Bioactive Nutrients in Human Milk: Foundations for Infant Health

In this video, Prof. Miguel Saens De Pipaon explains the essential role of bioactive nutrients in human milk and how they support infant growth, immune function and development. The session highlights that breastmilk is more than a source of nutrition, acting as a complex biological system delivering immunological, metabolic and developmental signals. It also explores how these bioactive components interact with the infant gut microbiota, shaping early health and influencing long‑term outcomes.
