About Adolescent Brain Reasearch
Adolescent brain health nutrition is becoming a key area of interest in cognitive science and public health. While early life stages like infancy are well-known for their role in brain development, adolescence, which is typically ages 9 to 19, has received far less attention in nutrition research.
Article Review
Marie Latulippe, MS, MBA, RDN, recently authored an article for the Institute for the Advancement of Food and Nutrition Sciences (IAFNS) titled “Nutrition during adolescence: A missed opportunity for optimal cognitive health?”.
The article summarizes findings from a systematic review led by Swansea University researchers, which analyzed 48 randomized controlled trials and 25 cohort studies. Although results varied, nutrients such as choline, vitamin D, polyphenols, and whole grains showed potential links to cognitive performance.
Aligning with our Mission
This research aligns with our mission to support cognitive wellness through targeted nutrition. As the makers of VitaCholine®, we are committed to advancing the science behind choline, a nutrient recognized for its role in early brain development and now gaining relevance during adolescence.
With changing dietary habits and increased cognitive demands in the teen years, this life stage presents a valuable opportunity to explore how nutrition may support long-term brain health.

Proud to Support Science that Drives Better Nutrition
As a new member of IAFNS, we recognize the urgent need for more research into adolescent brain health. The recent review led by researchers at Swansea University highlights this gap and calls for deeper investigation. We’re committed to advancing nutritional science and supporting initiatives that make a difference.
