Protein & sugar: This is a combination of various sugars and proteins providing nutritional calories and essential Amino Acids to create energy and build muscles. In addition immunoglobulins which confer passive immunity as well as vitamins and minerals are transmitted with the breast milk, it is created in the glands of the breast and collected in the ductal system to be delivered via the nipple.
