New Study on the Impact of Oligosaccharide 2'FL in Human Infants

Earlier studies in animals have shown a relationship between the oligosaccharide 2'FL and greater neurodevelopment. This first study in a human population has correlated infant intake of 2'FL with enhanced cognitive development, with a particular benefit to infants' early exposure to human milk.
