Mead Johnson Nutrition Malaysia proudly concluded the Enfagrow A+ Brain Speedometer Challenge Grand Finale today at Petrosains KLCC, bringing together 27 young finalists aged from 1 -6 years to showcase their cognitive abilities.
The event underscored the early five years as a ‘golden window’ for brain development, during which almost 90% of a child’s brain forms with over one million neural connections made every second.
This critical period fosters next-level intelligence—traits that are Advanced, Attentive, and Adaptable—and emphasises the importance of fast brain processing speed for learning, problem-solving, and adaptability.
The role of MFGM in Enfagrow A+ was highlighted for its support of rapid processing speed and cognitive resilience.
Additionally, the COMEL developmental milestone toolkit, first introduced at the Future-Ready A+ Kids Expo earlier this year, enables parents and healthcare professionals to track developmental milestones actively, ensuring children gain the foundational skills for lifelong learning.
At the Expo, participants also competed in the Enfagrow A+ Brain Speedometer Challenge, where 27 finalists were selected based on their real-time cognitive performance.
Enfagrow A+ Brain Speedometer Challenge: A Fun Way to Engage and Test and Showcase Brain Abilities in Children
The Enfagrow A+ Brain Speedometer Challenge Grand Finale showcased children’s processing speed in real time, highlighting how quickly and effectively they absorb and respond to information.
Developing fast brain processing speed is essential during the formative years, as it builds Advanced, Attentive, and Adaptable traits—the hallmarks of next-level intelligence and a foundation for resilience.
Supporting these abilities through proper nutrition, particularly with MFGM and DHA in Enfagrow A+ MindPro, plays a key role in nurturing future-ready children equipped to tackle tomorrow’s challenges.
Trang La Phuong, Nutrition Marketing Manager of Mead Johnson Nutrition Malaysia, expressed the company’s commitment to child development and parental support, “At Mead Johnson Nutrition, our mission is to nurture future-ready generations through science-backed nutrition that fuels next-level intelligence in children, helping them become Advanced, Attentive, and Adaptable.
The Enfagrow A+ Brain Speedometer Challenge provides an engaging way for families to see the value of fast brain processing speed and early cognitive screening while showcasing the foundational role of MFGM-enriched nutrition in shaping cognitive resilience and emotional wellbeing.”
