Increased Utilization in Infant Milk Formula
Infant formula is required to have all the necessities that can help a baby to develop the digestive system. Infant formula needs to have the composition to be as close as possible to that of breast milk at every stage of a baby's development. When it comes to infant formula, four main sources of proteins are used, out of which one is cow's milk (whey & casein) which is closest in structure to human breast milk. Whey protein empties quicker from the stomach, as it stays in liquid form throughout the digestive process in a baby. There is also partially hydrolyzed 100% whey protein formula, which helps in preventing most common allergic diseases, like atopic dermatitis in infancy throughout the first year of life and up to three years of age.
