Human Milk Oligosaccharide - HMO

Human Milk Oligosaccharides, HMOs, are sugars that exist in human breast milk. They are the third-most-abundant solid component after lactose and fats. These HMOs are diverse, biologically active components that are beneficial to infants and adults alike. As prebiotics they pass through a baby’s gut undigested, modulating the infant microbiota, basically helping to cultivate the infant’s microbial garden. Even more important are benefits such as gut health, immune health, and cognitive health and neurological development. HMOs can be included in general food, early life nutrition, dietary supplements and therapeutic nutrition products. Inbiose is a leading developer, producer and innovation partner for an ever increasing number of HMOs and health-promoting specialty carbohydrates.
