Milk powder with high DHA content

Milk powder with high DHA content can mainly promote fetal brain development. During pregnancy, DHA can optimize the composition of phospholipids in fetal brain pyramidal cells. 

Especially after the fetus is over 5 months old, it artificially stimulates the fetal hearing, vision, and touch, it will cause the neurons of the fetal cerebral cortex sensory center to grow more dendrites, which requires the mother to provide more DHA .

To promote the maturation of retinal light-sensing cells, DHA not only has an important effect on the development of the fetal brain, but also has an important role in the maturation of retinal light-sensing cells. Pregnant women can ingest DHA during pregnancy and then deliver it to the fetal brain and retina to increase the maturity of nerve cells and also promote brain cell development.

Is the higher the DHA content in the milk powder the better?

Although DHA is important, it does not necessarily mean the higher the better, the ratio is actually more important than the content. DHA can be better absorbed by the human body only under the premise of a reasonable ratio with AA.

Excess DHA will produce side effects, such as low immunity and more. The amount of DHA and AA added to the milk powder is determined after a long period of research, and it is based on the content of DHA in the milk of the mothers.

Moreover, children of different months and ages need different DHA. Therefore, the addition of DHA and AA to infant milk powder has very strict restrictions, which clearly states that the content of DHA in the formula milk powder and the cream powder must be less than 0.5%.

How to store milk powder with high DHA content

You can seal the milk powder bag or cover the lid after scooping the milk powder. The spoon and milk powder should be kept separately to avoid the moisture of the milk powder caused after the spoon touches the bottle.

 At the same time, store the milk powder indoors, avoiding light, and the location should be dry and cool and it is best to consume the milk powder within 1 month.

Remember to save milk powder formulas without making the following mistakes:

  1. Avoid putting the milk powder in the refrigerator. In fact, putting the milk powder into the refrigerator makes it easier to absorb moisture in the air and cause agglomeration or deterioration.
  2. Do not reuse old cans. Do not reuse the same jar when filling milk powder to avoid cross-contamination during repeated use.
  3. Do not feed lumpy milk to the baby.  If the milk powder lumps together, it can be brewed for the baby if it can be broken up lightly. But if the lumps are large and hard do not feed your baby with it.
