Human Milk Oligosaccharides
Naturally occurring in breast milk, Human Milk Oligosaccharides (HMOs) have evolved over thousands of years, with HMO research suggesting that specific HMOs can provide us with unique health benefits. In particular, HMOs may help support immunity and gut health, with a potential role in cognitive development, which may open future innovation opportunities.
HMO Donation Program
The HMO donation program was established in 2010 to expand the knowledge and support the research in HMOs. All healthcare professionals, researchers and academics interested in the field of Human Milk Oligosaccharide research can apply for HMO donation.
To date, DSM has supported over 100 research projects through the donation program. These projects span 55 different research centers all around the globe. The donation program accesses DSM’s HMO library, which contains nearly 20 different HMO structures and mixtures.
HMOs and Probiotics: Working together to enhance infant health with Synbiotics
We're thrilled to announce a groundbreaking partnership between dsm-firmenich, the HMO pioneer and Lallemand Health Solutions, a leader in probiotics. Together, we are on a mission to explore the health benefits of these synbiotic interactions between science. Indeed, specific combinations of HMOs and probiotic strains demonstrate unique synergies fostering infant health & optimum development. Partner with us on our synbiotic research to unlock a range of benefits linked to immune support, gut health, brain development, and metabolic well-being.
