Human breast milk contains unique carbohydrate components called human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs). HMOs are the third most abundant solid component in human breast milk after lactose and lipids, with 6′-sialyllactose (6′-SL) being the most abundant HMO of the sialylated oligosaccharide subgroup. Complex sugars such as HMOs are a valuable food source for gut bacteria, which contribute to a healthy gut flora. Additionally, HMOs are being researched for their potential benefits in modulating the intestinal flora, the immune system or their influence on nervous system development.
The exclusively vegetarian HMO 2'-fucosyllactose and 3′- and 6′-sialyllactose used for our CogniBiom powder is produced by microbial fermentation of cassava and lactose from cow's milk. The purification via ion exchangers and filtration leads to a particularly high purity and excellent concentration of the ingredient; subsequent spray drying produces an end product with an HMO content of at least 87%. This elaborate process guarantees a particularly high quality and pure product that is completely additive-free. With a lactose content of up to 3%, our product contains less lactose than normal cow's milk.
We use environmentally friendly amber glass jars for the packaging of this product.
