The years from age 4 to 6 are often termed early childhood and this is a
period of rapid skeletal and muscular development, as well as continuing brain
growth. Studies have revealed that 90% of brain growth occurs during the first
five years of life and this is a critical period when adequate nutrition is
particularly important. Research also shows that undernutrition early in life can
impair physical and brain development in a child resulting in a reduced
capacity to learn, poorer performance in school and a lifetime of lost earning
potential.

Peak 456 is fortified with DHA, an omega-3 fatty acid which is a major
structural fat found in the brain and retina of the eyes. DHA influences a
child’s developmental milestones such as motor skills, speech, learning,
thinking, and visual development. Peak 456 also provides essential vitamins,
minerals, protein and carbohydrate to meet the nutritional requirements of
those vital years after a child’s third birthday.
