  4′-Galactosyllactose is a human milk oligosaccharide (HMO).  HMOs are complex carbohydrates present in human milk as a naturally occurring prebiotic. Besides their prebiotic effect, HMOs are also effective antimicronials and antivirals, and regulators of inflammatory immune cell-response cascades.^{1 2 3 4 5}
