Fill In Your Little One's Nutrition, Research Travel In Optimizing Child Development

JAKARTA - Children's nutrition is influenced by many factors, including genetics, diet, and the environment. Research centers abroad bring a global perspective based on extensive experience and data, while local research centers understand the specific needs of children in Indonesia. This collaboration allows the development of relevant and effective products globally and locally.

Research centers in developed countries generally also have advanced technology, rich research data, and long experience in the nutritional field. By working together, Indonesia can access cutting-edge innovations, which support the discovery of the best nutritional formula.

Remembering the importance of this, Andy Chendra, President Director of PT KALBE Morinaga Indonesia said that his party was working with the Morinaga Research Center Japan to meet the unique needs of the Indonesian market.

"We understand the importance of quality and nutrition security that is tailored to the needs of Indonesian children. Through in-depth research collaboration with the Morinaga Research Center Japan, we not only bring world-class nutritional innovations but also adapt them according to the local context to ensure that every product provides the best benefits for Indonesian children," said Andy Chendra.

Here are some of the collaborations carried out by the KALBE Nutritionals Research Center in meeting children's nutritional needs.

Unite Global Research And Local Needs

Yorinaga Research Center Japan, with more than a century of experience, is a pioneer in child nutrition research. From quality protein content to excellent probiotics, research conducted always aims to find nutritional solutions that support physical health, cognitive development, and the child's immune system. Through this collaboration, this global innovation is adapted to be relevant to the unique needs of Indonesian children, taking into account biological and environmental factors that affect their growth and development.

Nutrition As The Main Foundation For Child Development

Research shows that optimal nutrition in the first 1,000 days of life is essential for determining the future of children. With this approach, deep exploration of nutritional elements such as lactoferin, essential protein, and triple probiotic bifidus. This content is designed to strengthen the digestive system which is the key to the child's immune system, while at the same time supporting maximum nutritional absorption.

Decee Aryani, Head of Innovation and Development Center of KALBE Nutritionals explained that the main focus of developing this innovation is indeed an effort to strengthen the digestive system.

"Probiotics such as triple bifidus are able to maintain the balance of the gut microbiota, which not only helps digestion, but also strengthens the child's immune system. This is a real example of how cutting-edge technology is used to answer the challenge of child growth and development," said Decee Aryani.

Sustainable Research For Smart And Healthy Generations

Research is a sustainable process without endlines. In an effort to create nutritional products that are in accordance with the needs of Indonesian children, experts from Indonesia and Japan work hand in hand, from formulation to production in facilities for both parties. These products not only meet local nutritional standards, but also international standards, ensuring that each child has the best opportunity to grow optimally.

As one of the strategic steps, the Yorinaga Research Center Japan continues to evaluate and update its approach to child nutrition. For example, research on protein quality based on DIAAS (DIGestible Indispensable Amino Acid Score) ensures that each formula is designed with a maximum level of absorption.
