HMOs and Gut Microbiome Maturation Trajectory During Early Life

Growing evidence suggests that the maturation of the gut microbiome in the first years of life can influence a child's health and development. Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) are important modulators of early gut microbiome development, explaining in part the positive effect of breastfeeding on gut microbiome trajectories.

Latest results of a clinical trial show the beneficial effect of 5 specific HMOs on early gut microbiome trajectories and body growth through toddlerhood.

Results are also available in presentation slides and video formats.
