Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is Arachidonic Acid (ARA), and why is it important?

A: ARA is an essential omega-6 fatty acid that is a fundamental building block for the brain, eyes, and cell membranes. It is vital for infant development and supports immune and inflammatory responses in people of all ages. 

Q2: Is ARA Oil safe for consumption?

A: Absolutely. Our ARA Oil is produced under strict quality and safety protocols. It is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) for its intended uses in food and dietary supplements.

Q3: What is the main difference between the 40% and 50% ARA Oil?

A: The difference is the concentration of the active ingredient, Arachidonic Acid. The 50% variant offers higher potency, which can be beneficial for space-constrained formulations (like softgels) or high-potency products. The 40% version is an excellent, cost-effective choice for standard fortification.

Q4: How should I store ARA oil to maintain its quality?

A: Store in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place (ideally below 25°C), away from direct light, heat, and oxygen. This will prevent oxidation and preserve quality throughout its shelf life.
