The Power of Human Milk Oligosaccharides

Description

Breast milk is the gold standard for babies’ nutrition — with a perfect blend of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and other components that support a baby's immune system. Within this nutritional powerhouse, there are unique prebiotics called human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs). Based on three decades of research, experts believe HMOs could be one of the factors behind breast milk's immune system-supporting properties.

Until 2016, HMOs were not added to infant formula. Now, thanks to cutting-edge research, those who choose to use infant formula can opt to feed their babies formula that has a blend of 5 different HMOs.

A Primer on Protein in Infant Formula

Description

Protein plays a critical role in a baby’s growth and development and is one of the key nutrients present in infant formula. Similar to breast milk, there are several types of proteins present in infant formula, each with their own unique role and digestive profile. Depending on the specific needs of the infant it is intended for, the exact protein composition may vary in infant formulas.
