Ready to unlock the power of GOS?

Every child deserves the best start in life – and that begins with breast milk, which offers the greatest support for growth, development and immunity in infancy. But when breastfeeding isn’t possible, infant milk formula becomes an essential alternative.

Right after fat and lactose, oligosaccharides in human milk are the third most abundant solid – and they play a powerful role. These complex carbohydrates help shape a healthy gut microbiota from day one, supporting both digestion and immunity in early life.

With over 200 unique oligosaccharides in human milk, each offering potential health benefits, diversity matters. That’s why we believe that offering a wide range of oligosaccharide structures to infants is key to supporting a good start in life, when breastfeeding isn’t possible.

Our brand-new whitepaper dives into our latest breakthrough research in galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) that can help brands like yours unlock science-backed benefits for infants.

What you’ll learn

Deep dive into the complex nature of GOS

  • Gain insights into the diversity of oligosaccharides present in GOS, including human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) known as galactosyllactoses.

Explore the science behind galactosyllactoses (GLs)  

  • Learn from the latest science on 3’-GL, 4’-GL, and 6’-GL and their potential roles in supporting infant gut health and immunity. Plus, find out why not all GOS ingredients are the same.

Uncover new research into naturally delivering HMOs through GOS 

  • Discover how Vivinal® GOS-SL – a brand-new development from FrieslandCampina Ingredients – is setting a new standard, combining the trusted foundation of Vivinal® GOS with even more oligosaccharide diversity to push infant nutrition innovation.

Gain new insights into the synergistic interactions between GOS and HMOs   

  • Explore how combining GOS and HMOs like 2’-FL delivers broader, complementary health benefits to give babies the best possible start in life.
