The source of lipids, or fats, in the formulas is a blend of palm oil or palm olein, high oleic (safflower or sunflower) oil, coconut oil and soybean oil. Another source of lipids is DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and ARA (arachidonic acid) which are long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. The body can make DHA and ARA from certain other dietary fatty acids, which are found in plant oils and other sources; however, DHA and ARA are also consumed directly in the diet. The DHA and ARA in infant formula are from natural vegetarian sources.
