High-End DHA Formula Breaks Through with “Structural Revolution” — Analysis of the Advantages of Nucleus DHA Algae Oil Sn-2
On May 20th, Mengniu Ruibuen launched the world’s first Sn-2 DHA infant formula — Ruibuen Qinyi at a press conference. The product features Sn-2 DHA, a structure closer to breast milk, enabling faster absorption, higher efficiency, and superior brain nutrition supplementation.
“Structural Composition” Replaces “Ingredient Variety” as the New Focus
At the event, Academician Huang He of the Chinese Academy of Engineering explained:
“DHA in the Sn-2 form binds more efficiently with phospholipids, directly entering the brain to exert its ‘brain gold’ effects. In breast milk, two-thirds of DHA exists in the Sn-2 form, while conventional formulas contain only one-third, making it difficult to match breast milk’s nutritional level. To address this, we developed Sn-2 fatty acid precision positioning technology, significantly increasing Sn-2 DHA content to enhance infant formula and better support early growth.”
As competition in nutritional formulations intensifies, “structural composition” is replacing “ingredient variety” as the new battleground. Behind this trend, plant-based, structurally precise, and highly absorbable Sn-2 DHA algae oil is becoming a key differentiator for premium brand upgrades.
What is Sn-2 DHA? Why is it Closer to Breast Milk?
DHA, a crucial unsaturated fatty acid, naturally exists in breast milk’s triglyceride structure, with 52.63%–65.15% of DHA esterified at the sn-2 position. In contrast, conventional DHA oils have a random distribution across sn-1/sn-2/sn-3 positions. Research shows:
✅ Sn-2 DHA binds more easily with phospholipids, entering the nervous system.
✅ Directly integrates into brain cell membranes, boosting cognitive and visual development efficiency.
✅ More readily recognized and absorbed by the gut compared to sn-1/sn-3 DHA.
The takeaway: It’s not just about “more DHA”—it’s about “the right structure!”
