Does this contain real human milk?

No. Our HMO is technically something referred to as HiMO, which stands for Human identical Milk Oligosaccharide. It is produced via a complex fermentation and precise purification process and results in a powder that is molecularly identical to the HMO that is in human milk. All the benefits without any human milk involved.

Can I take this if I'm lactose intolerant or have a milk allergy?

Yes. Research has shown that many people with lactose intolerance can tolerate up to 12 grams of lactose in one sitting, which is approximately the amount in one cup (230 ml) of milk. Layer Origin Nutrition recommends a total HMO serving size of 2.0 grams — therefore — even people with with lactose intolerance should be well below the limit of what they can tolerate, if they follow the recommended dosage.

Should I take HMO with or without food?

Believe it or not, it doesn't make a difference either way. This is because the HMO will not be digested the way that food would be digested. HMO makes its way undigested through your body down to the lower intestines, where it becomes the food for probiotic bacteria. So take HMO with food or without food. Either way is fine!

Scientific Studies On HMO

Support Gut Microbiota, Immune System

"human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) play an important role in gut microbiota colonization and gut immune barrier establishment, and thereby contribute to the maturation of the immune system in early life."

FOOD & FUNCTION, 2020 (SCIENTIFIC JOURNAL)

Feed Akkermansia muciniphila

"the capacity of A. muciniphila to utilize human milk will enable its survival in the early life intestine and colonization of the mucosal layer in early life, warranting later life mucosal and metabolic health."

SCIENTIFIC REPORTS, 2020 (A NATURE JOURNAL)

Promote Bifidobacteria

"The human gut microbiota established during infancy has persistent effects on health. In vitro studies have suggested that human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) in breast milk promote the formation of a bifidobacteria-rich microbiota in infant guts."

SCIENCE ADVANCE, 2019 (TOP SCIENTIFIC JOURNAL)

Restore Gut Barrier Functions

"With the demonstrated safety, tolerance, and impact of HMOs on the adult gut microbiota in clinical trials, this study supports the potential use of HMOs as a novel strategy to restore or promote gut barrier function in adults."

Nutrients, 2020 (Scientific Journal)

Our Story

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.

Noticing a big difference

I had heard about this product on a podcast aabout SIBO. I am someone who has repeatedly got SIBO, went through a cleanse, only to get SIBO again down the road. I thought I would take a proactive approach and feed the good bacteria instead of killing the bad. So far, I can notice a hige difference in my gut. I can tolerate dairy (before I couldnt) and coffee. My bowel movements and full and regular. I do not have stomach pain, gas, burping, or bad breath. I plan to continue usage after I am out.

Working well so far

I've been taking this in the morning for a little over a week now and I can tell that I'm already less reactive to food. My symptoms of bloating, stomach tenderness, and nausea are improving.

Helping my gut

This product paired with a bifidobacterium bacteria probiotic is really helping my gut!

My gut was completely messed up for months after having an emergency appendectomy with complications.

A friend recommended taking this with a probiotic, and it has made all the difference! Highly recommend!

Easy Process

The process of ordering from Layer was super easy and the quality of the product I ordered based on my Naturopaths recommendation was "PureHMO" Prebiotic capsules to help drive out an Ecoli bacteria. I own a health food store and am going to bring this line in to help my customers clear up their gastro issues and increase their overall health.
Very excited about this product.
