21973-23-9

Lacto-N-fucopentaose II (LNFP II) is a specific pentasaccharide belonging to the family of Human Milk Oligosaccharides (HMOs). As a fucosylated carbohydrate, it is a non-digestible prebiotic that passes through the infant's digestive system to the colon. There, it selectively stimulates the growth of beneficial bacteria, such as Bifidobacterium, helping to establish a healthy gut microbiome and supporting the infant's immune system development.
