Human milk oligosaccharides are complex carbohydrates naturally present in human breast milk. Manufacturers have been increasingly incorporating HMOs into infant formula as they are believed to offer various health benefits, including supporting gut health and immunity in infants. Infant formula manufacturers have been exploring different protein sources, such as hydrolyzed proteins and plant-based proteins (e.g., soy-based), to cater to infants with specific dietary needs or allergies. The aim is to provide nutritionally adequate alternatives to traditional cow's milk-based proteins.
