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
2’-fucosyllactose
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.
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.
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
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.
