At the workshop "The importance of nutrients OPO for children's absorption" held on the afternoon of June 21 in Ho Chi Minh City, experts had the opportunity to clarify more about this breakthrough achievement in the field of pediatric nutrition.

PhD. Dr. Dao Thi Yen Phi clarified more about golden nutrients OPO.

According to PhD. Dr. Dao Thi Yen Phi - Head of the Department of Nutrition and Food Safety (Pham Ngoc Thach University of Medicine), the first 1,000 days of a child's life need the most fat. Fat provides 50% of energy and forms the brain cell membrane, which is extremely important for children aged 0-3.

Therefore, many decades ago, milk companies competed to add DHA, ARA, Omega-3, 6, 9 fatty acids to help develop the brain into formula products for young children. However, only in the last 10 years, OPO fat with many miraculous benefits such as helping children increase height, reduce constipation, and improve the digestive system has been put into use.

OPO has the scientific name sn2-palmitate. They have a molecular structure consisting of 3 fatty acids "Oleic acid - Palmitic acid - Oleic acid" attached to a Glycerol radical. The structure of OPO is similar to the fat in breast milk, which brings countless health benefits to young children that conventional powdered milk with added vegetable oil cannot have.

Dr. Hoang Quyet Tien - representative of Anka Milk brand and PhD. Dr. Dao Thi Yen Phi shared the questions of medical staff and consumers about the uses and benefits of OPO nutrients.

Vietnamese mothers "hunt" for milk with added OPO nutrients

Milk containing OPO is approved for use in China (2008), India (2013), North America (2014) ... In China, where the one-child policy affects the child care of parents and grandparents, they always want and try to give the best for their only child to develop well and comprehensively. This is where 45% of global powdered milk production is consumed (according to Euromonitor), parents today even proactively seek to buy milk containing OPO because they know that this nutrient brings many benefits proven by clinical studies.

In Vietnam, Anka Milk is the pioneering milk company to add OPO to its nutritional product line for young children. Doctor Hoang Quyet Tien - Medical Representative from Anka Milk said, Anka Well IQ+ was launched after 2 years of cooperation to develop a high-end nutritional product line between Anka Milk and Kerry Center for Global Research and Nutrition Application (Europe).

"OPO has been clinically proven to increase calcium absorption by 60%, reduce constipation symptoms by 50%, reduce crying time by 50% in children, increase bone resistance by 5%, increase fat absorption such as DHA by 8%, and increase beneficial bacteria by 24 times," said Doctor Tien.

Actress Thanh Thuy represented the parents at the event to share their questions about the process of raising children.

At the workshop, experts also answered 1001 questions from mothers about OPO nutrients. According to Dr. Yen Phi, breast milk is the best source of nutrition for young children. If a mother unfortunately loses her milk or does not have enough milk to feed her child, she should prioritize nutritional products with formulas that mimic breast milk the most, especially fat.

"Mothers often like to choose milk with lots of nutrients (protein, calcium...), overloading the baby's digestive system. The consequence is that the baby has indigestion, constipation, bloating, and cries more. Instead, you should choose milk with nutrients suitable for the baby's physical condition, supplemented with OPO to support the absorption and digestion of nutrients," Dr. Yen Phi advised.

Dr. Yen Phi's advice received the agreement of many parents. Ms. Trang, a medical staff, shared about her journey of deciding to choose Anka Well IQ+ milk to help her child develop optimally. Those were the days when she suddenly lost her milk; she worried and stayed up all night, diligently translating more than 20 foreign studies on OPO fat to find a new source of milk for her child. The baby's good absorption, healthy digestion, and plumpness today are proof of her correct choice based on science.

As the person who asked the most questions, actress Thanh Thuy also found a solution to overcome her child's chronic constipation after receiving advice from experts and especially when listening to the practical experiences shared by other mothers.

"When I was pregnant with my baby, Thuy drank many types of milk. At that time, Thuy also used Anka Milk maternity milk because she felt secure about the imported milk. Now that I'm done giving birth, I've learned more about OPO fat in Anka Well IQ+ milk for babies. Any mother who is looking for cool milk for her baby, wants to improve her baby's constipation but can't stop changing milk like Thuy, can try Anka Well IQ+ to feel the difference," the famous mother shared.
