Health Benefits of DHA & ARA
Brain & Eye RetinaDHA & ARA Fatty Acids are known to concentrate in a fetus’ developing brain and eye retina at a rate that increases as the pregnancy progresses.* This accumulation of DHA & ARA in the brain and retina continues even after birth.*
Egg PhospholipidsBaby’s Only DHA & ARA source of fatty acids is from the natural goodness of egg-yolk phospholipids. This differs from other vegetarian sources, which are derived from a non-toxigenic soil fungus or microalgae and treated with hexane solvent, acid and bleach.
More Bio-AvailableA recent study concluded that egg phospholipid was more bio-available than other sources used in the study (fish oil and algal oil).1 Because it was more easily incorporated into the body, less egg-phospholipid had to be consumed in order to achieve the desired effect.*
Cholesterol ProductionNature’s One® provides the only source of DHA & ARA containing cholesterol also present in breast milk and believed to assist in normal cholesterol production as the baby matures.*
No Harsh ChemicalsBaby’s Only Essentials® DHA & ARA is not extracted using harsh hexane chemicals. Instead, Nature’s One® uses a gentle and natural aqueous (water) process.
Convenient PacketsIndividual packets make it possible for healthcare professionals to recommend specific dosing of DHA & ARA.
