Abstract
The present invention relates to nutritional compositions. The nutritional composition comprises or consists of the following: lactoferrin and probiotics. The probiotic is preferably one or more selected from Bifidobacterium infantis, bifidobacterium longum, bifidobacterium bifidum, bifidobacterium adolescentis, bifidobacterium lactis, bifidobacterium breve, lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus rhamnosus; preferably bifidobacterium lactis, more preferably bifidobacterium lactis Bb12. The invention also relates to a food product comprising said nutritional composition. The invention also relates to the use of lactoferrin, probiotics or a nutritional composition or food product comprising both, to promote development of the immune system and improve non-therapeutic purposes in the intestinal flora of offspring via ingestion by humans or animal precursors.
Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates generally to the field of food products. In particular, the present invention relates to a nutritional composition for promoting development of the immune system and/or improving the function of the immune system, and improving the intestinal flora of its progeny, a food comprising the nutritional composition, and the use of the nutritional composition or its nutritional ingredients, or a food comprising the nutritional composition. More particularly, the present invention relates to a nutritional composition comprising lactoferrin and probiotics, a food product comprising the nutritional composition, and the use of the lactoferrin or probiotics or the nutritional composition or the food product for the non-therapeutic purpose of promoting development of the immune system and improving the intestinal flora of offspring via maternal consumption.
Background
"1000 days early in life" refers to the period of time from the start of conception to 2 years of age. During this period, the cells are in a state of vigorous division, proliferation and differentiation, and tissues and organs begin to form. The nutritional exposure during this period affects the establishment of metabolic patterns in the body which persist throughout life, affecting the risk of developing metabolic diseases in childhood or even adulthood. Early 1000 days of life can be divided into 3 phases: fetal (intrauterine nutrition), breast milk or infant formula, supplementary food addition and early dietary period.
"fetal origin hypothesis" the fetal term is considered to be extremely sensitive to nutrient supply during fetal life, and fetal adaptation to a failure of the mother to ingest sufficient nutrients or uterine dysplasia may be performed by the fetus, including: reducing blood flow of viscera such as kidney, ensuring blood supply of heart and brain, reducing hormone secretion, and reducing sensitivity of organism to hormone. Such changes may result in permanent changes in the phenotype of the body through apparent modification of the gene, resulting in subsequent disease development, and may be inherited to the next generation. The epigenetic regulation mainly comprises covalent modification of histone, DNA methylation, genome imprinting, non-coding RNA and the like. Many nutrients such as folic acid, vitamin B12, contain methyl structures in their components, and participate in the methylation process of DNA, resulting in reduced agouti protein expression, and the body shows different phenotypes under the condition of unchanged genotypes. Thus, the risk of obesity in offspring can be effectively reduced after the parent ingests proper nutrients. All of the above indicate that while nutrients cannot alter the coding sequence of DNA, the gene phenotype can be altered by modification of DNA. Early life malnutrition affects the growth and development of fetuses and children, and has long-term effects on the health level and quality of life after adulthood. Some have reduced alpha-linolenic acid intake during pregnancy and lactation in female mice and explored the impact of early n-3PUFAs in life on adult metabolic syndrome and susceptibility to parkinson's disease.
Intestinal flora plays an important role in early life. It is generally accepted that infants, prior to birth, have their gastrointestinal tract sterile and begin to colonise with bacteria within 48 hours after birth. The initial bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract of neonates are from the birth canal of the mother, the environment and breast milk. Natural delivery is established earlier than infant gastrointestinal microecology by caesarean section. Breast-fed infants differ from artificial-fed infants in their original gastrointestinal microecology. The microecology of the term infants fed by breast milk is mainly bifidobacteria, and the intestinal flora diversity of the infants fed by human is increased, and the intestinal flora is accompanied by the remarkable increase of the number of the bacteroides.
Lactoferrin (LF) is an iron-binding glycoprotein with a variety of biological activities. At present, LF has become the main functional additive component of infant formulas and the impact in infant health has been studied extensively. Some clinical studies have shown that feeding breast milk can significantly reduce the incidence and mortality of necrotizing colitis in newborns by about 13% compared to premature infants fed infant formula, the reason being attributed to the beneficial effect of the bioactive ingredient represented by LF contained in breast milk for the prevention and treatment of IBD. LF can also regulate intestinal flora, inhibit growth of harmful bacteria, colonize intestinal tracts, and promote growth of probiotics. No studies have shown the effect of maternal lactoferrin supplementation on sub-immune or intestinal flora. At present, the lactoferrin is mainly aimed at immunity and intelligence, and the patent layout transferred by mother and infant still belongs to the blank stage.
The prior art has shown that even if a nutritional substance is considered beneficial for fetal/infant development and health, it is not necessarily able to promote development and health of offspring via the maternal-to-infant delivery pathway in the case of maternal consumption intake.
For example, boyle et al, "Lactobacillus GG treatment during pregnancy for the prevention of eczema: a randomized controlled trial", allergy 2011;66:509-516, it is generally believed that the probiotic Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) is believed to treat eczema, but the results of the study indicate that prenatal treatment with Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG is insufficient to prevent eczema: LGG treatment of pregnant women from 36 weeks gestation to delivery did not reduce the risk of eczema in infants at high risk of developing allergic diseases. Prenatal LGG has no effect on neonatal immune responses and results in reduced levels of breast milk sCD14 and IgA.
Karen M Switkowski et al, "Higher Maternal Protein Intake during Pregnancy Is Associated with Lower Cord Blood Concentrations of Insulin-like Growth Factor (IGF) -II, IGF Binding Protein 3,and Insulin,but Not IGF-I, in a Cohort of Women with High Protein Intake", the Journal of Nutrition Nutritional Epidemiology,2017, 6/7; the results of the study indicate that, in a group of pregnant women with relatively high average protein intake, higher intake is associated with lower concentrations of somatotrophic hormone in cord blood, although prenatal exposure to dietary proteins is generally thought to modulate somatotrophic hormone and thus affect the early life growth patterns and risk of chronic diseases associated with later stages of life, as indicated in https:// doi. Org/10.3945/jn.117.250589.
While the use OF probiotics is generally believed to reduce the risk OF asthma in infants, as indicated by Xiaochen Wei et al in "Association between probiotic supplementation and asthma incidence in infants:aMeta-analysis OF randomized controlled trials", JOURNAL OF ASTHMA,2019,DOI:10.1080/02770903.2018.1561893, the results OF the study indicate that supplementing probiotics during pregnancy or early in life has no significant relevance to reducing the incidence OF asthma or wheezing in infants.
Thus, there is a need to find a method that can promote the development of the offspring's immune system and/or improve the function of the offspring's immune system, and improve the offspring's intestinal flora, via maternal consumption.

The present invention will be specifically described below.
Nutritional composition
In one aspect, the present invention provides a nutritional composition comprising:
-lactoferrin; and
-probiotics.
Lactoferrin is an iron-binding glycoprotein with a molecular weight of about 80kDa, belonging to the transferrin family. Lactoferrin is present in high levels in colostrum and milk and in lower levels in mucosal secretions such as tears, saliva, semen, nasal and bronchial secretions, bile and gastrointestinal fluids. In addition, lactoferrin is also a constituent of neutrophils. Lactoferrin is one of the main defensive molecules of the body, and in addition to helping transport and transfer iron ions, increasing the bioavailability of iron element, it has various biological immune activities including broad spectrum antibacterial, antiviral, antioxidant and immune-modulating activities.
Probiotics are a class of active microorganisms beneficial to a host by colonizing the human body and altering the flora composition of a part of the host. By regulating the immune function of host mucous membrane and system or regulating the balance of flora in intestinal tract, the effect of promoting nutrient absorption and maintaining intestinal health is achieved, so that single microorganism or mixed microorganism with definite composition beneficial to health is produced.
In one embodiment, the probiotic is one or more selected from the group consisting of bifidobacterium infantis, bifidobacterium longum, bifidobacterium bifidum, bifidobacterium adolescentis, bifidobacterium lactis, bifidobacterium breve, lactobacillus acidophilus and lactobacillus rhamnosus.
In one embodiment, the probiotic is bifidobacterium lactis.
In one embodiment, the probiotic or bifidobacterium lactis is bifidobacterium lactis Bb12.
Bifidobacterium lactis Bb12 (also sometimes referred to herein as bifidobacterium Bb12 or Bb12, for example) is belonging to the phylum actinomycota, bifidobacterium animalis, bifidobacterium lactis subspecies. It is a gram positive, polymorphous bacillus. The thallus form is in a bent rod shape or a branch rod shape, bb12 does not form spores, has no motility and is obligate anaerobic, the most suitable growth temperature is 36-38 ℃, and the most suitable growth ph value is 6.5-7.0.
