Abstract

Human milk offers physiologic benefits, promotes healthy growth, and protects infants from illnesses and infections. Breastfeeding mothers can transmit phytochemicals from their food to their milk, which may help their infants overcome oxidative stress. Despite the fact that a substantial number of phytochemicals have been discovered, a significant portion of phytochemicals remain unknown. This research aims to identify; 1) types of phytochemicals present, 2) investigate the differences between lactation stages and 3) compare them to other milk samples from literature search.
