How
it
works
The
development
of
the
brain
continues
throughout
childhood
and
adolescence
and
requires
a
steady
supply
of
many
nutrients
including
essential
minerals.
Mineral
deficiencies
are
more
common
than
is
often
believed
and
can
negatively
impact
the
development
and
function
of
the
growing
brain.
Iodine
deficiency
may
be
more
common
than
most
people
realise.
Studies
on
the
effects
of
iodine
deficiency
in
children
conclude
that
iodine
deficiency
can
lower
the
IQ
of
school-aged
children
by
13.5
points.
Healthy
iodine
levels
are
required
for
IQ
development
and
school
performance.
Iron
is
found
in
high
levels
in
brain
tissue,
and
has
multiple
roles
in
the
function
of
neurotransmitters
in
the
brain.
Low
blood
iron
levels
have
been
linked
to
poorer
maths
performance
in
a
large,
nationwide
study
of
over
5,000
American
children.
Zinc
helps
to
support
concentration,
reasoning
and
cognition
in
children.
Low
levels
of
zinc
may
be
linked
with
reduced
reading
ability.
The
incidence
of
suboptimal
zinc
consumption
in
Australia
is
widespread,
with
32%
of
8-11
year
old
boys
and
70%
of
8-11
year
old
girls
consuming
less
than
the
RDI
of
zinc.
Magnesium
is
highly
concentrated
in
brain
tissue
and
is
required
for
proper
nerve
function.
Other
nutrients
have
a
vital
role
to
play
in
the
developing
brain.
Vitamin
B12
is
required
for
proper
nerve
development.
Vitamin
C,
as
well
as
assisting
in
iron
absorption,
is
involved
with
the
synthesis
of
neurotransmitters.
Zinc
and
vitamin
B6
have
a
role
in
the
metabolism
of
essential
fatty
acids
including
EPA
and
DHA
which
are
found
in
fish
oil.
