Human Milk Oligosaccharides

Human Milk Oligosaccharides (HMOs) are complex, non-digestible carbohydrates originally studied in breast milk.

The HMOs in Innagia are structurally identical to those found in human milk but are produced via sustainable fermentation.

HMOs have been widely studied for their interactions with gut microbes, particularly in infants, and research continues into how these interactions may be relevant later in life.

HMOs may be utilized as nutrients and explored for their role in shaping microbial communities and diversity in the gut.

Innagia includes a carefully designed blend of HMOs, studied for their relationship with the gut microbiome and the beneficial compounds it produces - including compounds derived from pomegranate such as urolithin A.

Human milk oligosaccharides come in many shape and forms. Learn more about the individual HMOs in Innagia.

  • 2'Fucoosyllactose

    2’FL is the most abundant fucosylated HMO in human milk, present at approximately 2 g/L. Scientific studies investigate its interactions with gut microbes and how it may function alongside other HMOs, such as LNnT.

  • Lacto-N-neotetraose

    LNnT is a neutral core HMO found in human milk at around 0.1–0.4 g/L. Research continues to explore its interactions with gut microbes and its combined role with 2’FL in shaping microbial communities.
