Your baby’s walking and talking skills are progressing, cognitive processes are improving, and the nervous system is developing. Memory is a very important mental process that forms the basis for learning and development. When you are choosing a milk formula for your baby, pay attention to the group of vitamins it contains.
For example, vitamins B and D help with protein absorption and stimulate brain cell growth. Magnesium tones the nervous system and nerve endings. Vitamin K is involved in the synthesis of fats, significant for cell development and function, so it is considered one of the best for memory. Vitamins A and C boost immunity and keep the brain active. Lutein and zeaxanthin are good for vision, and thus for visual memory.

2. Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) its main task is to speed up and improve thinking processes.
3. Vitamin B3 (nicotine acid) improves memory, produces energy in nerve cells, improves brain function.
