Science-backed bioactives
for every stage of life

Discover how Inbiose's functional HMO ingredients support health across all life stages and nutritional markets. From infants to adults and even animal applications, the GlycoActive^TM portfolio is designed to meet the demands of today's most innovative health formulations.

START STRONG, THRIVE FOR LIFE

Early life nutrition

The first 1,000 days, from conception to toddlerhood, are critical. Our GlycoActive^TM human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) nourish this vital window to promote lifelong health.  

HMOs are complex carbohydrates found in breast milk as the third most abundant solid after lactose and fats. Though indigestible by infants, they are food for beneficial gut bacteria, support immune system development, and may enhance brain function. 

Our nature-identical HMOs are backed by science and precision-made for infant formula.

FUEL YOUR DAILY RESILIENCE

Dietary supplements

HMOs are amongst the most studied bioactive carbohydrates in nutrition science, and consumer demand for science-backed supplement ingredients has never been stronger. With a neutral taste, high solubility, and compatibility across a wide range of formats including capsules, powders, and functional drinks, GlycoActive^TM HMOs integrate seamlessly into your formulation process.

Their well-established safety profile and broad regulatory approval across key global markets further reduce the development burden for formulators. Whether targeting gut health, immune support, or broader wellness, GlycoActive^TM HMOs offer a scientifically-credible ingredient solution.

POWER YOUR PRODUCT INNOVATION

Functional food  and beverages

The functional food and beverage market is evolving rapidly, with formulators under increasing pressure to deliver products that combine great taste with a credible, science-backed health profile.

GlycoActive^TM HMOs are nature-identical, regulatory-approved bioactive ingredients that integrates seamlessly across a wide range of formats, from fortified dairy and plant-based beverages to functional snacks and nutrition bars. Odourless, taste-neutral, heat-stable, and highly soluble, they are designed to perform across standard food manufacturing conditions without compromising product quality or sensory experience.

RECOVER STRONGER, NOURISH DEEPER

Medical nutrition

GlycoActive^TM HMOs are produced in FSSC 22000 certified facilities and backed by a robust body of publicly-available scientific literature on gut health, immune modulation, and gut barrier function, making them a credible and well-characterised bioactive ingredient for medical nutrition applications.

Patients with specific medical or nutritional conditions require ingredients that meet the most stringent quality and safety standards, with a well-established scientific foundation to support their use. For formulators developing enteral nutrition, disease-specific formulas, or specialised recovery products, GlycoActiveTM HMOs offer a nature-identical solution with a strong and established safety profile.

SUPPORT MOBILITY, ONE BITE AT A TIME

Pet nutrition

Milk oligosaccharides are naturally present in the milk of companion animals, reflecting their fundamental role in early development across species. GlycoActive^TM milk oligosaccharides  bring these same nature-identical bioactives to the pet nutrition market, supported by scientific evidence pointing to benefits in gut health, joint mobility, and immune resilience in animals.

With a neutral sensory profile and broad format compatibility, they are well-suited for integration into premium dry, wet, and functional pet food products targeting the growing segment of health-conscious pet owners.

FUEL EARLY PERFORMANCE, NATURALLY

Animal feed

Complex carbohydrates play a fundamental role in the early development of young animals, supporting gut health, immune function, and defence against infection. GlycoActive^TM milk oligosaccharides translate nature's own bioactive solutions into a commercially viable ingredient for the animal feed sector, backed by scientific evidence from in vitro and animal model studies.

Produced to the highest quality standards and compatible with standard feed manufacturing processes, they offer an accessible route to incorporating science-backed bioactives into feed formulations targeting the health and performance of young animals.

HEALTH BENEFITS

More than a prebiotic

Human milk oligosaccharides are amongst the most studied bio-active ingredients available to formulators today. Gut health, immune support, metabolic balancing and brain health represent a few of the widely documented benefits, each underpinned by a consistent and growing body of published literature.
