solgar - Ducose hexanoic acid omega 3 - 100 mg - For immune boosting In babies

(DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid) is a polyunsaturated fatty acid, which is an essential nutritional factor for the proper development of the brain and eyes in fetuses. During pregnancy and breastfeeding period also affects the immune response of infants.

Sixty-three women, ages 35-20, participated in the study in their third pregnancy or older. Thirty women received 400 mg of omega-3 fatty acid (DHA) per day, from the 12th week of pregnancy until the fourth month after delivery. Each capsule contains 100 mg of DHA, manufactured by Martek Biosciences Corporation, Soglar, Leonia, NJ, USA. Blood samples were taken from mammalian infants for antibody testing (anti-HBs, immunoglobulin, lymphocyte subgroup phenotypes, and intracellular cytokine production).

Research results:

In examining the presence of cells that mobilize different elements to fight different pathogens, the results were not necessarily different between groups, but the percentage of cells not exposed to antigens was significantly higher in the infant group whose diet was enriched with omega-3 DHA fatty acid. And likely to reduce the inflammatory response. The presence of fatty acids in milk may be of crucial importance for the maturation and function of the baby's immune system. Mother's milk contains a long chain of polyunsaturated fatty acids, which constitute 2% of all fatty acids and cannot be found in formulas without additives extracted from vegetable oils. Red blood cells in breastfed infants have a significantly higher percentage of omega-3 fatty acids and twice as high a dose of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) than infants fed formula-free supplementation.

Conclusions:

The researchers' conclusions are as follows:

• DHA levels decrease in pregnant women and decrease even further as the lactation period extends
• DHA levels decrease with multiple pregnancies - it has been shown that levels were significantly lower in mothers with multiple pregnancies than compared to mothers with one pregnancy history and also when the time difference between all pregnancies was small
• DHA levels in breast milk were correlated with blood DHA levels
• The high demand for DHA has resulted in current recommendations that during pregnancy and lactation, the average dietary intake of DHA should range from 300-200 mg per day

Indeed, current studies state that the diet of a pregnant woman and a breastfeeding woman in the Western world contains a recommended daily allowance of only 60% -20% of omega 3 fatty acids. In 90% of the women examined, DHA intake was much lower than the recommended diet.

Previous studies related to the immune system of infants have compared breastfed infants with formula-fed infants supplemented with polyunsaturated fatty acids or no supplement at all. No study has examined the effect of DHA supplementation on the mother during pregnancy and lactation on the baby's immune system. This new study shows that omega-3 fatty acid supplementation (DHA) during pregnancy and lactation affects cellular and non-humoral immunity of infants.
