Human breast milk provides the primary source of nutrition for newborns before they are able to eat and digest other foods. One distinctive property of human milk from most other species is the amount and diversity of the free oligosaccharide it contains. These human milk oligosaccharides (HMO) can be present at levels of up to 12 g/l in milk and up to 20 g/l in colostrum.¹ HMO have been attributed with a variety of functions including:

1) Prebiotic
2) Decoy carbohydrate
3) Immunomodulation
