Top 4 Supplements For Baby’s Brain Development During Pregnancy (That Aren’t in Your Average Prenatal)
There’s A LOT of complicated biology that goes into creating your baby’s brain — and all of that hard work requires quality nutrition. But even the best diets (or prenatal vitamins!) rarely have enough nutrients to support rapid fetal growth, especially during the critical third trimester. Healthy fats, including phospholipids and essential fatty acids, are the building blocks for your baby’s brain (and yours!).

1. Phospholipids Build Brain Cells
A high-quality phospholipid complex is absolutely essential for fetal brain development. Phospholipids (like phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylserine) are the main building blocks of your baby’s brain, as well as all of their cell membranes.
We can’t get enough of these phospholipids through diet alone, and they are so critical to fetal development. So it’s important to supplement! Plus, phosphatidylcholine, the main phospholipid in BodyBio PC, plays a crucial role in maintaining cell structure and function. It is especially abundant in the liver, brain, and nervous tissues - pretty important organs for our developing babies 😉

“I think I would be a brain fog mess if it weren't for BodyBio PC. I also attribute my healthy pregnancies and healthy babies to this supplement. Phospholipids are so important to healthy fetal development, and unfortunately, we do not get enough from our food alone.”

2. Cold-Pressed EFAs = Brain Fuel
Essential fatty acids — better known as Omega-6s and Omega-3s — are also essential for fetal growth and development, especially brain development. Most people think we only need to supplement omega-3s, but actually…
We need omega-6s and 3s in a 4:1 ratio to support optimal human health — and this is even more important during pregnancy! The most important thing is to get these essential fatty acids from non-toxic, non-oxidized sources like whole fatty fish, avocado, and cold-pressed organic seed oils.
BodyBio Balance Oil has the optimized 4:1 omega-6 to omega-3 ratio sourced from cold-pressed, non-oxidized safflower oil and flaxseed oil. This stuff is the best brain fuel there is!

3. Fish Oil Supports Healthy Vision
There are times when we need extra omega-3s, and the third trimester is definitely one of them. A high quality fish oil adds DHA fats to support the final stages of brain and eye development. Make sure to continue supplementing after birth too — your baby will continue to receive added DHA through breast milk during the first months of life.
BodyBio Fish Oil is extracted with supercritical carbon dioxide technology, preserving the delicate omega-3 fatty acids to meet high standards of purity and quality.

4. E-Lyte Hydrates on the Cellular Level - Bye Leg Cramps!
When you’re pregnant, both you and baby need enough electrolytes to support fluid balance and get nutrients into cells. It’s not just baby’s brain development that is affected here, it’s just about everything — the digestive system, skeletal and muscular system, and lung development to name a few.
Plus, E-Lyte is a life saver for relieving painful leg cramps and is great to have on hand during labor for energy and hydration. BodyBio E-Lyte provides an optimal ratio of sodium, magnesium, and potassium for healthy cells without any additional sweeteners or additives. Just pure, salty electrolytes.
