when pregnant, eat a little DHA capsule to improve the IQ of children by 7 points, let the child speak early, walk early; incomes Mp; hellip hears such propaganda, the majority of expectant mothers will inevitably be heartbeat. But, is the role of these DHA health products as amazing as the propaganda? Recently, Ms. Mama found that the information she bought on the package of DHA capsules seemed less rigorous. Are these valuable DHA health products reliable? Miss Xiang is somewhat uncertain.
DHA
product ingredients produced on the same day, but different
women have been pregnant for more than six months. In the early days of pregnancy, when you went to the baby shop to buy goods, a salesperson recommended DHA to her. What the staff told me at that time was that DHA would make children smarter. Madam Xiang said that this sentence hit her pain point at once, and every expectant mother wanted her children to be smarter and better. So Miss Xiang bought a 499 yuan worth of imported American Newman DHA algal oil soft capsule and began to take it on time. One grain per day, one bottle for two months.
when this bottle is about to end, madam Xiang's wife, Mr. Xing, plans to buy several more bottles. I want to buy a drugstore, I feel relieved, but I haven't found many drugstores. So, Mr. Xing went to another chain store of the same brand, and bought a bottle of the same Newman DHA algal oil soft capsule.
although the price and appearance look exactly the same, but Mr. Xing carefully contrasted, but found a different place. The production date of the two bottles is exactly the same, all in June 30, 2015. Brand and packaging look the same, but the ingredients are different. Mr. Xing's two bottles of Newmann DHA alga oil soft capsule, one of which are DHA algal oil, gelatin, water and glycerin, and the other one into DHA algae oil, sunflower seed oil, wheat germ extract, gelatin, glycerin and water.
not only that, Mr. Xing to the State Food and Drug Administration website found that Newman DHA algal oil soft capsule (adult type) did pass the examination and approval, but showed it was a home-made health care product. In view of the possibility that the same product would be divided into import and domestic distribution, Mr. Xing also inquired the catalogue of imported health care products, but did not find a record of the DHA capsule.
manufacturer called to add what auxiliary material
to see what
for different ingredients, recently, Qilu Evening News reporter contacted the production businessman Kim Newman (Shanghai) Food Co., Ltd. The staff said that the same production date of the product, because it is different factories to produce excipients will be different. When the reporter asked what accessories were added, the staff said they saw what accessories were in the factory at that time.
the staff member states that the two ingredients are actually exactly the same, and that DHA algal oil contains sunflower seed oil and wheat germ extract, but one of the packages lists all these ingredients.
in the end of the product is the problem of domestic or import, the staff said that the kind of packaging that Ms. item bought is indeed imported from abroad. The national food and drug administration can not find it on the website because this product is imported as a new resource food, so it does not belong to the imported health care products. And the one that can be found on the website is packed in Shantou, so it belongs to domestic health care products.
reporter survey
sales staff yell, 33 pregnant women 7 in the DHA
Qilu Evening News reporter from the Internet, found a lot of articles or information are said to supplement the benefits of DHA, carefully look at many of the manufacturers are written by DHA, so that people can not distinguish true and false.
How did the sales staff propagandize it online? Recently, reporters have come to a few baby stores in a shopping mall on the city road. There are two or three DHA products taken by pregnant women and children at each store. This DHA is very good, especially high in purity. In a pregnant baby store, I saw a reporter standing in front of the DHA counter, and a salesman came to sell it. It has been proved that if you are pregnant, eating this DHA can improve the IQ of the child by 7 points, and also improve the children's vision and cognitive ability. Sales staff said: later children will walk and speak sooner than other children. If this condition is best, it will be much more beneficial to children.
under the offensive of salesmen, there are quite a number of pregnant women taking DHA. Recently, the reporter interviewed 33 pregnant women in Shandong maternal and child health care hospital and Qianfo Hill Hospital of Shandong Province, of which 7 pregnant women are eating DHA. Almost all of these pregnant women are sold by mother or child shop or recommended by friends. Only one of them was recommended by the doctor when he was in hospital. The doctor said that his relatives had sold this, and I bought it from his relatives. Ms. Zhang said.
experts suggest that
does it need to see specific conditions, excessive immunity to
pregnant women and children really need to supplement DHA? The deputy director and Secretary General of the Shandong nutrition society, Professor of nutrition at Shandong University, said that DHA is the long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid needed by the human body, and the body is suitable for the body. The appropriate level of DHA is beneficial to the development of fetal nerve and visual function at early stage. The research shows that the higher DHA level in the mother body is related to the higher cognitive ability and memory ability of children. Therefore, the special population, infant, pregnant woman and milk mother have high demand for DHA.
however, current research does not prove any additional benefits of eating more DHA supplements. Lin Xinying said whether the DHA needs to be supplemented depends on the specific circumstances. If pregnant women often eat fish, there is no need to supplement DHA.
in Lin Xinying's view, the phenomenon of exaggerating the deification of DHA on the market is the sales strategy of businessmen. The supplement of DHA is definitely not the more the better. Because DHA is a kind of unsaturated fatty acid, it has the characteristics of instability, easy to be oxidized and so on. Excessive intake will produce the side effects such as low immunity, increase of digestive burden and so on.
