main product photo
Lacto-N-tetraose is an oligosaccharide that serves as a core structure of human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) found in human milk. This compound is composed of galactose, N-acetylglucosamine, and glucose, exhibiting prebiotic properties that support gut health. Lacto-N-tetraose is known for its immune regulatory, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial activities, making it valuable for research in infant nutrition and gut microbiota modulation. Its applications extend to the formulation of infant milk products to mimic the beneficial effects of natural human milk.
