Description

DHA & ARA long chain fatty acids are important for infant development. These fats are known to concentrate in the gray matter of the baby’s brain and eye retina starting in the third trimester of pregnancy. Breast milk continues to provide an abundance of these fatty acids once a baby is born. If breast milk is not available, then a baby requires a dietary source of these fats, either by synthesizing them from precursor fats (linolenic/alpha linoleic fatty acids) as found in Baby’s Only Organic® pediatric formulas; or by supplementing with Baby’s Only® DHA & ARA Fatty Acids which are "preformed" DHA & ARA fatty acids.**

Baby’s Only Essentials® DHA & ARA Fatty Acid is naturally derived from the goodness of Egg Phospholipids using an aqueous (water) process. This differs from C. cohnii oil (algae) & M. aplina oil (fungus) used in infant formulas, which are treated with hexane solvent, acid and bleach.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Q. Should I use Baby’s Only Essentials® DHA & ARA if my child has egg sensitivies?
    A. Baby’s Only Essentials® DHA & ARA supplement is sourced from egg yolk. Typically egg sensitivities are the result of protein found in the egg white, not the yolk. Even so, if the child has a history of acute allergies or egg sensitivities, consult your healthcare professional first.

    Q. Should I add DHA & ARA supplement to Baby’s Only Organic® formula?
    A. Baby’s Only Organic® contains higher quantities of precursor fats that are synthesized by the human body into DHA and ARA as needed. However, it is questionable whether during times of rapid growth and development the body can manufacture an optimal supply of DHA & ARA to meet the baby’s needs. Medical studies remain mixed as to the necessity for dietary supplementation of DHA & ARA during these times. Many parents are advised to take precautionary measures by supplementing with DHA & ARA to insure every nutritional advantage. If you are using a formula with linoleic acid of less than 1000 mg per 100 k/cal (refer to nutritional label or call manufacturer), consider switching formulas or supplementing the formula with Baby’s Only Essentials® DHA & ARA.

    Q. How is Baby’s Only Essentials® DHA & ARA different from the Fatty Acids found in the leading infant formulas?
    A. In 2001, US infant formula manufacturers began adding a novel source of DHA & ARA that is manufactured by Martek Biosciences Corp. This DHA is derived by two strains of algae; the ARA is manufactured using a non-toxigenic soil fungus. These algae and fungus are grown by the manufacturer in stainless steel tanks, extracted using hexane solvent then bleached and deodorized for purification.
    Baby’s Only Essentials® is the only naturally derived source of DHA & ARA available for purchase. It is derived from egg phospholipid (egg yolk) using a gentle aqueous (water) process. Egg phospholipid also contains Choline, which is an important nutrient ne
