Did you know the main function of human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) is to nourish the child’s microbiome and guide its development? They’re the third largest component of breast milk, after lactose and fat.
Through precision fermentation, a process where an engineered microorganism is used to manufacture the HMO, researchers can now produce the five most abundant HMOs that constitute up to 50% of all HMOs in breast milk.
Biotics for microbiome balance
Science made the
match. Microbes
make it work.
The gut hosts trillions of microbes — each with a distinct role to play. Today science has learned to identify the right partners: specific strains of probiotics, prebiotics and postbiotics, each matched to a precise health need. Immunity. Healthy longevity. Overall well-being. Explore the world of dietary supplements.
Healthy longevity: Food and biotics
For some cultures, aging well was never a mystery
In Eastern health traditions, balance is everything — harmony between mind, body and environment is key to well-being. This philosophy can benefit us all as we strive to live healthier, longer.
As we age, the gut microbiome becomes essential for maintaining vitality. Nutrient rich foods and supplements support digestive and immune health and contribute to resilience over time, shaping healthy longevity across populations.
Biosolutions:
Innovation for better balance
Biosolutions are driving the next wave of innovation in biotics. From probiotics that enhance digestion to prebiotics that fuel beneficial microbes, these solutions are creating better ways to support the connection between mind, body and microbiome, helping us find overall well-being throughout life.

a clearer, calmer mind
The gut-brain connection is reshaping how we approach mental well-being. Psychobiotics — probiotics that influence the gut-brain axis — are unlocking new ways to handle stress and improve mood.

Stronger guts.
Stronger defenses.
A balanced gut microbiome is the cornerstone of digestive and immune health. Biotics help maintain this balance, supporting the body’s natural defenses and promoting resilience against illness.
Not all biotics deliver.
Here’s how to spot the ones that do.
The supplement aisle is full of promises. Behind every effective biotic is rigorous science — specific strains, clinically supported claims, and transparent labeling. Four things worth knowing before you choose:
Check the full strain name
Effective biotics are listed by genus, species, and strain — not just a broad category like “Lactobacillus.”
Look for evidence, not promises
Choose strains that have been studied in humans for the specific benefit you’re looking for.
Match the strain to your goal
Biotics are most effective when selected for a clear health outcome, not taken at random.
Support supplements with food and lifestyle
Biotics work best alongside a diverse diet that helps beneficial microbes thrive.

Biotics are helping shape the future of proactive health, offering solutions that build resistance to illness and improve quality of life. Groundbreaking studies reveal their potential to transform healthcare and deliver benefits for individuals and society.
What if aging well were
simply a matter of biology?
Biology has answers. By optimizing microbial diversity and balance in the gut, we can renew physical and mental health for the long term. This is the future of healthy living: biology helping us thrive at every age.
