The Expert Consensus on the Health Effects of Lacto-Iron Protein Populations was published in The New York Times

Recently, the
"Clinical Frontier Seminar on Lacto ferritin" hosted by the Maternal and Child Nutrition Branch of the Chinese Nutrition Society was held in Chengdu, where nearly 20 leading nutrition experts from China gathered to share the cutting-edge research results on lacto-ferritin, and the Meeting announced the Expert Consensus on the Health Effects of Lacto-Iron Protein in Infants and Young Children, which is the first time that the Maternal and Child Nutrition Branch of the Chinese Nutrition Society has issued recommendations on functional food composition in infant and young children.experts agreed that lactoxin is the core active protein in human breast milk. Clinical studies have shown that the intake of a certain amount of lacto-iron protein isolated from cow's milk can help improve the nutritional status of infants and young children and help reduce the risk of diseases such as diarrhea in infants and young children, necrotical colitis in newborns, respiratory diseases, neonatal sepsis, etc. For the maternal population, lactoferrin also showed effect in the prevention and treatment of iron deficiency anemia."Lacto-iron protein health effects expert consensus" published at the scene, experts explore the nutritional effects of lacto-ferritin and the application ofWhat is lacto-iron protein It is understood that lacto-iron protein is a ferritin family of iron binding glycoprotein, present in the human body's milk and various secretions, and its highest content in breast milk. As
1939, the international nutrition community began the study of lactoxin, when nutritionists found a protein in cow's milk, the crystals are red. Later, nutritionists isolated this ingredient from human milk before officially naming the nutrient lacto-ferritin.Over the past 80 years, with the gradual deepening of the study of lactoxin, nutritionists have found that lacto-ferritin in human milk and lacto-iron protein in cow's milk are structurally highly ionologic, and lacto-iron protein in human milk and cow's milk is composed of
691 and 689 amino acids, respectively, while amino acid sequences have 69% zologicity. At the same time, the three-stage structure of the two is very similar, so the two are similar in protective function of the human body.Entering the
21st century, the international nutrition community has carried out a lot of in-depth research on lactoxin, and at the international authoritative conference on pediatric nutrition, research on lactoxin has been widely recognized, such as the prestigious European Society of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (ESPGHAN) in 2004 on behalf of the annual best speech in gastroenterology John Harries awarded to the paper on lactoxin research.the mystery of breast milk has always been an important topic in infant nutrition research. In order to keep up with the trend of international infant and young child nutrition research, the Maternal and Child Nutrition Branch of the Chinese Nutrition Society launched the "Expert Consensus on the Health Effects of Lacto ferritin infants and young children" project in March
, 2017, which was composed of nearly 20 authoritative nutrition experts from China, after more than a year, The international and domestic research related to lactoxin nutrition of infants and young children to carry out detailed literature collection and collation, and carried out a number of in-depth discussions on the content of consensus and evidence-based levels of in-depth discussion, by Zhongshan University School of Public Health Professor Zhang Caixia, and finally formed the "Lacto-Iron Protein Consensus." This is the first time that the Maternal and Child Nutrition Branch of the Chinese Nutrition Society has issued recommendations for the intake of active protein in infant and young child feeding.Professor Wang Biao, professor of the School of Public Health of Nanjing Medical University, head of the Department of Maternal and Child Health And chairman of the Maternal and Child Nutrition Branch of the Chinese Nutrition Society, said at the seminar that the expert group conducted a systematic study of the effects of lactoxin and population health, and collated evidence of lactoxin and intestinal and respiratory diseases in infants and children, as well as neonatal sepsis. Clinical studies show that ingesting a certain amount of active lactoxin extracted from cow's milk can help reduce the risk of diseases such as infant diarrhea, neonatal necrotical colitis, respiratory diseases, neonatal sepsis, etc., and play a positive role in infant growth and development, and is an indispensable and important nutrient in infant growth and development.Professor Wang Xuan, Professor of The School of Public Health of Nanjing Medical University, Head of the Department of Maternal and Child Health, and Chairman of the Maternal and Child Nutrition Branch of the Chinese Nutrition Society, addressed the Conference Professor Wang pointed out that lacto-iron protein is an important active protein in breast milk, which is the best source of nutrition for infants, and that breastfeeding is not only beneficial to the near-term health of infants, but also has a long-term impact on their health as adults. For families with insufficient or no exclusive breastfeeding, when choosing a feeding method other than breast milk, the Expert Consensus on the Health Effects of Lacto ferrine infants and young children recommends the intake of lacto-iron protein close to the range of breast milk content.is the amount of lacto-iron protein in breast milk? According to the consensus report, early breast milk (
<28 days of breast milk) has a lacto-iron protein content of 0.34-17.94g/L and mature breast milk (>-28-day breast milk) with a lacto-iron protein content of 0.44 Between -4.4g/L and only 0.02-0.2g/L in fresh milk, non-breastfed infants may consider infant formula products with lacto-ferrin content that range from lacto-iron protein in breast milk.in recent years, active lacto-ferrin has been used to a certain extent in infant formula. Dr. Chen Liang, Director of Medical Affairs for Greater China, said that Mei Zanchen has always been adhering to the
test start for the baby's life" mission, adhere to the science-based, believe that in the early life of infants and young children to give the best nutrition, the baby's growth and development is essential. Mei Zanchen is conducting nutritional scientific research in various fields, including breast milk research, nutrition and immunization research, nutrition and early intestinal development research, and has worked with more than 100 leading infant nutrition research institutions and universities at home and abroad, including Harvard Medical School, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shanghai Jiaoxuan University, covering the United States, China, the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands and other countries, in-depth understanding of early-life nutritional needs, and continuously improve the design capacity of formula powder to meet these needs.Dr. Chen Liang, Director of Medical Affairs of Meizanchen Greater China, introduced the application of lactoxin in infant formula Mei Zanchen has a long-term investment in the research of breast milk protein, the research of lacto-iron protein has also continued for many years, and the international infant nutrition community on lacto-iron protein leading research results applied to products, breakthrough in the addition of blue ferritin content to the level of the baby's natural demand for lacto-iron protein.Dr. Chen Liang, , said that the publication of the Lacto-Iron Protein Consensus will help to design infant formula more scientifically and provide scientific and authoritative guidance for the scientific use of active lacto-ferro-protein ingredients in infant and young child feeding.
