2'-Fucosyllactose is one type of Human Milk Oligosaccharide. There are more than 200 different types of HMOs in all with 2'-FL as the most abundant variety accounting for about 30% of all HMOs. It is an oligosaccharide - specifically it is fucosylated, neutral trisaccharide composed of L-fucose, D-galactose, and D-glucose units. It can be biosynthesized at scale using E. Coli.
As with other oligosaccharides, a main characteristic of 2'-Fucosyllactose is its ability to protect against infectious disease. It's best known for preventing epithelial level adhesions of toxins and pathogens. The 2'-FL stimulates the growth of bifidobacteria and receptor analogons which leads to toxic and pathogenic protection. 2'-FL is known to protect against Campylobacter jejuni, Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium, Helicobacter pylori, and others.
Research into the various health benefits of HMOs has accelerated as more HMO varieties become commercially available at scale. We're ranking benefits based on data and findings in research publications on HMOs. There is extensive researching demonstrating that 2'FL and LNnT provide benefits for gut health. There is some evidence, but not quite as strong, that both 2'FL and LNnT provide benefits for immune health. Brain health is boosted by 2'FL, 3'SL, and 6'SL according to some of the available research. Be sure to choose the right human milk oligosaccharide supplement for you, whether it is a 2'-FL supplement, or one that is a combination — a 2'-Fucosyllactose, Lacto-N-neotetraose supplement.
Both human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) and prebiotic oligosaccharides (PBOs) belong to the large class of carbohydrates, but they have completely different structures.
Human Milk Oligosaccharides have been growing in popularity in human nutrition since 2015. HMO is naturally found in breast milk and serves as nature's preferred prebiotic. They are produced in the lactating mammary glands
HMO is a special prebiotic that's quite different from GOS, FOS, and XOS because of where it comes from.
Human Milk Oligosaccharide (HMO) consists of complex sugar molecules. Unlike GOS, FOS, and even XOS, which can cause some of same problems people take them to avoid (gas, bloating, IBS sypmtoms), HMO does not have that effect.
When considering the difference be¬tween GOS/FOS and HMOs, two major aspects have to be considered:
(A) The monosaccharide composition
(B) The linkage between them. The linkage is very important because specific functions including defense mechanisms, immune functions, or anti-inflammatory effects strongly de-pend on those linkages.

Love these! Feel great and also make me feel less hungry, which is a bonus 👌
Seems to have had a positive effect on mood and bowel movement.
Been taking it for a few months now. Helps me feel much better.
I've been using HMO for about two months now. It has definitely improved my abdominal comfort (I suffer from IBS and IBD). I have also noticed a slight improvement in regularity as well. Would recommend. However, it must be in conjunction with a healthy lifestyle.
My babies were suffering from severe constipation from the formula we had them on. We used the smallest pinch of HMO in their bottles for a few days and their bowels become regular again. We now only need to pop a pinch of HMO into their bottles once every 2nd or 3rd day as it was working too well. Both babies are much happier now they are regular.
