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids, further benefiting brain development.

Bacopa (brahmi) enhances nerve impulse activity and transmission within the brain, neuron repair, and supports new neuron growth. Brahmi possesses antioxidant properties, with effects in discrete brain regions including the hippocampus, which regulates memory. Bacopa has been demonstrated to enhance brain function through improved memory consolidation, memory retention, concentration, learning rate, and visual processing. Children, including those exhibiting ADHD symptoms, improved in intelligence test scores with bacopa supplementation. Studies have also demonstrated bacopa’s antidepressant, anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) and anti-inflammatory properties.

Acetyl-l-carnitine (acetyl levocarnitine or ALC) modulates neuron activity and promotes brain energy production. ALC regulates neuronal survival such as nerve growth factor, and possesses antioxidant properties, while improving memory, attention, verbal fluency, behaviour, and reaction time. ALC also assists in alleviating anxiety and impulsive behaviour.

Zinc modulates brain neurotransmission, improving communication between neurons and facilitating brain function. Zinc is highly concentrated within the brain, improving spatial learning, memory, attention ability, and visual reaction time.

Cell Production and Health
PM Kids Intelligent provides benefits for the maintenance of cell health, membrane integrity, function, and production. As mentioned earlier, folic acid is essential for DNA and RNA synthesis and protein synthesis. This is an essential for cell production and maintenance. Zinc is incorporated into the make up of all cells, in particular cell membranes for maintaining cell integrity and cell health.

Eye Development and Sight
The eye is composed of a network of nerves for vision processing. As with the brain and other neural tissue, DHA is in high demand during eye development and is essential for eye health. The benefits of acetyl l’carnitine, bacopa, and folic acid, on neural health also extends to eye health and development. There is also evidence that zinc assists in the maintenance of eye health and reducing the risk of optic nerve diseases through its protective, antioxidant properties.

These ingredients assist eye sight development, providing long term benefits in eye health, increasing resistance to infections and reducing the risk of symptoms associated with dry eye, and other eye conditions.

Cardiovascular Health
Fish oil benefits cardiovascular and muscle development through the inhibition of clotting factors and improving blood circulation. Folic acid also assists cardiovascular/muscle health through its role in cell production and maintenance. Folic acid intake is linked to lower homocysteine levels, which has been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events.

Other benefits
Although research is still ongoing, there is evidence that the fish oil content in PM Kids Intelligent is beneficial for long term bone and joint health. Research has shown that fish oil benefits the immune system, reducing allergy frequency and severity, as well as helping to reduce the risk of symptoms associated with different forms of arthritis and other joint complaints. Fish oil also provides benefits for skin care. DHA and EPA fatty acids increase hydration and skin cell protection. Research has shown that tuna improves the condition of damaged and inflamed skin.

Other benefits of zinc not mentioned above include reducing the risk of cardiovascular problems, diabetes, high blood fats, glucose intolerance, and improved immunity and resistance to infections. 

The beneficial effects of PM Kids Intelligent can be seen in the health and development of your child. The use of PM Kids Intelligent along with a healthy diet and lifestyle can provide benefits for your children that will provide long lasting benefits well into their adult years.
