助力儿童健康成长
儿童与青少年的健康成长发育，离不开均衡的营养。其中包括充足摄入蛋白质、必需脂质、维生素、矿物质等关键营养素，为身体生长、骨骼发育、认知功能以及免疫系统的正常功能提供营养支持。
阿拉食品原料提供一系列高品质乳源原料，以满足儿童和青少年的营养需求，助力厂商打造营养丰富的食品，为儿童和青少年各成长阶段的健康发育提供支持。
强健骨骼发育
儿童与青少年时期是骨骼发育的黄金窗口期，营养在此过程中发挥着重要作用。这一时期积累充足的峰值骨量，有助于降低成年后发生骨折和骨质疏松的风险1,2。
强健骨骼的发育需要充足摄入蛋白质和矿物质3-5。临床研究显示，青春期前女孩连续12个月每日摄入乳矿物盐后3，其骨密度指标有所提高，且这一效果在三年多后仍可测得8。基于此类研究结果，欧洲食品安全局（EFSA）已批准蛋白质、钙和磷与儿童骨骼正常生长发育相关的健康声称6,7。
乳源分离胶束酪蛋白（MCI）富含优质乳蛋白、钙与磷，作为一种新的配料选择，可提供儿童骨骼正常生长发育所需的关键营养素。
促进大脑发育、提升认知能力
儿童与青少年时期的脑部发育，对于学习能力与认知表现十分重要，而营养是影响脑部发育进程的关键因素之一。
乳脂肪球膜（MFGM）天然含有磷脂与鞘磷脂，二者是构成细胞膜的核心物质，对大脑结构完善与功能运转至关重要；它们还能够促进大脑内神经信号传递，助力社交能力与认知水平发展 ¹⁰。
Nutrilac® MFGM是乳源磷脂和鞘磷脂的天然来源，对大脑健康发育与认知功能提升具有重要作用。多项临床试验证实，补充乳脂肪球膜可以让婴幼儿的认知发育指标得到改善 ¹¹⁻¹³。
支持免疫健康
营养对于维持儿童免疫系统的正常功能具有重要作用。均衡摄取宏量营养素、微量营养素，搭配可调节肠道菌群的相关成分，能够促进免疫系统发育成熟，增强身体抵御感染的能力。
Nutrilac® MFGM具有独特的蛋白质和脂质组成，临床证实，它可以支持婴幼儿和儿童的免疫功能，包括减少呼吸道与肠道感染的发生概率 ¹⁴⁻¹⁶。一项针对学龄前儿童的研究显示，补充乳脂肪球膜能够减少孩子发热天数 ¹⁷。
