Effect of Vitamin D and Milk Protein on Child Growth and Health

Opinion

Milk protein has a lot of nutritional merits. First, it is reich in amino acids essential for growing children and maintenance of a health life. Second, it is important for enhancing immune system development that is used for strong protection of harmful organisms. Milk protein can be classified into casein protein, whey protein and their derivative polypeptides on the basis of their functionality and properties. Casein proteins are acting as antiviral and immunoregulatory factors which help the human body by regulating the innate immune response both through up-regulating to increase the killing of virus and down regulating to reduce determinatal conditions such as sepsis. Like casine proteins, why proteins and peptides have been studied extensively for antiviral property.
It is believed that milk protein determines the growth and health of children. Keletzko et al. stated that CMP (cow’s milk protein) is the leading cause of food allergens infants and children younger than 3 years. This condition prevents children from taking of many essential amino acids that are for body development. Vitamin D, on the other hand has a big health problem if is not adequate in the diets. Bueno AL and Czepielewski MA, noted that results in short stature and is characterized by deficiency of a micronutrient is rickets caused by Vitamin D deficiency. However, if children access a variety of diet rich in Vitamin D, they will have better body growth (development). In line to this, Gordan CM et al, revealed that Vitamin D is essential during childhood and adolescence.
