Composition of Human Milk Bioactive Factors in Breastmilk

Bioactive Factors in Breastmilk

Breastmilk is a complex biological fluid containing over 200 ‘living’, active components, many of which are known to complement the newborn’s immature immune system. These bioactive factors provide nutrition, fight pathogens, reduce inflammation, promote the establishment of a healthy gut microbiome, and facilitate growth and maturity of the immune system1,2,4.

The following are examples of bioactive factors in these varied roles:
