An Allergy Modulating Milk Oligosaccharide: 2'Fucosyllactose
Course Description:
In this course, you’ll review clinical studies supporting the immune benefits of 2'-fucosyllactose milk oligosaccharide (2'-FL Milk Oligosaccharides); discuss preclinical evidence of 2'-FL Milk Oligosaccharides effects on food allergy and potential mechanisms of action; and describe the possible role of 2'-FL Milk Oligosaccharides in enhancing oral tolerance. Originally presented as a live webinar on 3 June 2020.
Course Objectives:
- Review clinical studies supporting the immune benefits of 2'-fucosyllactose milk oligosaccharide (2'-FL Milk Oligosaccharides).

Important Notice:
Breast milk is the best for babies. The World Health Organization recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life. Unnecessary introduction of bottle feeding or other food and drinks will have a negative impact on breastfeeding. After six months of age, infants should receive age-appropriate foods while breastfeeding continues for up to two years of age or beyond. Consult your doctor before deciding to use infant formula or if you have difficulty breastfeeding.
