How do DHA and ARA support a balanced immune response?
Beneficial amounts of DHA and ARA in early life support the development of a balanced immune response—including resistance to germs and micro-organisms and tolerance to potential allergens. “I am extremely excited about recent research indicating that early and beneficial intakes of DHA (with the Omega 6 fat, ARA) plays an important role in the development of a baby’s immune system, helping to support normal, healthy immune outcomes. Normal healthy immune outcomes may be shown by the lower occurrence of some common symptoms, such as some rashes and wheezing,” explains Dr. Nieman. “It appears to be a very exciting and natural way to add just one more layer of protection against common illness.” DHA and ARA support immune system development in your baby— and support normal brain and eye development. So you can see why it’s critical that your baby gets beneficial amounts.
