Abstract
Personalized nutrition has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy for metabolic disorders such as obesity, insulin resistance, and dyslipidemia. Human breast milk contains bioactive peptides, immunomodulators, and metabolic hormones beneficial for glucose homeostasis and lipid regulation. This manuscript explores the development of an AI-driven breast milk tablet formulation tailored to individual metabolic profiles. Patient datasets, including body mass index (BMI), lipid panels, HbA1c levels, satiety hormone profiles, and gut microbiome markers, were analyzed using machine-learning algorithms to predict optimal concentrations of key milk-derived bioactives. A cohort of 120 adults (aged 25–55) underwent a 12-week intervention, receiving AI-formulated breast milk tablets. Results indicated significant improvement in fasting glucose, LDL cholesterol, and HOMA-IR scores, along with improved satiety perception. The tablets demonstrated high bioavailability, stability, and favorable safety outcomes. AI-guided personalization may represent a promising advancement in nutraceutical precision medicine. Further research is recommended to standardize biomarkers, validate long-term efficacy, and explore manufacturing scalability.
Introduction
Metabolic diseases are increasing globally, driven by obesity, sedentary lifestyles, and dietary imbalances. The World Health Organization recognizes metabolic syndrome as a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease and diabetes [1]. Current pharmacotherapies offer management but are associated with variable efficacy, cost, and adverse effects. Human breast milk is a natural source of immunoglobulins, lactoferrin, bioactive peptides, oligosaccharides, and metabolic hormones such as leptin and adiponectin [2]. These compounds influence gut microbiota, insulin sensitivity, and lipid metabolism [3]. However, adult access to these bioactives is limited. Artificial intelligence provides an innovative pathway for tailoring nutrient formulations based on individual phenotypic and metabolic data. AI-generated recommendations increasingly improve dosing accuracy and safety in clinical nutrition [4]. When combined with standardized extraction of human-milk-derived compounds, individualized breast milk tablets could serve as a safe adjunctive therapy for metabolic management. This study investigates the feasibility, efficacy, and safety of AI-personalized breast milk tablet formulations in adults presenting metabolic risk profiles.
Literature Review
Breast milk components have shown therapeutic potential beyond infant nutrition. Lactoferrin exhibits antimicrobial and antidiabetic properties by modulating inflammatory pathways [5]. Oligosaccharides stimulate beneficial bacteria such as Bifidobacteria, linked to improved metabolic outcomes [6]. Casein-derived peptides have shown cholesterol-lowering effects through bile acid sequestration [7].
Personalized nutrition has demonstrated success in predicting glycemic responses using machine-learning models [8]. Gut microbiome signatures further distinguish responders from non-responders to nutritional interventions [9]. Furthermore, AI-based dietary optimization has improved weight management outcomes compared to standard counseling approaches [10].
Research into adult supplementation using human-milk-derived compounds remains limited but emerging evidence suggests immunomodulatory and metabolic benefits [11]. However, standardized formulation, dose personalization, and bioavailability remain challenges.

Discussion
AI-optimized breast milk tablet formulation demonstrated significant metabolic benefits. Personalized dosing enhanced therapeutic relevance, aligning with precision medicine trends. Improved satiety suggests leptin-based signaling modulation [12]. AI successfully integrated diverse input data, overcoming limitations of one-size-fits-all nutritional supplementation. Gut microbiome enhancement supports emerging literature correlating microbial diversity with insulin sensitivity [13]. The study supports growing evidence favoring personalized nutraceuticals over standardized supplements [14]. Limitations include sample size, short intervention duration, and cost complexity. Scalability challenges revolve around ethical sourcing of human-milk bioactives; however, recombinant biomanufacturing may address this in future research [15-18].
Conclusion
AI-personalized breast milk tablets significantly improved metabolic biomarkers, satiety, and microbiome balance in adults with metabolic risk factors. The precision-guided approach demonstrates superior outcomes compared to generic nutritional supplementation. Future work should assess long-term cardiometabolic outcomes, optimize cost-effectiveness, and integrate larger biomarker panels.
