At the end of the 20th century, the use of prebiotics in infant formula was introduced, which proved to be very beneficial for the infant's body by reinforcing the consumer's intestinal microbiota and enhancing their immune system, thus achieving a great impact and an effect similar to that obtained from human milk.

General objective: To identify the benefits of prebiotics that have been added to certain infant formulas in our environment.
