Australian A2 milk powder has been very popular since its launch, it is an Australian Internet celebrity milk powder, and later launched the Chinese version of A2 in China to the beginning, often readers leave a message in the background to ask: Is it better to make domestic A2 or import A2? In today's article, let me comprehensively compare and analyze these two versions to see which one is more worth buying.
A2 to the beginning
International Mommy APP price: 413 yuan/850g
A2 originally used the New Zealand A2 milk source, that is, the milk source only contains A2-β casein, which is closer to the casein in breast milk and more friendly to the human body. In the early days, cows produced A2 milk, and A1 milk evolved from genetic mutations in the later artificial breeding process. At present, most of the milk powder on the market uses milk sources containing A1 milk, and only a few milk sources contain A2 milk sources. Therefore, A2 milk is considered to be more original than A1 milk. This is also the reason why A2 milk powder has become more and more popular in recent years.
In addition, the number of stages from A2 to the beginning is produced with fresh milk, and the processing process of fresh milk is relatively small, and the time required is short, and the freshness and nutrient retention of milk powder are relatively ideal.
In terms of raw materials, this milk powder is ideal, without adding flavors, sucrose and other ingredients that are not beneficial to the baby's growth.
In terms of nutrition, 6 basic fortified formulas of ARA, DHA, taurine, nucleotides, choline, and prebiotics are added to the first 1 and 3rd stages of A2 to the first stage, and only 5 are added to the 2nd stage, which lacks choline.
In addition, it also contains a special fortified formula lactoferrin, which can help improve immunity, promote intestinal development, promote the proliferation of beneficial bacteria, and protect the intestinal tract from harmful bacteria.
In addition, it should be noted that the iodine content of a2 to the first 1 paragraph, as well as the vitamin D content of the 3 segments are slightly lower than the national standard, if you eat this milk powder, in the case of adding complementary food, if you adjust the baby's dietary structure, add some vitamin D-rich foods, such as marine fish, animal liver, egg yolk, lean meat, etc., or you can consider adding vitamin D supplements.
Australia A2
International Mommy APP price: 234 yuan / 800g
Australian A2 uses New Zealand A2 milk source, using fresh milk as a milk-based raw material. The raw materials are relatively clean, and there are no ingredients that need special attention.
In terms of nutrition, it is added with a special fortified formula of natural milk fat, which contains a large amount of optimized fatty acids, which can optimize the absorption of calcium and fatty acids, and can also soften poop and reduce the chance of constipation.
In addition, the first and second stages of Australian a2 milk powder are complete with 6 basic fortified formulas such as DHA and ARA, and only 2 are in the 3rd stage, lacking ARA, nucleotides, taurine and choline.
Also, because the eating habits of Australian babies are different from those of our Chinese babies, the national standard is formulated according to the eating habits of Chinese babies, so many Australian milk powders will have basic nutrition that does not match the national standard, and Australian A2 is no exception.
Australian A2 milk powder section 3 still lacks some basic nutrients, including inositol, selenium, chlorine, manganese, inositol and so on. Therefore, if the baby consumes Australian A2 milk powder, it is necessary to ensure the balanced addition of complementary food, so that the baby can get enough nutrients from the complementary food.
summary
In general, it can be seen that there is not much difference between the national version of A2 to the beginning and the Australian A2 in terms of milk source and raw materials, the main difference between the two is in the nutrition, in the 3rd section of the Australian A2 milk powder, there are more basic nutrients that do not meet the national standard, and the lack of basic fortified formula types is also more than that of A2 to the beginning.
In addition, the two milk powders have their own advantages, if you pay more attention to preventing constipation and promoting calcium absorption, you can consider Australia A2 more, and if you pay more attention to immunity, you can consider A2 to the beginning.
