DHA oil

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is an omega-3 fatty acid that is a primary structural component, cerebral cortex, skin, sperm, testicles and retina. It can be synthesized from alpha-linolenic acid or obtained directly from maternal milk or fish oil. DHA’s structure is a carboxylic acid(~oic acid) with a 22 carbon chain and six cis double bonds, the first double bond is located at the third carbon from the omega end. Its trivial name is cervonic acid, its systematic name is all-cis-docosa-4,7,10,13,16,19-hexa-enoic acid, and its shorthand name is 22:6(n-3) in the nomenclature of fatty acids.

The essential n-3 fatty acid α linolenic acid (C18:3) serves as an energy carrier and precursor for the synthesis of EPA (C20:5) and DHA (C22:6) into which it is converted by chain elongation and introduction of extra double bonds. EPA is an important component of the phospholipids of cell membranes and lipoproteins. It also serves as a precursor in the synthesis of eicosanoids, which have a regulatory function on tissue hormones. DHA is a structural component in the cell membranes, particularly the nervous tissue of the brain, and plays an important role both for the synapses and the cells of the retina.

1.DHA is widely used as a food supplement,it was first used primarily in infant formulas,to promote fetal brain development.

2.DHA has the antioxidant and anti-aging function.

3.DHA can improve Blood Circulation,and lower blood pressure,it can prevention and cure cerebral thrombosis.

4.DHA also can reducing blood fat.

5.DHA can help the transmission of nerves in the brain.

1. DHA is suitable for enrichment of basic food products especially dairy-based products.

2. DHA is suitable in particular for enrichment of infant formula and maternal nutrition products where is a specific need for DHA supplementation.

3. DHA can be used for brainimprovement, improve memory and thinking ability, memory loss, Alzheimer’s disease have a certain effect.
