DHA
DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), an important member of the Omega-3 family.
DHA is found in very high amount in human brain and nerve cells, it is essential for brain development of infants and young children. When supplemented with other antioxidant active substances, DHA can also help maintain cardiovascular health in middle-aged and elderly people.
ATK Biotech produces high-quality DHA algal oil with leading biotechnology, product includes
DHA oil (35%-55%) and DHA powder (7%, 10%, 20%).
D-Allulose
A new type of functional monosaccharide discovered initially in nature, its sweetness is equivalent to 70% of sucrose, calories is 0.3% of sucrose with similar taste and bulk density to sucrose.
Similar to sucrose, Allulose can react with amino acids or proteins in food through Maillard reaction.
Probiotics
Substantial science proves that probiotic through oral supplementation can help improve human intestinal flora and defend against harmful microorganisms,
Probiotics metabolites such as butyric acid, propionic acid and other short-chain fatty acids promote growth of intestinal upper mucosal cells, some probiotic metabolites can even help improve the health of tissues and organs such as the liver through internal circulation.
HMOs (Human Milk Oligosaccharides)
Breast milk is the best food for babies. Scientists have been working hard to make the nutrition of infant formula close to breast milk as much as possible.
The most abundant nutrients in human milk are carbohydrates including lactose and oligosaccharides, of which oligosaccharides are of special benefits. Human Milk Oligasaccharides (HMOs) are the collective name for oligosaccharides generated in human breast milk, which is the third largest nutrients group after lactose and fat.
OPO (1,3-oleic acid-2-palmitatetriglyceride)
Breast milk contains about 3%-5% fat, of which triglycerides accounts for more than 95% of total fat.
Palmitic acid is the most important energy-generating fatty acid in human body, take up 20%-25% of total fatty acids. In human milk, up to 60%-70% of palmitic acid is esterified at SN-2 position of triglycerides, known as 1,3-oleic acid-2-palmitate triglyceride (OPO), However, In cow milk, the proportion is only 30%-35%.
OPO added to infant formula can not only reduce palmitic acid saponification in gastrointestinal tract in infant tract,which further decreases constipation risk, but also promote absorption of minerals such as calcium into body.
ARA (Arachidonic Acid)
A widely present polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFAs) in human body, especially in brain and nerve tissues. ARA accounts for up to 40% of PUFAs in nerve and even higher.
Due to low related enzyme activity, Infants and young children are unable to synthesis enough ARA , thus require intake of ARA from breast milk or infant formula.
Dairy Proteins
Dairy contains a variety of nutrients such as whey protein, casein, milk-derived sialic acid, milk-derived oligosaccharides, lactose, etc.
Regarding whey protein, it includes α-lactalbumin, lactoferrin, etc., whey protein consists of high amount of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) including leucine, isoleucine and valine, which are essential to the growth and repairing of bone or muscle tissues.
Whey protein is also rich in sulfur-containing amino acids cysteine and methionine. In human body, sulfur-containing amino acids can be converted to glutathione, an important substance to immunity.
