What is Ultra IQ PLUS™?
Ultra IQ Plus™ is a special formulation of conditionally Essential Fatty Acids for Elderly & Children. Ultra IQ Plus™ is rich in DHA, with AA & OA to help pregnant women, growing children and elderly meet important nutritional requirements in essential fatty acids.
Ultra IQ Plus™ provides a balanced intake of omega 3 Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA), omega 6 Arachidonic Acid (AA) and omega 9 Oleic Acid (OA) fatty acids.
Ultra IQ Plus™ DHA is derived from micro algae (aquatic plant), suitable for vegan. A study《3》found that preterm infants fed baby formulas fortified with DHA derived directly from algae gained weight faster than infants fed formula fortified with DHA from fish oil. In addition, there are no risks of harmful contaminants such as methyl mercury or dioxins, which may be present in fish and fish oils. This is especially important for pregnant and nursing women and young children.
Recommended For:
Growing children of all ages brain development
Children with learning disorders (ADHD, dyslexia)
Children with poor, unbalanced diet
Visual Impairment / Visual blurring
Higher scores on standardized intelligence and achievement tests at 4 years of age have been noted in those supplemented with DHA.
Pregnant and Breast-feeding women
Elderly with poor memory
Business class executives that requires a lot brain power in their stressful working environment
Who Should Supplement DHA?
Individuals who limit their meat and egg intake (such as vegetarians or those on low-cholesterol programs) and others whose diets are generally low in DHA can assure an adequate supply by supplementing their diets with DHA.
Benefits of DHA For Growing Children
DHA Supports Growing Minds for children’s.
DHA is important for healthy growth and development during the early stages of life when children's brains, eyes and nervous systems are growing and developing.
As children grow and develop, they never lose their need for DHA It’s the most important omega-s 3 fatty acid for brain and vision health at every stage of life.
Benefits and Importance of DHA for elderly
Study shown that DHA intake has been associated with adult brain and eye health and a decreased risk of mental decline associated with aging. So, if you have difficulty remembering new things from day to day then you may have a problem with your memory. What should be done when your memory is faulty? Most importantly a diagnosis of the illness that affects the memory must be made.
In the elderly, Alzheimer's disease is usually the cause in roughly 60% of cases. Other causes of poor memory include; deficient blood supply to the brain due to diseases of the brain arteries, depression, thyroid problems, liver problems, vitamin deficiencies, and others.Low levels of DHA have also been linked to psychological disorders including depression.
Benefits of DHA for Pregnant Women
DHA has recently gained attention as a supplement for pregnant women,《1》noting studies of improved attention and visual acuity. It is recommended that the pregnant and nursing women should take at least 2.6g of omega fatty acids and 100-300 DHA to look
after the need of her foetus and sucking infant.
One recent study indicates that low levels of plasma and erythrocyte DHA were associated with poor retinal development, low visual acuity, and poor cognitive development. In that same study, alpha-linolenic acid was shown as a source of fetal DHA, but that performed DHA was more readily accredited.
Folic acid is a B vitamin needed for cell replication and growth. Folic acid helps form building blocks of DNA, the body’s genetic information, and building blocks of RNA, needed for protein synthesis in all cells. Therefore, rapidly growing tissues, such as those of a fetus, and rapidly regenerating cells, like red blood cells and immune cells, have a high need for folic acid. Folic acid deficiency results in a form of anemia that responds quickly to folic acid supplementation.
