Breakthroughs in Milk Oligosaccharides for Early Life Nutrition

Breast milk is not only the best nutrition for infants; it is a biological system of components working together to support their overall development, including that of the immune functions. This includes supplying a diverse range of milk oligosaccharides to match the child’s developmental needs. The latest evidence suggests that supplementing milk formula with a diverse range of synthetic milk oligosaccharides shows promise for supporting the gut microbiota development and the immune functions in non-breastfed children.
