Human milk oligosaccharide. Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs), also known as human milk glycans, are short polymers of simple sugars that can be found in high concentrations in human breast milk. [1] Human milk oligosaccharides promote the development of the immune system, can reduce the risk of pathogen infections and improve brain ...
Human breast milk contains unique and highly diverse human milk oligosaccharides.These oligosaccharides are considered to be a "Bifidus Factor" because they form highly desired intestinal bacteria; it is for this reason that baby formula contains added oligosaccharides in order to help build a child's immune system.

An endogenous source of prebiotics in humans is human breast milk, which contains oligosaccharides structurally similar to galactooligosaccharides, referred to as human milk oligosaccharides. [ 26 ] [ 9 ] [ 22 ] [ 3 ] Human milk oligosaccharides were found to increase the Bifidobacteria bacterial population in breastfed infants, and to ...
