🧠 New research from CU Anschutz: A study found prenatal phosphatidylcholine supplements may boost fetal brain development.
📈 Cognitive & Social Gains: Children whose mothers took the supplement scored nearly 8 points higher on cognitive tests at age 4 and showed fewer social withdrawal problems (4% vs 24% in placebo group).
🗣️ Developmental Support: The supplement group also had fewer language difficulties and behavioral profiles linked to autism spectrum disorder.
⚠️ Caveats: While promising, researchers noted about a third of participants didn't complete the four-year assessments, and further studies are needed to confirm lasting effects.
