What does an HMO prebiotic do? Do I need it? – Tiny Health

Human Milk Oligosaccharides (HMOs) are special sugars that are naturally found in breastmilk. Now certain HMOs can be manufactured and put in supplements.

Certain beneficial bacteria such as Bifidobacterium and Akkermansia feed off of HMOs so pairing an HMO prebiotic with a Bifidobacterium probiotic can help it flourish and take hold in the gut.

We’ll recommend an HMO prebiotic based on your results. See your Action Plan for more information.
