Nutrient composition and health care product for promoting development of nervous system

Abstract

The invention relates to a nutrient composition and a health care product for promoting the development of a nervous system. The nutrient composition comprises nutrients consisting of DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) and ALA (Alpha Lipoic Acid), wherein the mass ratio of DHA to ALA is 1:20 to 20:1. The composition of unsaturated fatty acid DHA and ALA has the functions of promoting the development of intelligence and vision; and the functional effects of the composition are prior to the effects of only supplying the same amount of DHA or ALA. DHA existing in the composition can satisfy the DHA direct requirements of an organism, and simultaneously, ALA is also continuously converted into DHA, thus the DHA subsequent requirements of the organism during a long time can be satisfied; and furthermore, ALA can also be used for activating the enzyme participating in the conversion from ALA to DHA in the organism, therefore, the conversion and synthesis capability of DHA from other foods can be increased when an individual stops ingesting a DHA / ALA product and the promotion action can be kept for a long time.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a nutrient composition, more specifically, to a nutrient composition and a health care product for promoting nervous system development. Background technique [0002] Unsaturated fatty acids are essential fatty acids for the human body, including monounsaturated fatty acids such as oleic acid and polyunsaturated fatty acids such as LA (linoleic acid), LNA (linolenic acid), AA (arachidonic acid), DHA (20 Dicarbahexaenoic acid), polyunsaturated fatty acids are divided into ω-3 series such as DHA, ALA (α-linolenic acid) and ω-6 series due to their structural characteristics and different ways of mutual transformation in human body metabolism Such as LA, AA, etc. [0003] DHA is an indispensable and important part of brain cells and nerve tissues, and is very important for maintaining cell shape and physiological functions. The increase of the content of DHA in the biomembrane will affect the fluidity of the membrane, the permeab...

Problems solved by technology

In the case that the body urgently needs to supplement DHA, such as simply supplementing ALA and relying on the DHA transformed from ALA, the amount cannot effectively meet the physiological needs, and the ingested ALA cannot be effectively and quickly converted into DHA. The bioavailability of acid is low, resulting in the waste of this nutrient. At the same time, excessive ALA in the body will also undergo peroxidation due to the unsaturated double bonds contained in its structure, causing lipid peroxidation in the body and causing many health hazards.

[0007] It can be seen from the above that due to the metabolic transformation relationship between DHA and ALA, and the competitive metabolic relationship between DHA and ALA and other unsaturated fatty acids, simple supplementation of DHA will affect the absorption and utilization of other unsaturated fatty acids in the body, while Simple supplementation of ALA cannot meet the body's sufficient demand for DHA due to the low conversion rate of DHA. At the same time, excessive intake will reduce the bioavailability of ALA in the body and bring many health hazards.

In the actual production of DHA products, it is difficult to determine the absolute amount and appropriate content ratio of the two nutrients DHA and ALA, so it is difficult to determine the amount of raw materials containing these two nutrients, which will affect the use effect of DHA products
