FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT OUR PRODUCTS
What is 2'-FL HMO?
2'-FL HMO, or 2'-fucosyllactose human milk oligosaccharide is a prebiotic found naturally in breastmilk. About 80 percent of mothers make 2'-FL in their breastmilk¹. There are 150 different HMOs and 2'-FL is the most prominent in breastmilk². The 2'-FL in this product is not derived from breastmilk.
Why is 2'-FL considered a human milk oligosaccharide if it's not actually sourced from human breastmilk?
Scientists refer to several compounds as human milk oligosaccharides, regardless of whether they come from human milk or fermentation. The ingredient we use is structurally identical to the 2'-FL human milk oligosaccharide found in breastmilk.
