Arachidonic Acid Oil (ARA/AA)
Arachidonic Acid (ARA) is a polyunsaturated omega-6 fatty acid found in animal fats and certain foods. It is an essential component of cell membranes and plays a role in various physiological functions, including inflammation and the regulation of electrical activity in excitable tissues. ARA oil is derived from sources such as high-quality fungal strains(filamentous fungus Mortierella) and is produced using controlled fermentation processes. The resulting ARA oil product, with its triglyceride molecular structure, is easily absorbed and utilized by the human body and is known for its pleasant odor. It is commonly added to dairy and other nutritional products as a nutritional fortifier. ARA oil is primarily used in infant formula, health foods, and dietary nutritional supplements, and is often incorporated into various healthy food products such as liquid milk, yogurt, and milk-containing beverages.

1. Brain function:
ARA is an essential omega-6 fatty acid for brain development and function.
It maintains brain cell membrane structure, supporting cognitive function and overall brain health.
2. Inflammation and immune response:
ARA serves as a precursor to eicosanoids, which regulate inflammatory and immune responses.
Proper ARA levels are crucial for a balanced immune system and appropriate inflammatory reactions.
3. Skin health:
ARA contributes to healthy skin maintenance and supports skin barrier function.
Its presence in cell membranes can benefit overall skin health and conditions like eczema and psoriasis.
4. Infant development:
ARA is vital for infant nervous system and brain development.
It is a key component of infant formula, ensuring healthy growth and development.
1. Dietary supplements: ARA is an omega-6 fatty acid that is essential for the body’s overall health. It is often included in dietary supplements to support brain function, muscle growth, and overall well-being.
2. Infant formula: ARA is an important component of infant formula, as it plays a crucial role in the development of the nervous system and brain in infants.
3. Skin care products: ARA oil is sometimes used in skin care products for its potential anti-inflammatory and moisturizing properties. It may help to soothe and hydrate the skin, making it a popular ingredient in skincare formulations.
4. Pharmaceutical applications: Arachidonic acid oil has been studied for its potential therapeutic applications, particularly in the treatment of inflammatory conditions and certain diseases.
