Goat milk contains small molecules, which is better absorbed?

This is true.

The so-called small molecules refer to the fat globule particles in goat milk, which are smaller than milk fat. The absorption rate is also higher.

However, this advantage does not exist in infant formula milk powder. Because the fat in infant formula milk powder is not the fat of cows or sheep. It is skimmed first, and the fat of cows and sheep is removed, and then vegetable oil is added. Therefore, the fat of formula milk powder and goat milk powder is both the fat of vegetable oil, and there is no difference.

Other children's milk powder, adult milk powder, and elderly milk powder will not be skimmed and use cow's milk or goat's milk. There is some fat, so there is a difference.

Goat milk is less likely to cause allergies?

The protein composition of animal milk and breast milk is different. Studies have shown that: in animal milk, casein ofαs1-casein, Whey proteinβ-lactoglobulin is caused by The main cause of milk allergy.

What is the content of allergens in goat milk?

But for babies with severe allergies, although the content of allergenic factors in goat milk has been greatly reduced, it is still May cause allergies.

Milk source, milk Basic raw materials

The origin of milk is often the focus of infant formula marketing, but children’s milk powder is rarely publicized. Goat milk powder manufacturers are not even mentioned. Mainly because the quality difference caused by the milk source is not particularly big. And for children, milk powder is only a part of daily food, not to mention not that important.

In these goat milk powders, there is almost no publicity about the origin of the milk. However, you can also judge a little bit through their packaging origin information.

Let’s talk about milk base.

Most milk powders use more than one milk base in order to adjust the proportion of protein and other ingredients.

However, they all claim goat milk powder, so it would be more in line with expectations if all milk bases come from goat milk.

Summary:

(1)伊L The milk source comes from Heilongjiang/Inner Mongolia, the golden milk source belt. "> is not necessarily the case (Shandong is not a golden milk source area), and the other three models are not golden milk source areas.

Hua Dad inquired about the customer service of each brand flagship store and got the following results:

< p itemprop="description">Bei K XiAll milk bases come from goat milk , is whole goat milk powder.

Before Flower Dad According to popular science, the proportion of milk powder in children's daily food is not high. Many nutrients do not need to be supplemented from milk powder and can be supplemented through daily food. What needs to be paid attention to are some of the ingredients that are more likely to be lacking.

There are mainly 10 micronutrients that Chinese children are more likely to lack: vitamin A, B1, B2, C, D, calcium, Iron, zinc, selenium, magnesium, among which calcium and vitamin D are more serious deficiencies Goat milk powder containing these trace elements performs better .
