Arachidonic acid

Martek Biosciences has entered into a multi-year, sole-source supply agreement with Milk Powder Solutions, based in Australia. Under the terms of the agreement, Martek will serve as Milk Powder Solutions' exclusive supplier for all of its ARA needs for infant formula products in China and Vietnam under the Gold Cow brand name.

Naturally present in human breast milk, ARA (arachidonic acid) is a fatty acid important to infant development and growth. Clinical studies have demonstrated numerous benefits, including improved mental and visual development, for infants receiving infant formula supplemented with ARA and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), another fatty acid important to infant development. Martek's blend of DHA and ARA, life'sDHA & life'sARA, is a source of these nutrients

Milk Powder Solutions is a specialised dairy ingredient supplier. The company has developed a range of dairy products for industrial and domestic use. Milk Powder Solutions' objective is to utilise Australian and selected international regions that can offer clean dairy products in very large volumes.
