Study Reveals Prolacta's 100% Human Milk-Based Nutritional Fortifiers Significantly Increase Bioactive Proteins and Antioxidant Activity in Human Milk Samples, Outperforming Cow Milk-Based Fortifier

Bioactivity Supports Premature Infants' Immunity, Development, and Growth, According to a Literature Review 

DUARTE, Calif., June 12, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Prolacta Bioscience, the world's leading hospital provider of 100% human milk-based nutritional products for critically ill, premature infants, today announced that Breastfeeding Medicine has published an independent study demonstrating Prolacta's human milk-based fortifiers (HMBF) reinstate and significantly boost bioactive proteins when added to mother's own milk (MOM) and donor human milk (DHM).1 The naturally occurring bioactive components in human milk are thought to support infants' immunity, development, growth, and long-term health.2

The study, "Exclusive Human Milk Diet for Extremely Premature Infants: A Novel Fortification Strategy That Enhances the Bioactive Properties of Fresh, Frozen, and Pasteurized Milk Specimens" was an observational feasibility study that analyzed the bioactive components of human milk to evaluate fortification choices. It was authored by Professor Roy K. Philip, MD, MBA, and colleagues of the University of Limerick School of Medicine, and Bernal Institute, University of Limerick, Ireland. 

"Freshly expressed mother's milk fortified with HMBF appears to be an optimal nutritional choice for extremely premature infants during the critical early postnatal window of tissue accretion and immunological imprinting," Dr. Philip said. "Pasteurized donor human milk showed significantly low bioactive properties in comparison to fresh and frozen MOM; however, the addition of HMBF reinstated and further enhanced bioactivity to partially offset the effects of pasteurization."1

Promising Bioactivity Results

  • The study found milk samples fortified with Prolacta's HMBF contained higher protein, fat, and total solids (p < 0.05) compared to unfortified samples and those fortified with cow milk-based fortifier (CMBF). HMBF reinstated lactoferrin and α-lactalbumin and exhibited higher protein, fat, and total solids (p < 0.05) in comparison to unfortified specimens and those supplemented with CMBF.1
  • Samples with added HMBF had the highest (p < 0.05) antioxidant activity (AA), suggesting the potential capability of HMBF to enhance oxidative scavenging.1

"This study highlights the advantages of Prolacta's proprietary processing in retaining important bioactive components," said Melinda Elliott, MD, chief medical officer at Prolacta. "The findings underscore that bioactivity matters and may be a key reason why extremely premature infants fed an Exclusive Human Milk Diet (EHMD) with human milk-based fortifiers fare better, have fewer complications, and go home sooner than those fed a cow milk-based diet."3-16

About Human Milk-Based Products 
Human milk-based products differ from cow milk-based products primarily in their composition — notably, the bioactive components that are exclusive to human milk and thought to support infants' immunity, development, growth, and long-term health.2 These bioactive components, such as immunoglobulins, lactoferrin, milk fat globule membrane, and the wide spectrum of prebiotics known as human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs), are not easily manufactured, and thus are greatly decreased or missing from cow milk-based products.17 Prolacta's 100% human milk-based nutritional products offer the highest bioactivity in the human milk industry due to vat pasteurization, which retains more bioactivity compared to other processing methods like retort sterilization or ultrahigh-temperature (UHT) processing, as supported by multiple studies.16, 18-19 Prolacta's human milk-based fortifiers (HMBF) are clinically proven to reinstate and significantly boost bioactive proteins when added to mother's own milk (MOM) and/or donor human milk (DHM).1
