Scientists have prepared 'mother's milk' in the lab, will be available in the market after 3 years

New York: Mother's milk is very important for every child. Rather, according to experts, only mother's milk should be given for at least 4 to 6 months for good physical and mental growth of the child. However, sometimes due to some reason the mother's milk is not available to the babies. A great discovery has been made for such children. Scientists have prepared mother's milk in the lab.

American start-up Biomilk has achieved this feat. Biomilk has succeeded in producing milk from breast cells of women. The company says that this milk prepared in the lab, to a large extent, contains all the nutrients that are usually found in breast milk. Such as proteins, complex carbohydrates, bioactive lipids, etc.

Although there is only one difference between the two milks, that is the antibodies. Dr. Leela Strickland, Co-Founder and Chief Science Officer of Biomilk, said in a conversation with Forbes that despite the absence of antibodies, the nutritional and bioactive composition of our product is higher than any other product. Also, it is very similar to breast milk.

According to Insider.com, the son of Strickland, a cell biologist by profession, was born prematurely. Because of this, he had to face a lot of difficulties in giving enough milk for his son. After this, in 2013, he started work in this direction to prepare breast milk in the lab. In 2019, he partnered with food scientist Michelle Egger.

Agar says that our product supports immune development, intestinal maturation, microbiome population and brain development in a way that no other product can. It is our endeavor to make this product available in the market in the next three years.

These women scientists, who have made such a big discovery, say that they do not want to end breast feeding through their product. Rather, their purpose is to give the option of breast feeding. She wants that everyone should have the right to make better decisions for their family. Under this, we are giving an option through our product.
