AURORA, Colo.- Major research is underway in preventing schizophrenia.

According to KCNC, Colorado researchers have made major progress in the prevention of schizophrenia after giving a brain boosting supplement to pregnant women and newborns.

The study looked at 100 pregnant women. Half were given choline, a nutritional supplement. The others received a placebo.

Researchers say the brains of the babies received the supplements seemed better wired.

Choline is found in meats, fish, nuts and eggs.

Researchers are not recommending all pregnant women take choline supplements because it’s very early in the study.
