1. DHA?
The full name of DHA is docosahexaenoic acid, commonly known as "brain gold". The full name of ARA is eicosatetraenoic acid, also called AA.
DHA and ARA are most abundant in the retina and cerebral cortex, so they are of great significance to the development of the retina and brain. Some studies also believe that the two also have a positive impact on the baby's immune function and sleep pattern.
DHA and ARA were first discovered in breast milk, and the ratio is about 1:2. In order to be closer to breast milk, most of the milk powder sold on the market today will choose to add these two ingredients, and the ratio is about 1:2.
