Goldenin is the unofficial name given to health products that contain a variety of trace elements and vitamins, among other substances.
DHA, docosahexaenoic acid, commonly known as brain gold, is a very important unsaturated fatty acid for the human body, belonging to the omega-3 unsaturated fatty acid family of important members. DHA is a major component of the growth and maintenance of the nervous system cells, is an important component of the brain and the retina, the content of the human cerebral cortex is as high as 20%, and in the eyes of the retina accounted for the largest proportion of
Expanded Information
Main Effects:
1. Promote Fetal Brain Development
DHA can optimize the composition of phospholipids in the cone cells of the fetal brain during pregnancy. Especially after the fetus reaches 5 months, if artificially stimulate the fetus's sense of hearing, vision and touch, it will cause the neurons of the sensory center of the fetal cerebral cortex to grow more dendrites, which requires the mother to supply more DHA to the fetus at the same time.
2, promote the maturation of retinal photoreceptor cells
DHA not only has an important effect on fetal brain development, but also has an important role in the maturation of retinal photoreceptor cells. DHA can be ingested by pregnant women during pregnancy and then delivered to the fetal brain and retina, resulting in increased maturation of nerve cells.
3, enhance brain cell development
In the cerebral cortex, DHA is not only the main component of the nerve conduction cells, but also the main component of cell membrane formation, most of the DHA will not be digested by gastric juices, and directly into the bloodstream, be absorbed by the liver or brain and other organs, and EPA and linolenic acid is not absorbed, mainly due to the DHA can be through the blood-brain barrier, enter the brain cells, and the same is a part of the blood-brain barrier. The main reason is that DHA can enter the brain cells through the blood-brain barrier, while the same is an unsaturated fatty acid EPA and linoleic acid can not be absorbed by the brain through the blood-brain barrier.
4, reduce postpartum depression
Research shows that 50-75% of women in our country experience a period of postpartum depression with the birth of a child, 10%-15% of new mothers will become very strong, by the terminology known as "postpartum depression". Postpartum depression not only poses a serious threat to the physical health of the mother, but also affects the development of the baby, leading to emotional disorders and behavioral abnormalities in the baby. Adequate amounts of DHA can reduce the incidence of postpartum depression.
