The whey protein content in infant milk powder and formula milk accounts for 60% of the total in protein. For babies, whey protein is a kind of high-quality protein. Because it is easy to be digested and the bioavailability of protein is high, the ideal formula milk powder should simulate the nutritional ratio of breast milk as much as possible.
The ingredients of Otawa's breast milk in the market are similar, but the individual ingredients and quantity are different. Protein in breast milk is 27% α -lactalbumin, while α -lactalbumin in milk only accounts for 4% of all protein. α -whey protein can provide the amino acid combination closest to breast milk, improve the bioavailability of protein, and reduce the total protein, thus effectively reducing the burden on the kidneys.
At the same time, α -lactalbumin also contains neurotransmitters that regulate sleep, which helps babies sleep, promotes brain development, improves body resistance and reduces the occurrence of diseases. Therefore, formula milk powder with α -whey protein content close to breast milk should be preferred. Milk powder is a necessity for babies' growth, which is related to their healthy growth. So when choosing milk powder, we should choose some big brands. Most big brands of infant milk powder adopt OPO super-high quality milk powder formula, which will bring children a healthy and nutritious experience. OPO milk powder formula is a kind of structured fat, and the proportion of 2- palmitic acid is as high as 40%. It simulates the nutritional lipid structure in breast milk from the molecular structure, which is more helpful to improve the baby's absorption, metabolism and utilization of lipids, calcium and other important nutrients.
According to national standards, the protein content of infant milk powder from 0 to 6 months must reach12-18g/100g, and the protein content of infant milk powder from 6 months to 3 years old must reach 15-25g/ 100g. The best protein ratio in infant milk powder should be close to the level of breast milk, that is, whey protein.
Efficacy of five nutrients in milk powder;
(1) protein: Provide nutrition for the body.
(2) Fat: provides nutrition and energy for the body, and provides fragrant milk.
(3) Sugar: Milk contains lactose, which is very important for children's development. It can promote the growth of beneficial bacteria in human intestine, inhibit abnormal fermentation in intestine and benefit intestinal health.
(4) Minerals: Minerals, also known as inorganic salts, are indispensable substances for the human body, including calcium, iron, phosphorus, zinc, copper, manganese and molybdenum. In particular, it is rich in calcium, and the ratio of calcium to phosphorus is reasonable and the absorption rate is high.
(5) Vitamins: Milk contains all known vitamins. Its functions are: Vitamin A promotes normal growth and reproduction, and maintains epithelial tissue and vision; Vitamin B participates in the metabolism of sugar and energy in the body; Vitamin c fights scurvy; Vitamin d can regulate the calcification ability of osteoblasts in various metabolic bone tissues; Vitamin E can resist oxidation and aging.
