Synergistic synbiotics

The future of early life nutrition is here. At WCPGHAN 2024, discover how our groundbreaking partnership with Lallemand Health Solutions combines HMOs with Expert'Biotic probiotic baby strains to support health and development in the first 2,200 days of life.

When breastfeeding isn't possible, our synergistic synbiotic solutions help bring the composition of the infant gut microbiome closer to that of breastfed infants. By combining HMOs that act as prebiotic agents with specific probiotic strains that utilize them, we're creating solutions that strengthen gut barrier function, support immune system development, and promote healthy gut brain axis development.

Synbiotics – Unlocking synergies of HMOs and probiotics for infant health & development 

Join Dr. Lars Bode, Director of the Human Milk Institute at the University of California, on Friday December 6th from 12:30-13:30 in Room E, as he explores how specific HMOs can selectively promote the growth of probiotic strains to enhance infant health outcomes. 

Register for the symposium to discover how these innovations are helping bring the composition and functionality of infant nutrition closer to breast milk, the gold standard for infant nutrition. 

HMOs: Giving infants the best start in life

HMOs are complex carbohydrate structures and the third most abundant solid component in human milk. Through pioneering research and development, we can now incorporate these vital compounds into infant nutrition solutions to better mirror the composition and functionality of breast milk.

Clinical research shows that HMOs play a crucial role during the first thousand days of life, helping to nourish beneficial gut bacteria, support immune system development, and protect against harmful microbes. With over 200 HMO structures identified in breast milk, our leading HMO portfolio offers opportunities to enhance infant nutrition in ways previously not possible.
