1 min to read Apr 1, 2021

It is an essential component of our body tissue such as: muscles, organs, enzymes, hormones, blood, skin and hair.
Babies need more protein per kg in bodyweight compared to children and adults to help keep up with their speedy growth and development.
The protein in breast milk boosts babies’ growth because its quantity and quality match what they need at each stage of development.
