Studies confirm that in human milk, fatty acids (mainly triglycerides) are esterified to glycerol backbone in a unique order, which differs from the form found in oils from vegetable or cow milk sources.

Palmitic acid is a major fatty acid present in human milk, most?(70-75%) is?bound?to the SN-2?position of glycerol, in which case is known as 1,3-oleic?acid-2-palmitate?triglyceride (OPO).

Research found that?OPO?brings at least the following benefits to infants and young children:
1.?Reduce crying by up to?75% in newborns, soften stool, and reduce constipation
2.?Enhance absorption of calcium and fatty acids and strengthen bones
3.?Improve intestinal flora
