HMOs ARE IMMUNE-NOURISHING PREBIOTICS WITH UNIQUE STRUCTURES NATURALLY FOUND IN HUMAN MILK
Emerging science shows HMOs support baby's body in several ways:
IMMUNE HEALTH | COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT | DIGESTIVE HEALTH
OTHER PREBIOTICS, NOT FOUND IN HUMAN MILK, like GOS, FOS, and PDX, are added to infant formulas to try to mimic the unique benefits of HMOs. But research indicates that they do not function the same way as HMOs in baby's body, due to their structures.
HMOs PLAY 3 IMPORTANT ROLES to support baby’s developing immune system, in unique ways other prebiotics cannot.
| SIMILAC® PRO-SERIES | ENFAMIL INFANT FORMULAS | |
| Has HMOs, the most abundant solid component in breast milk after fats and lactose | ✔ | ✔ |
| First leading formula with 2'-FL HMO for immune support | ✔ | ❌ |
| Backed by more than 25 years of HMO research | ✔ | ❌ |
✔ Reported significantly fewer respiratory infections 1,2,‡
✔ Shown to support immune cell response to RSV more like the breastfed infant 3,§
* In most mother's milk.
† Not from human milk.
‡ Similac with 2'-FL HMO compared to control formula without 2'-FL HMO, based on a post hoc analysis of adverse events.
§ Study with Similac Pro-Advance®; using cells from infant’s blood that were challenged with RSV ex vivo.
