Hydrolyzed protein is protein processed by hydrolysis process, which cuts the intact macromolecular protein into small molecular protein or even free amino acids. Milk powder with hydrolyzed protein as protein source is called hydrolyzed protein milk powder. According to the degree of hydrolysis, hydrolyzed protein milk powder can be divided into three categories: partially (moderately) hydrolyzed protein milk powder, deeply hydrolyzed protein milk powder and completely hydrolyzed protein milk powder.
So can hydrolyzed protein milk powder be eaten for a long time?
According to experts, because the protein molecular weight of completely hydrolyzed protein is very small, the immune system will not produce an effective immune response to it; Although the molecular weight of partially hydrolyzed protein is much smaller than that of ordinary milk, it still retains some peptides with immune activity, so it can gently train the immune system. If protein is completely decomposed into amino acid molecules, it will become desensitized nutritional milk powder based on amino acid molecules, which is mainly used to treat infant allergies and is not suitable for long-term consumption.
Although hydrolyzed milk powder can avoid children's allergies and help children digest and absorb better, in fact, we do not recommend children to eat hydrolyzed milk powder for a long time! Because hydrolyzed milk powder will not burden children, but it can't exercise children's stomach well. If you give your child hydrolyzed milk powder for a long time, it may cause the child's stomach to be fragile, produce some bad results, and increase the burden on the child!
What are the disadvantages of eating hydrolyzed milk powder for a long time?
It may have an impact on children's growth and development: children's growth and development need to go through a process! If you give your child some hydrolyzed and easily absorbed milk powder for a long time, it will affect the child's normal growth and development, the child's stomach will not be exercised, the level of enzyme secretion in the body will also decrease, and the child will not absorb enough nutrition, which may lead to some serious consequences. Therefore, everyone must pay attention to changing milk powder for children in time after their allergic symptoms are relieved to avoid some bad results!
Of course it depends on the actual situation of the baby. Every baby's situation is different, and his constitution is different.
