HMO,
a five star ingredient
For immune-nourishing support
Human milk is truly magnificent. We know it to be a powerful source of essential nutrients that sustain a baby’s early life.
Curiously the third most abundant component of human milk is a group of complex carbohydrates known as Human Milk Oligosaccharides (HMOs). HMOs nourish the infant’s healthy intestinal bacteria.
In other words, HMOs feed the ‘friendly’ gut bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract, where we know 70% of the immune system is located!
2’-FL HMO is a groundbreaking step toward nourishing good gut microbes that is now available beyond the breastfeeding years.
Growing Up Prebiotics is the first prebiotic supplement for toddlers and kids ages 1+ developed with Prebilac® 2’-FL HMO for immune-nourishing support.
Prebilac® 2’-FL HMO is supported by findings in clinical intervention studies in infants with demonstrated benefits that support digestive health, gut comfort and softer stools.

Biome’s first footsteps
Early life events shape the developing gut microbiome

Baby’s birth
Studies show that birth methods contribute to different gut microbiomes. Babies born vaginally shared their mom’s gut microbiome more than those delivered by C-section.
33%
about one third of babies
are born via c-section
Early Feeding
After birth, the leading determinant of infant gut microbial colonization is breastfeeding. Studies show that breastfeeding is associated with higher levels of Bifidobacterium.
53%
mom’s no longer exclusively breastfeeding by 3 months
Antibiotics
Antibiotics can be life saving! While they can kill the bad bacteria, they can also damage the good gut bacteria, which can lead to an imbalance in the gut called dysbiosis.
50%
of toddlers are exposed to antibiotics before age 3

Picky eater
The developing gut microbiome thrives on healthful nutrition. Picky eaters can impact their gut microbiome health by not eating the fiber needed to feed the good gut bugs.
