Usage

What is 2'-fucosyllactose (2'-FL)?

2'-fucosyllactose (2'-FL) is a type of human milk oligosaccharide (HMO), a complex carbohydrate found in human breast milk. It offers several advantages, particularly in infant nutrition and health:

1. Prebiotic Properties: 2'-FL acts as a prebiotic, selectively promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria like Bifidobacteria in the infant gut. These bacteria play a crucial role in developing a healthy immune system and protecting against pathogens.

2. Immune System Support: It contributes to the development and modulation of the infant's immune system, helping to reduce the risk of infections and supporting overall immune function.

3. Gut Health: By fostering a balanced gut microbiota, 2'-FL may help prevent digestive issues such as diarrhea and constipation in infants.

4. Anti-inflammatory Effects: Studies suggest that 2'-FL possesses anti-inflammatory properties, potentially reducing the risk of inflammatory-related conditions.

5. Brain Development: Some research indicates that HMOs, including 2'-FL, might have positive effects on cognitive development in infants.

6. Mimicking Breast Milk: 2'-FL is the most abundant HMO found in breast milk, so its addition to infant formula aims to replicate the benefits of breast milk more closely.

The inclusion of 2'-FL in infant formula is an effort to enhance the nutritional value and health benefits of formula feeding, trying to bridge the gap between breast milk and formula and potentially offering similar advantages to infants who are not breastfed.
