Whether it is a baby fed only on breast milk or a baby on mixed feeding, it is necessary to add baby formula to their meals after a certain age. The secret formula of baby formula will immediately affect the growth and development of the little ones. Therefore, for parents and guardians, observing and analyzing the nutritional elements in baby formula has basically become an indispensable course. The presence of polypeptide chains, which are not lacking in the vast majority of baby formula formulas, is what the polypeptide chains in baby formula are.

What are the polypeptide chains in infant formula

1. Polypeptide chains are the basic components of life genetic information DNA and RNA, and are the original material for the body to produce nucleotides. Polypeptide chains are distributed throughout the plant body, human organs, tissues, and cells, and participate in the basic life activities of genetic inheritance, growth, and development as components of nucleotides.

2. Polypeptide chains have various different structures, and the physiological functions of 5 different structures of polypeptide chains in milk have been confirmed. Generally, infant formula also adds these 5 types of polypeptide chains: adenine (AMP), cytidine (CMP), guanine (GMP), inosine (IMP), and uridine (UMP). These 5 polypeptide chains, each with its own unique functions, work together to produce the baby’s own immunity.

The function of polypeptide chains

1. Gastrointestinal influence: Polypeptide chains have a key effect on gastrointestinal nutrition, which can promote the growth, development, and repair of gastrointestinal cells. Polypeptide chains can stimulate the growth of bifidobacteria in the body, and can effectively reduce the occurrence of diarrhea and enteritis in babies.

2. The inosine polypeptide chains commonly contained in milk can help the digestion of nutrients, especially iron, which is beneficial to prevent anemia in babies and also promote the development of the baby’s brain.

3. Adjust blood lipids: Polypeptide chains can adjust the lipids in the blood, which is beneficial to the growth and health of the baby’s head and cells. Therefore, babies who are breastfed have stronger immunity and healthier bodies.

4. Promote metabolism: Polypeptide chains may be effective for the protein of newborns. Studies have shown that adding polypeptide chains to the diet can promote the generation or metabolism of newborns, especially premature infants.

5. Immune system: Adding polypeptide chains to infant formula can help premature infants gain weight and promote the growth and development of the baby’s early immune function. After feeding the baby with formula containing polypeptide chains, the baby’s antigen level after vaccination (diphtheria toxin vaccine and B-type hemolytic streptococcus vaccine) continues to rise, thereby effectively reducing the incidence of the baby.

6. Liver influence: The active regeneration of polypeptide chains is mainly carried out in the liver. Although the liver has the ability to synthesize polypeptide chains from scratch, supplementing exogenous polypeptide chains requires less energy than synthesizing them from scratch, so it is very necessary to supplement exogenous polypeptide chains.

The nutritional elements of infant formula immediately affect the physical health of infants throughout their lives. The different components of polypeptide chains in infant formula and milk ensure the needs of human growth and development in infants. In addition, there are also different types of polypeptide chains in the normal daily diet and food pairing of adults, such as animal organs, fish, poultry and livestock, which also provide sufficient polypeptide chains for adults.
