Heavy! Scientific research evidence of a2 Zhichu formula: the course of acute respiratory infections and diarrhoea was significantly reduced by 23%!

Ingesting a formula containing only A2 type β-casein (excluding A1 type) and a high amount of lactoferrin can improve common acute respiratory tract infections and diarrhea, and significantly reduce the duration of acute upper respiratory tract infections and/or diarrhea in babies23 %.
Recently, at the 17th National Academic Conference on Perinatal Medicine (CSPM) of the Chinese Medical Association in 2023, the release of this new evidence has become one of the hot topics of discussion in the academic community.
What is even more noteworthy is that the formula of the milk powder used in the study is the formula of the new national standard product A2, which has just been announced by a2 Milk Company, the leader in A2 protein milk powder.
1.A2 Zhichu formula has major scientific research evidence to improve respiratory tract infections, etc.
Experts have long said that in the autumn and winter epidemic seasons, daily protection is only one aspect. The baby's own immunity is all-weather. It is very important to strengthen the baby's "self-protection power". To resist external bacteria and viruses, it is mainly up to the baby himself!
It is understood that the latest research on A2 type protein was led by well-known experts such as Professor Sheng Xiaoyang, Chief Physician of the Department of Developmental Behavioral Child Health, Xinhua Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, and the theme was about "The effectiveness of lactoferrin-supplemented infant formula for 2-3 years old" Impact of respiratory infections and diarrhea in young children.”
Scholars have once again obtained new research evidence that A2 milk not only has the ability to increase the level of antioxidants, but also has a synergistic effect with high amounts of lactoferrin, working together to increase the self-protection factor and multiply the self-protection power! Ingesting a formula containing only A2 type β-casein (excluding A1 type) and a high amount of lactoferrin can improve common acute respiratory tract infections and diarrhea, and significantly reduce the duration of acute upper respiratory tract infections and/or diarrhea in babies23 %.
Judging from the results, research has proven that A2-type protein can better synergize with high-quality lactoferrin. Such a "best partner" can help babies become stronger and recover faster.
"The effect of a single nutrient is not the full picture of the impact of food on the human body," Sheng Xiaoyang said. This study allows us to observe the positive impact of the synergy of key nutrients on infants and young children's autoimmunity and even feeding outcomes. A2 protein and optimal Lactoferrin is a "best partner".
In fact, in the past few decades, in the research on milk containing only type A2 protein, scholars at home and abroad have repeatedly noticed that milk containing only type A2 protein and no type A1 can improve human immunity. Levels of the important "self-protection factor" antioxidant glutathione GSH doubled. Glutathione GSH can play an antioxidant role and can also participate in the detoxification process, allowing the body to maintain normal immune system function.
The latest research has found that A2 -type protein works synergistically with another nutrient that helps immunity, lactoferrin : on the basis of increasing the levels of the antioxidant glutathione GSH , lactoferrin can increase glutathione. GSH activity, thereby better promoting immune protection.
This research also fits the mystery contained in breast milk - the protein type in breast milk is A2 type, does not contain A1 type, and breast milk naturally contains lactoferrin.
2.Focused on A2 protein research for more than 20 years, constantly making new breakthroughs
It is understood that a2 Milk Company, which has a history of more than 20 years, is currently the only dairy company in the world that only produces A2 protein dairy products. This focus and persistence are closely related to the identity of the founder of this company as a "scientist" .
The process of scientific research development is often long. Since the initial discovery in the journal NATURE in the 1960s that cows produce different types of β-casein due to genetic mutations, research on A2-type β-casein has continued for decades.
As early as the 1980s, a group of scientists began to study the health benefits of A2 protein to the human body.
From early principle research, cell experiments, animal experiments, to clinical experiments, it has gone through a rigorous and arduous process, and has continuously made breakthroughs in research. Numerous initial studies published in authoritative journals at home and abroad have found that A1 and A2, although they are one word different, can have an impact on many aspects of the human body.
For example, in our country, up to 85% of Chinese people suffer from lactose malabsorption. Studies have found that the reason why many people feel uncomfortable in their stomach after drinking milk is actually related to the type of protein. Ordinary milk containing A1 type β-casein may reduce lactase activity and increase gastrointestinal symptoms during human digestion. Many international and domestic studies and professional surveys have confirmed that it only contains A2 type protein and does not contain A1 type. The milk is more friendly to the stomach and will significantly reduce the symptoms of gastrointestinal discomfort after drinking milk.
As research advances, more and more benefits have been confirmed, such as benefits in brain cognition (such as reaction speed, false answer rate, etc.), antioxidant levels, and immunity.
It was this group of scientists engaged in research on A2 beta-casein that established a2 Milk Company in 2000. More than 20 years have passed, and we can now see a wide range of A2 protein dairy products on the market. It is precisely because of a2 Milk Company’s consistent focus on research and the application of scientific results.
This persistence has also brought rewards to a2 Milk Company, the pioneer of this milk category: less than 10 years after entering the Chinese market, a2 Milk Company’s Chinese infant formula business has continued to create miracles, ranking among the top ten in China, and even operating in the three years of the epidemic. The collection tripled.
3.Multiple upgrades from a2 to the new national standard, setting a new benchmark for A2 dairy products
For mothers, milk powder, as one of the important sources of nutritional supplements for their babies, is of course a top priority. Therefore, many mothers are looking for milk powder that is not only easy to absorb, but also can provide comprehensive nutrition and improve self-protection for their babies.
At the recent China International Import Expo, which gathered the latest good things from around the world, the new national standard Dingpei new product of the a2 to early childhood infant formula series was launched. The most eye-catching thing is that this product applies the latest scientific research findings mentioned above, and The latest research has proved that milk containing only A2 protein, the synergistic effect with high-quality lactoferrin, doubles the baby's self-protection ability, becoming a new benchmark for A2 protein milk.
a2 to the new national standard product also contains native rare nutrients (HMO, OPN, OPO, etc.), which has received double strict certification from China and New Zealand. The purity of lactoferrin is higher than 95%. Compared with the previous generation a2 to the beginning product, the content is Upgraded by 450%. At the same time, GOS, golden ratio DHA/ARA are added in the a2 to early stages, and a full lactose formula is adopted.
In addition, a2 company's infant formula milk powder products all use a2 fresh milk from the global golden milk source belt-New Zealand's South Island as the source milk of their entire formula. More than 20 years of dedicated research and technology accumulation, coupled with high-quality source milk With high quality, a2 company has upgraded the new national standard to the initial stage and made every effort to create a "triple match".
"The a2 Zhichu new product embodies a2 Milk Company's focus on A2 protein for more than 20 years and applies the latest research results on A2 protein," said Li Xiao, CEO of a2 Milk Company Greater China: It embodies a2 It has made positive contributions to the dairy industry and early infant nutrition research, and hopes that this product can better lay a solid foundation for early nutrition for Chinese babies. "
As the leader in creating a new category of A2 dairy products, a2 Milk Company also uses unremitting research to explore more possibilities and break through the boundaries of research. "We will unswervingly strive for the best products and at the same time set a better standard for the industry." Li Xiao said.
