10 Mar 2022 --- DSM is highlighting the benefits of adding arachidonic acid (ARA) to infant formula. ARA is an omega 6 that is naturally balanced with docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in human milk. DHA has been mandatory in infant nutrition since 2020 in the EU, whereas ARA has remained optional. “Human milk is the gold standard of infant nutrition and it always contains both ARA and DHA,” Kristen Finn, lead scientist early life nutrition at DSM, tells NutritionInsight.
