What are the raw materials of brain-enhancing health food?

The primary indicator for evaluating human aging is brain aging

traditional raw materials

Docosahexaenoic acid DHA, commonly known as "brain gold", belongs to the Omega-3 series of polyunsaturated fatty acids, is the main component of cell membranes, and widely exists in the human brain, central nervous system and retina

DHA oils are both food additives and new food ingredients, and can be used in almost all types of food

Arachidonic acid ARA Arachidonic acid ARA belongs to the omega-6 series of polyunsaturated fatty acids and is an essential fatty acid for human body.

ARA oils are both food additives and novel food ingredients and can be used in almost all types of food

Taurine Taurine, also known as β-aminoethanesulfonic acid, was first isolated from bezoar, hence the name

China has included taurine as a nutritional fortifier

new raw materials

Bird's nest acid Bird's nest acid (N-acetylneuraminic acid) was originally crystallized from bovine subfrontal adenomucin by adding acidic hydrolyzate and found that it is widely distributed in human tissues, especially the highest content in the brain

Bird's nest acid can promote brain development and improve memory

Phosphatidylserine PS phospholipids are known as "advanced neuronutrients for the brain".

The cephalin group includes phosphatidylcholine, sphingomyelin, phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol, etc.

　　Milk fat globule membrane MFGM The milk fat in human and mammalian milk is formed in the secretory cells of the mammary gland, and is uniformly dispersed in the milk as a tiny globule, surrounded by a thin membrane, which is called a membranous structure.

　　MFGM has an emulsifying effect, which can not only prevent the aggregation of fat globules, but also prevent the action of enzymes, so that it can be emulsified and dispersed in milk to maintain the special state of milk fat

　　Human milk oligosaccharide HMOs HMOs are the third most abundant solid substance in breast milk after lactose and fat, about 5-15 g/L

　　Both 3'-SL (3' sialyllactose) and 6'-SL (6' sialyllactose) are highly sialylated HMOs in breast milk

　　Studies have found that HMOs can not only affect the development of intestinal flora, enhance intestinal barrier function, regulate immune system development, but also may regulate brain development
