From Lactation to Health: The Benefits of Human Milk Bioactives

Human milk is the gold standard of infant nutrition, rich in essential nutrients and bioactive compounds that support growth, development and overall health. The bioactive compounds in human milk protect against infections, promote healthy gut microbiota, and aid in brain development. While current research explores the role of specific bioactives in infant health, further studies are crucial to fully understand the complex interactions among these components and their long-term impact on infant growth and development.
