Arachidonic acid is essential for brain and visual nerve development. Multiple tests have shown that the average Mental Development Index (MDI) of breast-fed and ARA+DHA infant formula fed infants scored 7 points higher than that of infants who consumed ordinary formula without ARA & DHA. Tests have also showed that there was a 3.16 point difference in the cognitive ability between the breast-fed or ARA+DHA formula fed infants and the ordinary formula fed infants.

    ARA is one of the most important Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFA) because it is the precursor substance of 20-carbon derivatives such as prostaglandin, leukotrienes and A2 TXA2 . These derivatives benefit physiological activity and immunoregulation.

    Cabio has two product series: CABIO ARA oil and microencapsulated ARA powder.

    CABIO ARA oil has a pure natural triglyceride structure and good fatty acid composition. The product has a pleasant odor and a bright color with an extremely low acid value and peroxide value. All products are thoroughly tested to verify it is free of contaminants such as heavy metals and chemical residues.

    CABIO ARA powder has been strictly designed to meet the specific requirements of the infant formula production process. It has good particle size, flowability, dispersibility, color and odor. In addition to the physical characteristics, our customers recognise the high quality, product stability and food safety standards of our product.

All of our products are produced using a very strict system of GMPs and Quality Asurance programs starting with the raw material supply chain and all the way  through customer service. This ensures the safety and quality of all product supplied by CABIO to their customers.
