Prebiotics are the only remedy when there is no breast milk

Several hundred years ago the inability of breastfeeding really represented a mortal threat to the newborn. About a century and a half ago, the first prototypes of mixtures appeared, the so-called "milk flour" intended for toddlers. It was a rough, hard-to-digest product, often providing only survival, but not the development of the child. Equally doubtful were the milk mixtures produced during the last 30-40 years. Their basis was cow's milk, which for a number of indicators (for example, on the level of protein) is very different from the female. Accordingly, for the newborn's body, it could not be an adequate substitute. This statement is confirmed by the fact that doctors even revealed a special phenomenon - "metabolic programming". The meaning of it is that many diseases in adults are clearly dependent on the quality of nutrition in the first year of life.

But life and science do not stand still. In recent years, very complex studies have been carried out, allowing to thoroughly study the composition and properties of breast milk, as well as to develop ways to create its full-value substitutes. Among them, mixtures with prebiotics are the first. They are considered a sufficient substitute for natural feeding. Today science has something to brag about.

Prebiotics are special components of food. They are not digested in the small intestine, their action is directed at the microflora of the thick. They stimulate its growth and increase biological activity. It provides the physiological interaction between the environment, incoming food and the human body. All the underlying mechanisms of its role have not been completely studied. But it is absolutely clear that a full-fledged microflora is the path to human health.

Prebiotics - this is a fairly significant list of a variety of substances (saccharides, fibers, amino acids, enzymes, antioxidants and even alcohols). In total, more than 1000 of their varieties are known. Together they have a so-called "systemic effect" on the microflora of the gastrointestinal tract. In normal pregnancy, a woman is born with a sterile intestine. In the first minutes of life, a natural bacterial colonization of the body begins. Initially, the intestinal microflora during breastfeeding and artificial feeding varies greatly. Therefore, the most important task is to correct its composition. And prebiotics are the substances that provide growth in the intestine of a natural microflora for humans. And this is very important for a small but rapidly growing body.

Baby prebiotics produces many companies, but one of the leading companies is Bellakt. It represents an extensive list of mixtures for artificial feeding. The mixture with prebiotics "Bellakt" contains also probiotics, and also polyunsaturated fatty acids, protein in optimal content (14-15 g per liter) and a balanced complex of vitamins and minerals (including iodine, selenium and iron). An important point is the optimal combination of quality and financial availability of such products.

Modern mixtures with prebiotics are high-tech safe and healthy products. They are perfectly balanced; On the content of fats, proteins and carbohydrates, they are indistinguishable from breast milk. Therefore, to replace it, they are suitable, of course, if the situation with natural feeding is impossible.

And prebiotics are a pledge of physiological breastfeeding.
