Specific HMOs 2’FL, 3’FL and 3’SL linked to infant brain development

Associations of Human Milk Oligosaccharides with Infant Brain Tissue Organization and Regional Blood Flow at 1 Month of Age.

Breakthrough Study Sheds Light On Bifidobacteria Impact on HMOs and Infant Gut Microbiome

Priority effects shape the structure of infant-type Bifidobacterium communities on human milk oligosaccharides

Largest review to date: Systematic analysis reveals 5 most prevalent HMOs including 2’-FL varies in breastmilk

Over 150 human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) have been identified and their concentrations in human milk vary depending on Secretor and Lewis blood group status, environmental and geographical factors, lactation stage, gestational period, and maternal health

HMOs including 2′-FL support healthy gut microbial metabolite production

Human milk oligosaccharide-sharing by a consortium of infant derived Bifidobacterium species.

Growth, Tolerability, Safety and Infection Risk in Infants with Cow’s Milk Protein Allergy

Effects of an Extensively Hydrolyzed Formula Supplemented with Two Human Milk Oligosaccharides on Growth, Tolerability, Safety and Infection Risk in Infants with Cow’s Milk Protein Allergy: A Randomized, Multi-Center Trial

Breast milk components and their health functions: the science so far

Paediatric experts have reviewed the nutritional constituents that have thus far been identified in human breast milk, along with their associated health benefits.

Gut simulation expands health benefits of HMOs in adults

The potential health effects of human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) for adults may extend beyond just promoting the growth of beneficial Bifidobacteria to also impacting immune function and the gut barrier, says a new study.

HMO supplementation may boost bowel function and help adults with IBS: Study

Supplementation with the human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) HMOs 2′-fucosyllactose (2’FL), and lacto-N-neotetraose (LNnT) may normalize bowel function and improve bloating and IBS severity in adults, says a new study.

New findings detail HMO levels in breast milk of Chinese mothers

New insights into HMO levels in the breast milk of Chinese mothers has been detailed in a study funded by Abbott, in what is believed to be the first to cover a prolonged study period of 400 days postpartum.

“First-of-its-kind” HMO supplement supports adults’ digestive and immune health

Standard Process has revealed GI Stability, a prebiotic wafer containing 2’-Fucosyllactose (2’-FL), a human milk oligosaccharide (HMO). Targeting adults, the wholefood supplement also contains Collinsonia root, beet and okra powder, and comes at a time when HMOs are being increasingly investigated for the health of both infants and adults. The company touts its “first-of-it-kind” supplement as being able to provide an immune system boost while stimulating the growth of favorable microbial bacteria

HMOs Research

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.
