In addition, the National Standard for Food Safety Infant Formula (GB 10765-2010) and the National Standard for Food Safety For the Use of Food Nutrition Enhancers (GB 14880-2012) stipulate:
Ø 17 kinds of added nutrients include: choline, inositol, taurine, L-carnitine, docosahexaenoic acid, eicosatetraenoic acid, galacto-oligosaccharides, fructooligosaccharides, fructooligosaccharides, raffinose, 1,3-dioleic acid 2-palmitate triglyceride, lutein, nucleotides, lactoferrin, casein calcium peptides and casein phosphopeptides
Ø 7 kinds of monomer amino acids can be added: L-cystine, L-histidine, L-leucine, L-methionine, L-phenylalanine, L-tryptophan and L-tyrosine and other 7 monomer amino acids.
Ø 6 kinds of probiotics can be added: Bifidobacterium animals, Bifidobacterium lactis, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus iris, Lactobacillus fermentedii, Bifidobacterium breve
secondly:
DHA and AA: Also known as ARA, an omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid, DHA accounts for 25% of the body's brain nerve tissue, and AA accounts for 15%. Two fatty acids, DHA and AA, are also important components of the retina. Therefore, DHA and AA are indispensable for the normal development of the brain and retina, and the maximum amount of nutrients added does not exceed 0.5% and 1% of the total fatty acid content, respectively, if DHA is added, the same amount of AA should be added.
Nucleotides: Breast milk contains a large number of nucleotides, which are importantly related to the formation of infant resistance. The addition of nucleotides to food can promote the synthesis or secretion of lipoproteins in newborns, especially premature infants, and add cmp2.5mg, ump 1.75mg, amp1.5mg, gmp0.5mg, and imp1.0mg per 420KJ food.
Palmoleic acid: It is best not to contain palmoleic acid in formula, and the latest research has found that it will affect the baby's calcium absorption.
Finally, I would like to remind you that the best milk powder cannot be compared to breast milk, and advocate breastfeeding the baby!
