Yesterday I posted a good article about the use of raw milk and skimmed milk powder for milk powder, the use of raw milk must be better than the use of skimmed milk powder, just like the pear just plucked from the tree must be more delicious than the canned pear that has been processed many times and preserved for a long time, because the freshly picked pear is fresher. Milk is even more so, raw milk as raw milk powder must be fresher than skimmed milk powder that has been processed once and has been stored for a long time, closer to breast milk, because there are many active factors in raw milk, and there is no skimmed milk powder.
But there are many people who do not agree with my statement, because we have developed a lot of so-called imported milk powder, and the raw materials for the production of milk powder that claim to import milk sources are basically skimmed milk powder, and completely domestic milk powder such as flag milk, the raw materials used by Feihe Dairy are raw milk, is it possible to judge the domestic flag dairy products by virtue of this, Feihe Dairy must be better than imported milk powder? All I can say is that this is only one aspect. The quality of milk powder is also related to the formula of milk powder, a good formula is very balanced in nutrition, and it will be rich in all the substances that the baby needs to grow and develop. Some mothers say that my baby drinks this milk powder body long, then this milk powder is good, in fact, it is not, the baby not only has to grow the body, the brain also needs to develop, the eyes also need to develop, the bones also need to develop, a nutritionally balanced formula milk powder has this nutrition.
Let's take the formula of this banner milk powder as an example to see the various nutrients in the milk powder and its role, and the mothers can also see whether the milk powder your baby drinks has this nutrient!
(a) Protein
Protein is one of the necessary nutrients of the human body, is the material basis of life, is the basic organic matter that constitutes cells, is the main bearer of life activities, protein accounts for 16%-20% of the human body, and its basic component is amino acids.
tryptophan
Essential amino acids, which contribute to your baby's neurodevelopment, are important factors in regulating sleep, appetite, and mood.
Whey protein
The main protein components in whey are α-whey protein, β-lactoglobulin, α-lactalbumin, protease-beki, serum albumin and immunoglobulin, each with unique biological activity; other components present in small quantities, such as lactoferrin and lactoperoxidase, can also be isolated from whey and are also high-value food ingredients. Rich in tryptophan, tryptophan helps the baby's neurodevelopment and is an important factor in regulating sleep, appetite and mood.
α-Whey protein action
Provides a combination of amino acids closer to breast milk, improving protein absorption and utilization and reducing allergies. Rich in cysteine and methionine (methionine), they maintain antioxidant levels in the body and are a very good immune-boosting protein.
Rich in tryptophan, tryptophan helps the baby's neurodevelopment and is an important factor in regulating sleep, appetite and mood.
Streamline (1) increase α-whey protein to make the protein closer to human milk;
(2) Increases gastric emptying, reduces curd formation, reduces inflammation of the small intestine;
(3) Prebiotic effect, bifidobacteria and lactobacillus are both human milk levels.
Lactoferrin (LF)
(1) Antibacterial and bacteriostatic, antiviral effects, regulate the body's immune function, enhance the body's ability to resist diseases.
(2) Promote the growth of beneficial bacteria in the intestine and adjust the intestinal microbial flora.
(3) Stimulate and strengthen the absorption of iron in the intestine, improve the absorption of iron ions in the intestine, and reduce infant anemia.
taurine
Also known as α-aminoethanesulfonic acid, taurine is an amino acid that cannot synthesize proteins, but has important physiological functions. It helps to promote the brain tissue and intellectual development of infants and young children, improve nerve conduction and visual function, improve endocrine status, and enhance human immunity. Simply put, it is to help the baby to have a bright heart and not to love to be sick. The human body has very little synthetic taurine, mainly relying on taurine in food to meet the needs of the body, and most formulas are currently added.
Simplification is (improve nerve conduction, visual function to promote the body's digestion and absorption of calcium and fat. Promotes bone, brain development, and nervous system improvement)
α-Lactoalbumin
A-Lactoalbumin promotes the synthesis of tryptophan and pineal voxels, and is known by scientists as a "natural sleep-relieving factor" that helps improve sleep and soothe nerves. In addition, α-lactoalbumin can provide a combination of amino acids close to breast milk, improve the bioavailability of protein, reduce the total amount of protein, and effectively reduce the burden on the kidneys. At the same time α-lactoalbumin is more easily absorbed by the human intestine and is not easy to constipate.
casein
Casein is a large, hard, dense, extremely difficult to digest and decompose curd (curds), it is generally believed that it is not easy to be directly digested and absorbed by the baby, accounting for 30%-40% of breast milk, a large number of milk protein, even up to 80%. It is also said that the β-casein in cow cheese protein is divided into A1 and A2, and the A2 type is similar to the β-casein in breast milk and is easily digested and absorbed.
Cpp (casein phosphopeptide)
Using cow's milk casein as raw material, the biologically active polypeptide prepared through biotechnology can be used in various nutrition and health foods, and can effectively promote the absorption and utilization of divalent mineral nutrients such as calcium, iron and zinc.
(1) Promote the absorption of calcium by the small intestine.
(2) Promote the use of calcium by bones.
(3) Promote the use of calcium in the teeth.
Casein polypeptide
It can be directly absorbed by the small intestine, actively stimulate the body's autoimmune potential, promote the production and activity of the immune system lymphocytes specific antibody and enhance the activity, fundamentally improve the immune system, strengthen the body's immune defense line against a variety of viruses and germs, and achieve the effect of active immunity and both symptoms and root causes.
immunoglobulin
In the human respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract inhibition and neutralization of invading viral bacteria, comprehensively regulate the balance of the immune system.
Hydrolyzed proteins
Hydrolyzed protein milk powder is to treat the protein in the milk powder first, through the hydrolysis process to make the original protein molecules smaller, which makes people who are originally allergic to proteins easy to absorb because the protein molecules become smaller, the body's immune system will not have an effect on it, and there will be no allergy symptoms.
Hydrolyzed protein milk powder can be divided into partially hydrolyzed and fully hydrolyzed protein milk powder, completely hydrolyzed protein milk powder its taste is poor without milk powder taste, mainly suitable for people with severe allergies to milk protein, the average child is difficult to accept its taste. The degree of hydrolysis of partial hydrolyzed protein milk powder is about 5--70%, and the taste is much better than that of fully hydrolyzed milk powder, which is more acceptable.
L-Carnitine
An amino acid that promotes the conversion of fat into energy, red meat is the main source of L-carnitine.
Associated with energy production and fat metabolism, infants have a lower carnitine synthesis capacity and are essential nutrients for infant conditions.
L-Methionine
It is a type of methionine (L type and D type), which is one of the essential amino acids of the human body. It can prevent and treat the harm of toxic metals and non-metals to the human body.
Extension (is one of the essential amino acids that make up the human body and is involved in protein synthesis. Because it cannot be generated in the body on its own, it must be obtained from the outside. L type can be directly absorbed and utilized by the body, can increase appetite, while methionine in the body into glutathione peptide, is to prevent lead, cadmium, mercury caused damage to the body of important substances. It combines with toxic metals that enter the human body and becomes a soluble substance that is excreted with bile, playing a role in detoxification and detoxification. ）
(ii). Lipids
Lipids are one of the important nutrients needed by the human body, and it plays an important role in supplying human energy with protein and carbohydrates, which are the three major nutrients for production capacity. Lipids are also components of human cell tissue, such as cell membranes and nerve myelin sheaths must have lipids involved.
fat
It is the main thermal energy source to ensure the growth of the baby, and it is also an important source of essential fatty acids and fat-soluble vitamins.
linoleic acid
It is the N-6 group of essential fats in the baby, which plays an important role in maintaining the function of the baby's skin and myocardium, and linoleic acid can be converted into ARA in the baby's body, which is the precursor of ARA.
α-linolenic acid
The N-3 group of essential fats in the baby, in protecting the baby's cardiovascular, can improve the baby's brain development and brain nerve function, enhance the brain cell information function, promote the normal development of the human brain, through metabolism, can produce DHA, DPA, EPA, etc., and supplemental DHA can only play a partial role. Professional points: α-linolenic acid is the parent of DHA.
What is the role of opo (★ scratch the point, many milk powders do not have this opo, which is why many milk powder babies drink on fire)
Its structure is very similar to the fat in breast milk, more affinity with the human body, promotes intestinal digestion and absorption, reduces fire, promotes calcium absorption, and is beneficial to bone development.
DHA aliases and functions
The alias is: docosahexaenoic acid
Abbreviation for unsaturated fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid, which belongs to a type of polyunsaturated fatty acid, also known as brain gold. A large number of photosensitors that form the retina are a component of the cerebral cortex, which plays an important role in the brain and vision, and is an indispensable nutrient for the baby's brain development and retinal development.
Extended (a-linolenic acid is a good source of supplementation with DHA, safe without any side effects, and guarantees an adequate supply of DHA. At the same time, the addition of lutein can promote the development of the retina of the infant brain, and promote the absorption of DHA by the brain, which plays a role in promoting mutual absorption. ）
ARA aliases and functions
The scientific name is eicoscarpenelic acid, also known as arachidonic acid
It is also a genus of Omega-6 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are important substances for the development of the human brain and optic nerve, and play an important role in improving intelligence and enhancing visual acuity.
phospholipid
It is a lipid-like compound containing phospholipid roots and is the basis of life. The cell membrane is composed of about 40% protein and about 50% lipids (mainly phospholipids). It is composed of lecithin, inositol phospholipids, brain phospholipids, etc. These phospholipids play a corresponding function for various parts and organs of the human body. Phospholipids can play a major role in activating cells, maintaining metabolism, basal metabolism and balanced secretion of hormones, enhancing the body's immunity and regeneration.
PS
Phosphatidylserine. (It is a rare essence of lecithin, and is known as a new "smart nutrient" after choline and "brain gold" DHA.) ）
PS (Phosphatidylserine) Action:
(1) Improve attention period, concentration, academic performance, improve overactive state;
(2) PS and DHA have a synergistic effect, DHA can promote the accumulation of PS;
(3) PS can promote the effective use of DHA, and studies have shown an increase of 10 times.
Carbohydrates/sugars
It is composed of three elements: carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, and carbohydrates are the main components and main energy supply substances of the cell structure of life, and have the important function of regulating cell activity.
lactose
It is a kind of carbohydrate, which can be decomposed into a lactose and b lactose, providing the energy needed for the baby's growth, and can also decompose lactose oligosaccharides to promote the growth of beneficial bacteria in the baby's intestines.
Classification and role of lactose?
In nature, the most important carbohydrates that remain in milk are decomposed into glucose as galactose, which is very important for the development of young children and is an important component of cerebrosine.
Lactose promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria in the intestine, is conducive to intestinal bonding, enhances the absorption of calcium, provides energy, and is superior to other carbohydrates.
Lactose is a disaccharide unique to mammalian milk, which is composed of one molecule of glucose and one molecule of galactose. The human body can only absorb monosaccharides, and lactose is a disaccharide, that is, it is made of two monosaccharides
A glucose and a galactose are made up of sugars, so after lactose enters the human body, it needs digestive enzymes to break it down into those two simple sugars before it can be absorbed. Under the catalytic action of β-lactase, lactose is hydrolyzed to give galactose.
Bifidobacterium fermented lactose produces galactose, which is a component of cerebrosines in the brain nervous system that is closely related to the rapid growth of the brain after birth in infants.
Galacto-oligosaccharide GOS
They can be used by the 8 beneficial bacteria in the human intestine, which can inhibit the growth and reproduction of harmful bacteria in the human intestine, and can improve the digestion and absorption function of the human intestine. The digestive function of newborns is relatively weak, so infant milk powder is added with the nutrient content of galactose-oligosaccharide.
Galactose oligosaccharide has strong acid resistance and heat resistance, and will not lose its original characteristics due to the decomposition of high temperature sterilization and human stomach acid during processing, while fructooligosaccharides do not have these characteristics. Galactose oligosaccharides can be effectively utilized by bifidum B bacteria and lactic acid rod A bacteria at the same time.
Fructooligosaccharide FOS
Low calorific energy value does not lead to infant obesity.
(1) Because it cannot be utilized by oral bacteria (referring to mutant streptococcus Smutans), it has an anti-caries effect.
(2) It has a protective effect on intestinal mucosal cells and liver, thereby preventing the occurrence of diseased bowel cancer and enhancing the body's immunity.
(3) It can reduce the content of cholesterol and triglycerides in the serum.
(4) Promote the absorption of nutrients, especially the absorption of calcium.
(5) Prevention and treatment of diarrhea and constipation.
Fructooligosaccharides
Polyfructose is made of chicory root, or Jerusalem artichoke root tubers as raw materials, after extraction and filtration, removal of proteins, minerals, spray drying and other steps, the average degree of polymerization is controlled at about 23 or more.
Polyfructose is also an excellent water-soluble dietary fiber, which can increase the intake of dietary fiber in the human body after intake, prevent constipation and colon cancer, reduce blood cholesterol, and stabilize blood sugar levels.
Bifid factor combinations (prebiotic combinations)
Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) + galactose oligosaccharides (GOS) are used to promote the growth of beneficial bacteria, inhibit the number of harmful bacteria, create a beneficial intestinal environment for the baby, help the baby better absorb, and improve immunity.
Probiotics
Refers to the improvement of host microbiome balance and play a beneficial role, to improve the health level and health of the host of the live bacteria preparation and its metabolites. Common ones are lactic acid bacteria, bifidobacteria, yeast and so on.
BID probiotics, what is it, is the effect obvious after adding?
The intestinal flora of breastfed infants is dominated by beneficial bacteria, and BIDTM Complex Probiotic (Built-in Defense) is a combination of the famous LGG® and bifidobial probiotic Bb-12, which increases the number of beneficial bacteria in the baby's intestines, helps to strengthen the baby's body immunity, and reduces the chance of intestinal infections and allergies.

Promotes digestive health and reduces gastrointestinal disorders; makes the skin healthier; prevents and relieves severe migraines; promotes blood circulation and lowers blood pressure; alleviates diarrhea.
folic acid
Foreign studies have shown that the addition of folic acid to baby food under 3 years of age helps to promote the growth of brain cells and has the effect of improving intelligence, folic acid is an important nutrient for pregnant women to ensure the development of the fetal nervous system, and helps to reduce the occurrence of neural tube malformations.
pantothenic acid
Vitamin B5, which helps with cell formation and maintains normal development and the development of the central nervous system, converts sugar or fat into energy and reduces the symptoms of milk allergies in infants and young children. It is a nutritional element that the human body cannot lack, and pantothenic acid is not up to standard, which can lead to symptoms such as irritability, indigestion, and significant reduction of antibodies in children.
biotin
Helps the human body metabolize fat, plays a good role in skin and hair growth, and can alleviate the symptoms of eczema in infants and young children, if it is lacking, it will cause nervous symptoms such as irritability and sleepiness in infants and young children.
(4) Minerals and trace elements
phosphorus
Phosphorus is found in all cells of the human body, is necessary to maintain bones and teeth, and is involved in almost all physiological chemical reactions. In the absence of phosphorus, niacin (also known as vitamin B3) cannot be absorbed; the normal function of phosphorus requires vitamins (vitamin foods) D and calcium (calcium foods) to maintain.
potassium
As one of the important components in human muscle tissue and nerve tissue, potassium can regulate the appropriate osmotic pressure in cells and the acid-base balance of body fluids, and participate in the metabolism of sugars and proteins in cells.
magnesium
Magnesium is widely distributed in nature and is one of the essential elements of the human body. An essential element involved in the normal life activities and metabolic processes of the organism. Magnesium affects a variety of biological functions of cells: it affects the transport of potassium and calcium ions, regulates the transmission of signals, and participates in energy metabolism, protein and nucleic acid synthesis.
calcium
It is an important driving force for the development of the baby's bones, and when it is fused with lactose, protein, and vitamin D, the baby is more likely to absorb it.
iron
Participating in the manufacture of hemoglobin is an indispensable part of the oxygen production of the baby's body.
zinc
(1) Promoting the growth and development of the human body is the key to the growth of brain cells, and zinc deficiency will affect the function of the brain and reduce brain cells.
(2) Maintain the normal appetite of the human body, zinc deficiency will lead to a decline in taste, anorexia, partial food and even pica.
(3) Enhance human immunity: zinc is a nutrient for the development of the thymus of the immune organ, and only a sufficient amount of zinc can effectively ensure the development of the thymus gland, normally differentiate T lymphocytes, and promote cellular immune function.
iodine
Iodine is one of the essential trace elements of the human body, and a lack of iodine can cause goiter.
selenium
Selenium is an essential trace mineral nutrient for the human body, and the total selenium content of the human body itself is 6-20mg. Improve immunity, prevent infection with diseases, and ensure the selenium intake of the fetus and the main baby. Children grow, develop intellectually, improve malnutrition, protect vision, improve disease resistance.
copper
Copper is an essential trace mineral. Lack of copper can cause anemia, hair abnormalities, bone and arterial abnormalities, and even brain disorders. It has an important impact on the development and function of the blood, central nervous system and immune system, hair, skin and bone tissue, as well as the brain and internal organs such as liver and heart.

chlorine
Chlorine is one of the essential macronal elements of the human body, which is necessary for maintaining the balance of body fluids and electrolytes, and is also an essential component of gastric juice.
(5) Others
lutein
Lutein is a selective ingredient.
Lutein is an important antioxidant that is a member of the carotenoid family (a natural fat-soluble pigment found in a group of plants), also known as "phylaxilins", which coexist in nature with zeaxanthin.
Lutein and zeaxanthin constitute the main components of plant pigments such as vegetables, fruits, flowers, etc., and are also the main pigments of the macular area of the retina of the human eye. Human eyes contain a high content of lutein, this element is the human body can not synthesize itself, must rely on the intake of lutein to supplement, if the lack of this element, the eyes will be blind. The addition of lutein to infant formula can help your baby's vision develop.
ß-carotene
It belongs to carotenoids, which is provitamin A and can be converted into vitamin A without causing an overdose of vitamin A. Helps improve immunity and reduce the occurrence of diseases.
Natural carotene
Extracted from algae plants, containing 80% β carotene, 10% α carotene and 10% other carotene combinations, it has a better nutritional fortification effect than single β carotene. More than 95% of the currently commercially available infant formula is chemically synthesized β-carotene (twice as cheap as natural carotene, but the absorption rate is far less than that of natural carotene).
The role of 5 nucleotides
Nucleotides are the constituent units of nucleic acids, nucleic acids are the basic components of organisms, important immune substances needed by the human body, participate in all physiological and metabolic processes of the human body, and support immune upgrading, digestive system health and growth and development.
Breast milk contains a variety of nucleotides such as uridic acid (UMP), cytidine (CMP), adenylate (AMP), guanylate (GMP), inosinic acid (IMP), which is an important element of cell repair and growth, and is also the main immune component rich in breast milk;
Helps activate lymphocyte vitality, raises immunoglobulin levels, and plays a role in improving infant immunomodulatory function and memory.
(Simplified: Promotes baby's intestinal development and improves immunity)
choline
It is a precursor to the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which has the effect of promoting brain development, improving memory and information transmission.
Wild walnut oil, what the role is
Brain development
Walnut oil is rich in linoleic acid, linolenic acid, phospholipids and other important substances such as brain function metabolism and the composition of nerve cells. α-linolenic acid and linoleic acid are fatty acids that the human body must but cannot synthesize on its own and can only be ingested from food, and it is also a precursor to brain gold DHA and ARA. Linolenic acid plays an important role in the healthy development of the baby's kidneys, the baby's kidneys are good, and the hair will naturally be dark and shiny.
Laxative
The proportion of Ω-3, Ω-6 fatty acids in walnut oil is close to breast milk, which is conducive to the digestion and absorption of the baby, and will not cause the baby's gastrointestinal burden, and the linoleic acid in it can moisten the intestines and laxatives and alleviate constipation.
Multi-nutrient
In addition to being rich in unsaturated fatty acids, walnut oil also contains a variety of natural vitamins - vitamins A, D, E, K, carotene and other fat-soluble vitamins and minerals, which can help babies develop in a balanced and happy way.
Inositol
Inositol is a growth factor that is contained in almost all living things and is not easily lacking. It promotes healthy hair growth, prevents eczema, and helps supply nutrients to brain cells. Many infant formulas are supplemented with microinositol to promote cell metabolism, promote development, and increase appetite.
These are the role of various ingredients and nutrients in milk powder, the dosage standard standard is also the state in accordance with the Chinese baby nutrition deficiency big data survey statistics, this dosage standard is different in each country, so many purchasing directly from foreign supermarkets back to the milk powder is not necessarily suitable for Chinese babies. However, the milk source control, production process, and process supervision of various countries are the same, for example, flag dairy products in the milk powder quality management is higher than the EU standard.
Next, you can leave a message to feedback whether your baby's milk powder nutrition is balanced, and you are very welcome to pay attention to me!
