With the improvement of people's consumption level and the improvement of parenting concept, the public's demand for milk powder has continued to grow and change, and the development momentum of the milk powder market has only increased and not decreased. In recent years, in order to occupy more markets, various milk powder companies have focused on finding differentiated selling points and creating a diversified product matrix. The most intuitive manifestation is that the number of hydrolyzed milk powder brands continues to increase, but some people still don’t understand hydrolyzed milk powder. For example, everyone has different answers to the question “Can hydrolyzed milk powder be eaten for a long time?”
Why can’t hydrolyzed milk powder be eaten for a long time? Its essence lies in the ingredients of hydrolyzed milk powder. This type of milk powder is aimed at infants with special diseases or medical conditions such as functional gastrointestinal disease , milk protein allergy, food protein allergy, amino acid metabolism disorders, etc. They need to choose special medical formulas for infants for relieving symptoms such as gastrointestinal discomfort and allergies under the guidance of a doctor or clinical nutritionist . The reason why
can relieve the relevant symptoms is that these milk powders have undergone special hydrolysis technology to decompose the large molecules in the milk powder into small molecules, so they are more gentle and easy to absorb. For example, all milk proteins in the formula food are hydrolyzed into milk protein fragments or peptides, with an average molecular weight of less than 5KDa (range 3-10KDa). Although small molecule proteins can relieve related discomfort symptoms, they are not conducive to children's growth in the long run. Just as children cannot drink milk powder all their lives, as their intestinal function gradually develops and improves, they are fully capable of digesting and absorbing the complete protein nutrition. If they are not converted to ordinary formula milk powder in time, it will affect the normal development of the child's intestinal digestive system and immune system.
In addition, there is also a small molecule protein milk powder on the market, such as JLB Tianshi Milk Powder, FH Zhenaibeihu, etc. Although their formulas are added with hydrolyzed whey protein, the main ingredient is raw milk , so it cannot prevent or relieve allergies and gastrointestinal discomfort. Small molecules can also hinder the development of children's intestinal tract, so don't be confused by the "small molecules are easy to absorb" promoted by this type of milk powder, and ignore its hidden risks.
If the child is advised by the doctor to use hydrolyzed milk powder for a period of time due to allergies and other diseases, everyone must choose special medical hydrolyzed milk powder that meets the energy and nutrient indicator requirements stipulated in the "General Rules for Infant Formula Food for Special Medical Purposes" (GB25596).
Can hydrolyzed milk powder be eaten for a long time? Although many parents are impressed by the easy absorption of hydrolyzed milk powder, do not blindly drink hydrolyzed milk powder for their children. Only children with functional gastroenterology or milk protein allergy are required to drink hydrolyzed milk powder under the guidance of a doctor, and when the discomfort symptoms are relieved, they should also change back to ordinary formula milk powder in time. For healthy babies, it is recommended to choose ordinary formula milk powder such as Jinlingguan , Shengyuan , and Meisu Jiaer .
