HMO Academy

Human Milk Oligosaccharides (HMOs)are an exciting and central area of research in infant nutrition. Scientific advances on HMOs are helping us know more about the role and importance of these essential components of Human milk. The HMO Academy has been created to share evidence-based information in interactive and user-friendly way from more than a decade of research on HMO.
