An interactive PDF of HMO studies focusing on immune support, brain development, and digestive health.
A collection of studies, articles, and research regarding the beneficial effects of HMOs in infants and HMO structure.
An interactive PDF of HMO studies focusing on immune support, brain development, and digestive health.
A review that introduces the pioneers in HMO research, outlines HMO structural diversity, and describes what is known about HMO biosynthesis in the mother's mammary gland and their metabolism in the breastfed infant. The second part highlights the beneficial effects of HMOs for breastfed infants, compares HMOs with oligosaccharides in the milk of other mammals and in infant formula, and summarizes HMO research.
