I mixed it into my 23-month-old’s breakfast and she ate it without much resistance; one 9.5ml bottle lasts about 14 days at two dropperfuls twice daily. A convenient addition to breakfast. ## Good to know - **Total volume**: 9.5ml - **Serving amount**: 2 dropperfuls, twice daily - **Expected duration**: About 14 days - **Storage**: Refrigeration is recommended before and after opening *Prices as written by the tester on Jun 4, 2024 · not updated automatically* ## At 23 months, watching development change so quickly They say the human brain grows rapidly during the first two years of life, forming about 75% of its mass. Raising Ppogi, I can definitely feel language and cognitive development speeding up like a sponge as she entered 23 months and passed her second birthday—it is simply amazing. Her language, imitation, facial expressions, and muscle development are all noticeably different. That is why it feels important to encourage balanced brain development at this stage. When I look at Ppogi’s daycare updates, there are many photos of her doing activities alongside children her age, and sometimes differences in development are visible. During art activities, I notice things like drawing lines, making circles, coloring, and even the way little fingers hold crayons. And as the number of words she can say has increased, so has her ability to express herself; every day feels different. Ppogi is doing well even now, but I wanted to give her an extra boost when she learns and studies things going forward. I have not given her any supplements other than probiotics yet, but this was a good opportunity to apply to try a brain supplement. It is said to be good for brain development, and above all, it is liquid, so I can simply add it with a dropper when she eats toddler meals. I think the convenient format is the best part. ![Genius New supplement delivered with an ice pack](https://img.superchart.com/images/geniusnew-toddler-brain-liquid/geniusnew-toddler-brain-liquid-01-vkfit-900.webp) ![Liquid supplement received in Styrofoam packaging](https://img.superchart.com/images/geniusnew-toddler-brain-liquid/geniusnew-toddler-brain-liquid-02-xa4co-900.webp) The supplement arrived enclosed in Styrofoam with an ice pack. Since storage and distribution seem important for this type of ingredient, I was worried the nutrients might be damaged in the warming weather, so I was relieved. ## Ingredients and features highlighted by Genius New > Contains essential brain nutrients for a baby’s growth process Genius New says it uses an ingredient called “OloMega Baby Smart,” which contains components that make up the brain. This ingredient contains DHA, ALA, and phospholipids, which form brain cell membranes. The product information says these are key nutrients needed for growing children’s brain development, but because they are not produced in the body, they can be consumed through food or supplements. ### DHA, ALA, and phospholipids DHA and ALA are omega-3 fatty acids. According to the product information, they are essential fatty acids needed for the development of neural cell membranes, including those in the brain, and the retina of the eye. It says the fluid nature of these unsaturated fatty acids, which have double bonds, keeps cell membranes flexible and plays beneficial roles in the body, such as helping neurotransmitter movement and nutrient absorption. Phospholipids are components that make up the membrane protecting cells, and they are said to be present in large amounts in the brain and retina. They consist of a hydrophilic head that binds well with water-soluble substances and a hydrophobic fatty-acid tail that binds well with fat-soluble substances. The product explains that phospholipids in brain cells play an important role in nerve transmission between cells and in regulating enzyme systems needed for brain function, helping with things such as memory enhancement. ### A liquid oil to mix into food The product is described as a plant-based omega-3 made using a 100% eco-friendly extraction method, without worries about marine pollution, radiation, or heavy metals. Because it is a liquid oil, the instructions say it can be mixed into foods such as baby food or purées, or dropped onto the mother’s nipple or a pacifier during feeding. ### Korean-cultured microalgae omega-3 and no-added-ingredients guidance Genius New says it uses a plant-based microalgae omega-3 ingredient that is cultured and manufactured directly in Korea. It says its natural triglyceride-form microalgae-derived DHA, ALA from perilla purslane extract, and soy lecithin phospholipids provide a balanced ratio, with no characteristic fishy smell. It also says it uses no artificial additives, including synthetic flavorings, colorants, sweeteners, or preservatives that are often used in children’s products. Omega-3 is important for adults too, but I thought it was simply for the eyes. Mommy learned a lot thanks to you too, Ppogi, haha. ![Genius New brain-nutrition supplement](https://img.superchart.com/images/geniusnew-toddler-brain-liquid/geniusnew-toddler-brain-liquid-03-1cb7q-1200.webp) ![Genius New liquid supplement bottle](https://img.superchart.com/images/geniusnew-toddler-brain-liquid/geniusnew-toddler-brain-liquid-04-9jrh9-900.webp) ## 9.5ml volume and using the dropper The total volume is a small 9.5ml. At two dropperfuls twice a day, it is enough for about 14 days. ![9.5ml liquid supplement](https://img.superchart.com/images/geniusnew-toddler-brain-liquid/geniusnew-toddler-brain-liquid-05-pembn-900.webp) ![Supplement set including a dropper](https://img.superchart.com/images/geniusnew-toddler-brain-liquid/geniusnew-toddler-brain-liquid-06-9t344-900.webp) The instructions for attaching the dropper are very thoughtfully laid out. ![Instructions for attaching the dropper](https://img.superchart.com/images/geniusnew-toddler-brain-liquid/geniusnew-toddler-brain-liquid-07-adnnj-900.webp) ![Liquid supplement dropper setup](https://img.superchart.com/images/geniusnew-toddler-brain-liquid/geniusnew-toddler-brain-liquid-08-ykx10-900.webp) At first, I thought I had to measure it by weight, but measuring a fraction of a gram was far too difficultㅠ The scale was no use. I just squeezed out the drops. Haha. ![Dropping liquid supplement with the dropper](https://img.superchart.com/images/geniusnew-toddler-brain-liquid/geniusnew-toddler-brain-liquid-09-octwc-900.webp) ![Liquid supplement to mix into breakfast](https://img.superchart.com/images/geniusnew-toddler-brain-liquid/geniusnew-toddler-brain-liquid-10-5gt2w-900.webp) ## My first try mixing it into breakfast Ppogi tends to eat a one-bowl meal in the morning, so I thought it would be good to mix it into her breakfast and give it to her that way. First try! ![First try mixing supplement into breakfast](https://img.superchart.com/images/geniusnew-toddler-brain-liquid/geniusnew-toddler-brain-liquid-11-ec9hg-900.webp) ![Child's breakfast mixed with liquid supplement](https://img.superchart.com/images/geniusnew-toddler-brain-liquid/geniusnew-toddler-brain-liquid-12-1tlbp-900.webp) ![Child eating breakfast mixed with supplement](https://img.superchart.com/images/geniusnew-toddler-brain-liquid/geniusnew-toddler-brain-liquid-13-1h8tb-900.webp) Ppogi ate it well without much resistance. I did not show her the dropping-and-mixing part in case she disliked it, but the taste does not seem very different. Instead, this cute little rascal held the bottle and examined it this way and that, haha. Genius New recommends refrigeration both before and after opening. Off to the refrigerator with you, quick! ![Genius New supplement stored in the refrigerator](https://img.superchart.com/images/geniusnew-toddler-brain-liquid/geniusnew-toddler-brain-liquid-14-prhzq-900.webp) The next morning, I dropped the supplement in right in front of her this time. ![Breakfast with supplement dropped in front of the child](https://img.superchart.com/images/geniusnew-toddler-brain-liquid/geniusnew-toddler-brain-liquid-15-b2kn1-900.webp) Maybe she found it fascinating and wanted to mix it herself? Ppogi took a big scoop and went nom! She had been eating well lately—is her appetite coming back!?!??! It is probably just my imagination that she seems better after only two days. Haha. ![A 23-month-old child eating breakfast](https://img.superchart.com/images/geniusnew-toddler-brain-liquid/geniusnew-toddler-brain-liquid-16-2ze6d-900.webp) I hope you keep eating it well, Ppogi~~~ ## Consistency rather than noticeable results This is my first time giving Ppogi a liquid supplement since she took probiotics as a newborn. Honestly, it is not a supplement with instantly noticeable results, but since it contains ingredients said to be good for brain development, I think she should have it during this peak-time golden time at 23 months :) They say every nutrient has its time to be taken, so I hope it helps. ^^ ## Products - Genius New brain-nutrition supplement 9.5ml — Grow Lab - 하루 2번 2스포이드 섭취 시 약 14일 --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@picturebook-picnics/geniusnew-toddler-brain-liquid/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
