| Summary: | Dear Readers,
For healthy development and growth in childhood, the intestinal flora, or microbiome, plays a key
role. The particular makeup of breast milk provides
the optimum nutrition for the newly born child and a
support for the microbiome. This contains an abundance of positive substances. Current interest has
been focusing on the so-called human milk oligosaccharides (HMO) as a centre of particular attention,
which represents an essential part of the content of
breast milk. The importance of these components
has already been known to researchers for some
time, but it has not been possible until recently to
enrich infant formulae with selected and particularly important HMOs. These HMOs are the same as
those found in breast milk. They have been positively
evaluated both in Europe and in the United States
(„Novel Food“ status by the EFSA, GRAS status by
the FDA). The first results of these studies look very
promising. Learn more about this exciting topic on
the following pages! |
