Yes dear! HMOs, are a very special type of prebiotic found in human milk. In fact, they are the third largest component of human milk after carbohydrates (lactose) and fat. it gives age appropriate nutrients to support overall growth and development of your baby.<br>

Hi, these are non-digestible carbohydrates found in breast milk, have beneficial effects on infant health by acting as substrates for immune-modulating bacteria in the intestinal tract. Some have included the synthetic HMOs in infant formula products..
