Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) are the third most abundant solid component of human milk after fat and lactose. As a prebiotic, research shows that HMOs help promote a healthy gut and support the immune system.
As an iron-binding protein, research shows that lactoferrin supports the immune system, can protect against infections, and also support gut health.
