Vitamin B12 & Smarter Babies

Your baby’s nutrient intake is only as good as your nutrient intake. And deficiencies can affect a baby’s neurocognitive development. Prenatal B12 might help make your baby smarter.

Vitamin B12 is important for fetal development, especially for the nervous system and brain growth.

This huge new study looked at vitamin B12 intake and language development in 5151 mother-child pairs.

It found that children of mothers who got more B12 had higher scores in language, talking and understanding. They also had significantly higher scores in verbal IQ.

This large study adds to the evidence that prenatal B12 can improve your baby’s cognitive development, especially for speech and language.
