Mother’s milk is complex by nature: so far, more than 200 oligosaccharide structures have been identified in human milk
German et al., 2008
, each of which is expected to have its own potential benefits for infant gut health and immunity. FrieslandCampina Ingredients’ latest GOS innovation, Vivinal® GOS-SL, is a complex solution that contains more than 100 oligosaccharide structures. Some of these structures are present in human milk such as galactosyllactoses 3’-GL, 4’-GL and 6’-GL and sialyllactoses 3’-SL and 6’-SL.
Vivinal® GOS-SL has the same composition as Vivinal® GOS, including 3’-GL, 4’-GL and 6’-GL, but now also contains 3’-SL and 6’-SL from bovine milk origin. 3’-GL, 4’-GL, 6’-GL, 3’-SL and 6’-SL present in Vivinal® GOS-SL have the same structure as the ones in human milk.
3’-GL, 4’-GL, 6’-GL, 3’-SL and 6’-SL present in Vivinal® GOS-SL have the same structure as the ones in human milk*.
3’-GL, 4’-GL and 6’-GL have been reported to have 6anti-infl ammatory eff ects5 and can promote the growth of beneficial gut bacteria6,7.
3’-SL and 6’-SL have been associated with improved learning & memory, neurodevelopment, language development8,9 and reduced rotavirus, RSV and infl uenza virus infectivity10,11.
GOS have been shown to stimulate the growth of Bifi dobacteria and Lactobacilli12,13, support normal gut transit14-17, stool consistency15 and mineral absorption18-21.
Our unique production process ensures SL enrichment and guarantees consistent SL and GL levels in Vivinal® GOS-SL syrup.
Adding 6.5% Vivinal® GOS-SL syrup to an infant formula can provide 25% of the 3’-SL levels and 100% of the GL levels present in mature human milk22,23, while supporting key health benefits for infants – gut health, immunity, brain health – and possibly claim 5 HMOs (3’-GL, 4’-GL, 6’-GL, 3’-SL and 6’-SL) on pack and/or on point-of-sales materials*.
Gut health, immunity and brain health are top concerns of parents of 0-12 months old infants. Globally, 55% of parents fi nd gut health and cognitive development important, while immunity is the #1 concern24.
