Enteral nutrition: The foundation for healthy child development
At the scientific seminar "Nutrition from natural fats supports intestinal immunity" organized by the Vietnam Pediatric Association in collaboration with FrieslandCampina Vietnam, experts emphasized that the first years of life are the "golden" period for the formation and completion of a child's immune system.
The digestive system - where more than 70% of immune responses are concentrated - is considered the first "line of defense" that helps identify and neutralize harmful agents, thereby contributing to disease prevention and maintaining long-term health for children. Therefore, a healthy digestive system is the foundation for strong resistance.

Experts say that a healthy gut is assessed according to five criteria: effective digestion and absorption, no digestive disorders, balanced microflora, good intestinal immunity and healthy child development. However, digestive disorders are still quite common in young children, especially in the first 1,000 days of life, when the digestive system is still immature, the diet is not suitable or the child does not tolerate some nutritional components well.

The scientific seminar "Nutrition from natural fats supports intestinal immunity" attracted the attention of nutrition experts (Photo: Organizing Committee).
In that context, early intestinal nourishment is the “key” to improving digestion and enhancing natural immunity. Research presented at the conference also noted the prominent role of the natural milk fat complex Milk Lipid Complex (MLC) - rich in short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) and medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA) - in strengthening the intestinal mucosal barrier, protecting the digestive mucosa, providing quick energy to intestinal cells and inhibiting harmful bacteria such as E.coli or Salmonella..., contributing to maintaining a healthy digestive system.
HMO and fiber GOS, MLC - a "trio" of nutrients that help nourish beneficial bacteria Bifidobacteria, Lactobacilus to balance intestinal microflora; increase nutrient absorption, reduce the risk of digestive disorders; support natural immunity, help children stay healthy and develop sustainably from within.
The synergy of these compounds is considered by experts to be the core factor in strengthening intestinal health, supporting the immune system and creating a solid foundation for children's comprehensive development from the first years of life.
Experts also emphasize that breast milk is still the best source of nutrition for the health and comprehensive development of young children. However, in cases where children need additional nutrition, choosing a product with the right formula, supporting digestion and intestinal immunity will help children develop healthier and more balanced.
