Mixtures on goat milk: reviews, price and composition. What are the advantages of goat's milk mixtures?

The most valuable product for feeding babies in the first year of life is mother's milk. Unfortunately, there are circumstances in which breastfeeding is impossible. In such cases, the crumb needs a mixture that is the most similar in composition to female milk. It should provide adequate nutrition and strengthen immunity. Today on the shelves of children's departments you can see the mixture on goat's milk. What are their advantages in comparison with analogues, and is such a product capable of becoming a full-fledged daily diet? You can answer these questions by studying the properties of mixtures, the composition and feedback of consumers.

Advantages of the product

The milk of the goat's milk, unlike the cow's analogue, forms a more gentle clot with curling in the stomach of the crumb, which is much easier to digest without irritating the mucous membrane. Due to this property and the content of beta-casein, mixtures on goat's milk are relatively quickly digested and do not provoke the appearance of intestinal disorders and allergies. However, the milk protein of a goat is not a healing remedy that relieves allergic reactions; therefore, such a meal is suitable or not for a crumb, you can determine it only by trying it. To introduce the product to children, allergies should be gradually, observing the skin condition.

Milk goat in comparison with the cow analog is much closer in composition to the female milk. Thanks to this, such nutrition is suitable for babies without causing problems with digestion. Quite often pediatricians prescribe crumbs with dysbacteriosis mixture on goat milk. The reviews of most mothers mark a significant change in the baby's well-being for the better. Nutrition based on milk goats restores the intestinal microflora and improves the functionality of the stomach and intestines. The use of goat's milk for a child is not limited to this. In its composition, three times more amino acids, for example, taurine, than in the cow analogue. This also makes nutrition for goat's milk powder a good substitute for breastfeeding. The vital amino acids that make up it, help the organs of the crumbs to form properly and significantly improve immunity.

Composition

Goat milk in its natural form, in spite of all its positive characteristics, is absolutely not suitable for the diet of the baby in the first year of his life. That is why companies that produce products for baby food make mixtures based on goat's milk. They artificially approach the composition of the parent analogue and are called adapted. The complex process of adapting children's products to goat's milk is more successful than on a cow analog. Nutrition from cow milk often causes problems with digestive processes and trouble in the form of allergic reactions. In this regard, some companies have taken as a basis goat's milk. But in the mixtures its content does not exceed 45-46%, and the remaining substances are specialized additives that approximate the composition of useful elements to the mother's milk. These include:

• Probiotics, which support the favorable composition of microflora and regulate the activity of the gastrointestinal tract, including the stool of the baby, making it softer;
• Nucleotides, excellent for the recovery and strengthening of the immune system;
• Vitamin and mineral elements aimed at meeting the needs of the intensely growing body of crumbs: vitamins A, B12, C, D, E, potassium, cobalt, iodine, folic acid and others.

It should be noted that goat milk based mixtures contain 57% less lactose than other infant formula. In some cases, they become an indispensable food option for babies with individual lactose intolerance.

Benefits

Any milk contains two types of proteins: hard-to-digest casein and easily digestible whey. In cow milk, casein is mainly contained, for example, alpha-c1-casein, which causes adverse allergic effects. The main advantage of baby products from goat milk is the predominance of whey protein, so this food is less exposed to all sorts of treatments and does not provoke the emergence of allergies. Research has shown a number of unique advantages, which have milk mixtures on goat milk in comparison with cow analogues. Here, for example, are some of them:

• Goat's milk consists of a more homogeneous mixture of small fatty droplets, so it is almost completely absorbed;
• When interacting with the gastric juices of crumbs, food based on goat milk forms more friable and smaller curd clots that are easier to assimilate to a fragile organism;
• The product does not have some proteins provoking allergic effects, for example, atopic dermatitis, which, as it grows up, can cause bronchial asthma;
• In such a mixture there is a lot of natural vitamin A, which improves visual functions and skin condition, and the vitamin element of PP, which affects the oxidative processes in the growing organism;
• The product passes fewer steps on the processing technology that makes the mixture adapted.
