It began with two Cornell scientists who were researching ways to make human milk oligosaccharides (HMO) without using actual human milk. They became fascinated by the amazing health benefits of this unique fiber and determined to develop the best HMO prebiotics by leveraging the latest scientific findings.
At Layer Origin, we firmly believe we are what we eat. The food we consume feeds us and the bacteria in our gut. By strategically building the bacterial ecosystem in our gut, we can actually optimize many aspects of our health — and it can work at any age.
This philosophy drives us every day in our pursuit of the world's most forward-thinking and most advanced prebiotics. Pure, effective, and clinically-proven, PureHMO® super prebiotics help us build a robust gut to support every layer of our health.
We invite you to start your origin story with us today.
