Sure, that's a great question.
So as I as I mentioned with iron, cognitive development mostly, but also there's research that indicates iron deficiency can reduce the effectiveness of medications.
So that's another reason why why we want children to be iron replete.
Zinc is associated with inattentiveness.
So a zinc deficiency is associated with inattentiveness.
So we do supplement low zinc levels as well.
And a blood level of zinc can be difficult to get and it can be difficult to interpret.
That's why it's really important to have a a nutrition professional on board who can really look at at the child's diet.
and do an assessment and see whether that child is getting enough zinc day in and day out in their diet.
For example, if a child's not having meat or beans in their diet, it could be challenging to get enough zinc.
A nutrition professional's gonna be able to analyze that diet and see if there indeed is is a high risk for a zinc deficiency.
We'll be right back after this quick break.
Magnesium's another one, and that is related to neurotransmission and nerve neuron regulation in the brain.
And so what we see with a deficiency is distractability and hyperactivity.
And this is stuff that is, you know, outlined in the research.
With magnesium, we just want to make sure kids are getting great sources of magnesium in their diet day in and day out.
And magnesium can be found in a lot of different foods.
I actually have a list on uh one of the blog posts on my website that I'm happy to give you the link to that that does go through all the different food sources of these nutrients to to help parents sort of hone in on
on the types of foods that might provide these nutrients a little bit better.
And then uh the fatty acids, uh the essential fatty acids, like ecosa pentanoic acid, we call that EPA for short, or decosa hexanoic acid, we call DHA.
