The Role of HMOs

This video focuses on two of the most abundant and wellresearched human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) - 2′FL and LNnT. It outlines their roles in supporting immune function, strengthening the gut barrier, and modulating microbiota, and how these mechanisms support with the dietary management of cow’s milk protein allergy (CMPA).

This video looks at the HMO journey—decades of scientific research that have deepened our understanding of what human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) are and how they contribute to the development of infant immunity. It highlights how this evidence base has enabled Nestlé to incorporate key HMOs into specialist infant formulas, supporting continued innovation.

This video offers an introduction to human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs), a key component of human milk. In this introduction we look at what HMOs are, how they are formed and how their benefits are linked to their unique structures.
