Introduction | docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is an unsaturated fatty acid, which cannot be synthesized in human body and can only be ingested from food, is an essential fatty acid. It is an indispensable component for the development and function maintenance of brain and nervous tissue, and is found in a large number of brain cells in the human body. |
trait | colorless liquid |
properties | twenty-two carbon hexenoic acid is colorless to light yellow transparent liquid, pure odor-free, tasteless. Twenty-two-hexaenoic acid is composed of n3 series polyunsaturated fatty acids. |
Use | Nutrition Fortifier. Nutrition Fortifier. is to promote brain development and enhance memory in infants and young children. DHA is the main component of fatty acids in the gray matter of the brain, the lack of which will affect mental development. Therefore, it is mainly to promote the brain development of infants and young children and prevent the brain atrophy and aging in the elderly. DHA is one of the most basic components of the human brain nervous system, the content of about 15% in the brain tissue, around 60% of the visual rod cells in the retina are DHA phospholipid molecules. Because DHA has a role in the transmission of signals between brain nerve cells, related memory and thinking function depends on the maintenance and improvement of DHA. Since the ratio of DHA to EPA in breast milk is 4:1, this makes the hydrolysis, absorption and utilization of DHA best. |
