Background
Lacto-N-neotetraose (LNnT) is a specific tetrasaccharide and one of the most abundant Human Milk Oligosaccharides (HMOs). Found in human breast milk, it is not digested by the infant but serves as a nutrient for beneficial gut bacteria, particularly Bifidobacterium. As a prebiotic, LNnT plays a crucial role in establishing a healthy gut microbiome, supporting infant immunity and overall health.
