Arachidonic Acid Powder

Have you ever heard of Arachidonic Acid Oil and Arachidonic Acid Powder? Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) are the superstars of the essential fatty acid world, mainly found in fish and seafood. Numerous studies have shown the effects of these fatty acids on health and athletic performance.

Arachidonic acid (ARA), which is less studied, is a family of omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids and a cousin of the omega-3 fatty acid DHA. ARA is converted by the human body from linoleic acid found in many vegetables, nuts, and seeds. It can also be obtained from animal fat (organs) and eggs (yolk), but the content is very low and cannot meet market demand.

In recent years, the fermentative production of arachidonic acid by Mortierella alpine has become the main method of industrial production because of its high ARA content and reasonable oil composition.

As a professional Fatty Acid supplier, we can provide the following items,

Vegan DHA Oil,

ARA Oil, ARA Powder

If you take Arachidonic Acid Powder seriously, you will find that it is a "treasure" nutrient. With the gradual improvement of people's awareness of the nutritional value of ARA and the increasing emphasis on infant nutrition, the demand for ARA powder and Arachidonic Acid Oil in the fields of infant formula food, health food, and biomedicine is gradually increasing, which directly drives the sustainable development of the global ARA industry.

Data shows that the global ARA market sales volume reached 3,091 tons in 2018, and is expected to exceed 4,000 tons by 2025. The compound annual growth rate during 2019-2025 will get about 5% and will show a steady growth trend in the next few years.

Now, let’s talk about the benefits of ARA as follows,

(1) Promote the development of brain and eyesight

ARA is an essential fatty acid in early childhood, and the lack of ARA may have serious adverse effects on the development of human tissues and organs, especially the development of the brain and nervous system.

(2) Second messenger role

Arachidonic acid is an unsaturated fatty acid released from the hydrolysis of membrane phospholipids by phospholipases, which are important regulators of many biochemical processes. It plays an important role in coordinating physiological interactions between cells.

(3) Strengthen muscles and reduce injuries

Muscle injury is an inflammatory process involving a variety of cells. As an inflammatory factor, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) participates in the elongation of muscle sensory cells by binding to its receptors. Although ARA is a direct precursor of PGE2, the findings suggest that increased prostaglandin formation enhances the ability of young people to adapt to resistance training.

(4) Lower blood fat and prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases

Hyperlipidemia is the "culprit" of atherosclerosis, and arteriosclerosis is the chief culprit of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Much evidence shows that polyene fatty acids can combine with blood cholesterol and take it away to lower serum levels.

(5) Prevent and treat diabetes

Many studies have suggested that dyslipidemia is the main pathophysiological factor leading to diabetic nephropathy. Elevated serum levels of arachidonic acid-derived eicosanoids predict the progression of diabetic kidney disease, while changes in fatty acid composition are associated with retinal and systemic inflammation.

(6) Protect the skin and prevent skin diseases

ARA plays an important role in the pathophysiology of many skin diseases, such as psoriasis, acne, urticaria, contact dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, etc.
