Arachidonic acid is a polyunsaturated, essential fatty acid. It is found naturally in human and animal fat as well as in the brain, liver, and glandular tissues of humans and animals. It is a key component of animal phosphatides. Synthetically, arachidonic acid is produced from alpha-linolenic acid using the enzyme 6-desaturase. alpha-linolenic acid is a derivative of linoleic acid. Arachidonic acid acts as a precursor in the biosynthesis of thromboxane’s, leukotrienes, and prostaglandins. Arachidonic acid is an important component of human breast milk and is highly beneficial for infants. Therefore, its usage is growing rapidly in infant formula products and dietary supplements.
