INTRODUCTION TO HUMAN MILK OLIGOSACCHARIDES (HMOs)
Unpleasant gut symptoms are impacting 50% of all Australians – including bloating, gas and constipation.1 While prebiotics are staples in gut health treatment, 2’-Fucosyllactose (2’-FL) a Human Milk Oligosaccharide is one of the latest prebiotics with promising research for gut health.2
HUMAN MILK OLIGOSACCHARIDES (HMOs) MECHANISM OF ACTION
HMOs are complex oligosaccharides made up of unconjugated glycans with more than 150 different HMOs been described to date. 2’-FL is the most abundant and therefore one of the most researched of the HMOs3. New and emerging research is demonstrating the benefits of this unique prebiotic in adults in areas of:
GASTROINTESTINAL INTEGRITY
Direct and indirect support for tight junction formation in the intestinal barrier to decrease gut permeability.4-6
IMPROVING MICROBIAL BALANCE
Exclusively feed beneficial gut microbes, not the bad.7,8
SUPPORTING GUT MEDIATED IMMUNE FUNCTION
Immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory activity within the large intestine.4
MICROBIOME, DYSBIOSIS AND GUT DISORDERS
The Use of Prebiotics in Clinical Practice
Presented by Dr Brad Leech
Explore microbiome interpretation in the clinic setting and correlate it with symptoms and dysbiosis treatments. Then delve into treatment approaches and analyse prebiotics, including HMOs, and concerns such as bloating and constipation including actionable strategies for practice.
USING MICROBIOME MAPPING TOOLS IN YOUR CLINIC
How HMOs Impacted Gut Immunity Results in Patients
Presented by Vanita Dahia
Explore how to use and interpret microbiome analysis and demonstrate the role of HMO's and additional agents such as antimicrobials in gut health. Also discover analysis and clinical application of HMOs in dysbiosis including case studies.
FEEDING YOUR GUT
Tools to support, nourish and mend your patient’s gut
Presented by Geraldine Georgeou, APD
