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?

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 HMO serving size of 2.0 grams to start— 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!

PREBIOTIC FIBER INSPIRED BY MOTHER'S MILK

Human milk oligosaccharide (HMO) is a super prebiotic occurring naturally in mother's milk. Today, fermented HMO delivers all the benefits without any actual human milk in the product. PureHMO® Prebiotic Powder feeds 200 Billion CFU Probiotics/Serving.

Promote Healthy Gut Microflora: HMO prebiotic powder promotes the growth of probiotics like Bifidobacterium and Akkermansia Muciniphila.
Improve Immune System: HMO are more effective than traditional prebiotics (GOS, XOS, Inulin FOS) in stimulating innate immune system, blocking pathogens & reducing inflammation.
Support Cognitive Health: Unlike other probiotic prebiotic for adults, HMO metabolites promote brain development, neuronal transmission, and cognition.

Benefits

Super Prebiotic Fiber

Feed Bifidobacteria and Akkermansia, increase beneficial bacteria in gut, build a healthy gut ecosystem.

Cognitive Function

The metabolites of HMO support brain development, neural transmission, cognitive functions, and motor skills

Healthy Gut Microbiome

Boost the number of probiotics in the gut; help with SIBO, food digestion, and weight management; build a solid foundation for long-term health.

IBS Relief

Clinically proven to reduce key symptoms of IBS such as gas, bloating, constipation, and stomach pain

How It Works

"HMO escapes digestion, allowing it to reach the colon where it feeds beneficial bacteria. In babies, HMOs strengthen the developing immune system, helping fight infection and inflammation while aiding brain development, according to early research. New studies show those benefits may extend to people of all ages, fitting neatly into consumers’ growing fascination with probiotics -- the “good” bacteria that can help keep a human body healthy."

Experts' Opinion On HMO

BEN GREENFIELD

HMOs are helping to steer the but towards immunity and steering the macrophages towards restoration of the gut lining — I actually know a lot of functional medicine doctors using this with their patients now.

Host, The Ben greenfield fitness podcast

JOEL GREENE

What you're going to find with HMOs is that they are endemic to the formation of the immune system in the infant gut — and so HMOs have very, very strong presence informing immunity in the gut.

DR. RHONDA , Ph.D.

These beneficial bacteria produce short-chain fatty acids that prevent colonization of pathogenic bacteria in the gut. This bacteria (good bacteria promoted by HMOs) has been shown to set up the immune system.

DR. WILL BULSIEWICZ

They are food for developing gut microbiome. They are prebiotics and they actually help the right bacteria, specifically bifidobacteria, to grow. And this also helps with development of the immune system.

Our Story

Hey there! Our story isn't all that fancy.

It started with two Cornell scientists who were researching ways to make human milk oligosaccharide (HMO) without using human milk. They became fascinated by the amazing health benefits of this unique fiber and decided to start Layer Origin to develop the best line of HMO prebiotic supplements — by leveraging the latest scientific findings.

At Layer Origin, we believe that we truly are what we eat. The food we consume feeds us and the bacteria in our gut. By strategically rebuilding the bacterial ecosystem of our microbiome, 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 prebiotics. Safe (FDA GRAS), effective, and featuring clinically-proven ingredients, PureHMO® super prebiotics help us build a robust gut to support every layer of our health.

Amazing

My goodness, I’m delighted to have found this product and this company, and have been raving about it to family and friends. I have had, for the last couple years had terrible stomach pains/flatulence/food intolerance, which has been incapacitating. I had made my own kombucha, sauerkraut and kimchi, and I tried everything else I could get my hands on, like various commercial pre and probiotics, beano, lactaid, digestive bitters, Gas-x, Maalox, etc etc etc all to no avail. I was looking at maybe just eating cereal and plain toast the rest of my life because I could no longer digest all of my favorite foods (or any foods really). But when I read the research on the purehmo it made sense — the science behind it. I started it last Thursday. I do not wake up anymore with horrible stomach pains and gas in the morning!!! How amazing to find something to relieve my suffering. Thank you!!! And I especially love that you all utilize a 400 acre organic farm for growing and synthesizing ingredients. Consider me a devoted customer.

Better digestion

I don't know if it's the placebo effect or if it's for real - but in either case, it worked! =)

Starting to Work

I’ve had trouble going to the washroom for years. I’ve tried many things. Now after two weeks, of taking HMO’s, I feel things are settling into a nice pattern. I’m also making my own bifidus yogurt. I mix it in there. I love that the powder is tasteless. I was surprised about that, too. I like the powder better but capsules are good for travelling.

Amazing

I love the pure HMO , it’s helped me so much recover from SIBO and just general gut imbalances. Everything I ate used to bloat me out to nine months pregnant and now that I’ve consistently been taking the HMO powder that RARELY happens. It’s also helped my bowel movements be so much more consistent. This is an awesome product, I highly encourage everyone to try it!

Great product

Great product which dilute very easy in water :-) Faster shipping than expected too.
Can recommend it!
