New milk ingredient boosts child’s brain development

By five years old, children are at a crucial stage of development. Not only is it a time for them to be full of wonder and learning, it is also when 90% of their brain development has happened.

Pediatric scientists say anything missed during this time may be irrecoverable later on. With milk considered as an essential drink for children up to that age, pediatric scientists continue to discover milk ingredients that can help in brain development. A recent breakthrough is the Milk Fat Globule Membrane (MFGM). It is the milk fat’s coating that is rich in life-enhancing components supporting the brain development and immunity of kids.

MFGM works with brain-nutrient DHA for 2X Power giving children the IQ + EQ Advantage. This helps enhance their cognitive development and improve IQ together, as opposed to just DHA alone, giving them an added boost for better learning.

The breakthrough milk ingredient helps improve behavioral regulation among kids, helping them understand and control their emotions better, make friends, and get along with others in any social situations.

Some of the compounds found in MFGM are also rich in antiviral and antimicrobial mechanisms that combat infections. Research shows that it can help build the body’s immunity and strengthen its defense against infections, keeping children as healthy as they can be.

With all of these benefits, it’s not so surprising why scientists are heralding MFGM as a breakthrough. But what’s really exciting experts is that for the first time in history, MFGM can be extracted from cow’s milk and added to a children’s milk formula—which is exclusively found in Enfagrow A+ Four.

With a glass of Enfagrow A+ Four, parents can help prepare kids for the best future they can have.
