Use of Essential fatty acids (EFA), which are well-known for their contribution toward cellular metabolism, is gaining momentum as precursors nourishing the cognitive and cardiovascular health in infants. Omega 3 derivatives, primarily DHA, have firmly established themselves as ‘brain nourishing’ ingredients used in infant formulas, and this adoption is further estimated to scale new heights in 2019 and beyond.
