HEALTH IS HUMAN

Our guts are hurting. 2 in every 3 Americans fight chronic gut issues.

2 in every 3 Americans fight chronic gut issues.

Over the past decades, soil depletion, antibiotics, processed foods, chronic stress, and other environmental factors have fundamentally hurt our microbiomes. That’s why now, more than ever, we bloat, are irregular, struggle with low energy, brain fog, and so much more.

But we can turn  back the clock.

We can start rebuilding the gut microbiome with the same building blocks that once formed it. But what are they?

BIFIDOBACTERIA

Meet bifidobacteria. A magical little microbe that first colonized our microbiomes as babies. From birth, bifidobacteria support immune development, aid nutrient absorption, and help regulate digestion. And most importantly: they lay the foundation for our health as adults.

But in today’s world, most of us are critically deficient.

Our microbiomes depend on bifidobacteria. A magical little bacteria that first colonized our microbiomes as babies. From birth, bifidobacteria support immune development, aid nutrient absorption, and help regulate digestion. And most importantly: they lay the foundation for our health as adults.

But in today’s world, most of us are critically deficient.

So, how do we get our  favorite bugs back?

The same thing that brought  them there. Human milk  oligosaccharides (HMOs).

The same thing that brought them there.

A special kind of prebiotic originally discovered in human milk. Because we evolved so closely to them, they’re 3x more advanced than your traditional prebiotic.

Peel away pathogens from your gut lining

By mirroring the sugar structure of your gut lining

Teach your immune cells about new threats

Directly communicate with ‘dendritic cells’

Send essential nutrients to brain

Boost BDNF, a precursor to neuron growth

Selectively nourishes bifidobacteria

Our native gut bacteria, lost in modern diets

But these prebiotics are just one piece of the puzzle. It’s time for health supplementation to become human.

Every other supplement is an approximation

All made with good intent.

None designed for human biology.

Recreating human nutrition.

Recreating human nutrition.

Scientists have discovered hundreds of powerful nutrients within human milk, the same nutrition that shapes humanity. What if we could recreate them all?

Complex sugars you can’t digest, but your bacteria use as food. Vital for a healthy gut microbiome and whole-body health.

Structural building blocks of healthy fats for your brain, eyes, and immune system.

Healthy byproducts of bacteria in the gut. Critical for mental health, immune development, inflammation, and the gut lining.

Complex proteins with diverse, powerful functions within the body, from ferritin management to skin and hair health.

Beneficial bacteria, like bifidobacteria, that colonize the gut and aid digestion.

Antibodies that protect your gut and neutralize pathogens on contact. Passive immunity necessary for healthy responses.

And that’s what we’re doing. What started as a student competition at the University of Chicago turned into a global research project about humanity’s ultimate nutrients.

Building on a century of global health research.

From Japan to Europe to America, human milk has been studied in over 1,000 clinical trials.

1886

Discovery that the microbiomes of breastfed infants differs to those of formula-fed ones (Escherich et al.)

1900

Confirmation that Bifidobacteria dominates the flora of breastfed infants. (Tissier and Moro).

1930s

First isolation of a new prebiotic fiber in human milk. (Polonowski and Lespagnol)

1950s - 60s

This prebiotic is identified as a human milk oligosaccharide (HMO) and is mapped. (György and Kuhn).

1970s - 80s

Japanese researchers recreate HMOs using fermentation science.

2015 - 16

FDA approves human milk oligosaccharides in the US. First adult HMO trial. (Ellison et al). Infant formula

2025

kēpos launches, with its full-spectrum kpHMO™ prebiotic, pioneering human milk nutrition for adult health.

140 years of research built  the foundational prebiotic.

140 years of research built the foundational prebiotic.

Every discovery, structural identification, and clinical study dating back to the 1880s asked the same unfinished question: could these breakthrough nutrients support adults? Resoundingly.

kpHMO™ is our answer. A complete prebiotic that harnesses the full complexity of the HMOs found in nature.

3X MORE ADVANCED

kpHMO™ is our advanced prebiotic originally discovered in human milk, designed to replicate every family of human milk oligosaccharides—just as nature intended.

NeutralsC26H45NO21

And in 2027, we’re advancing the timeline even further.

And in 2027, we’readvancing the timeline even further.

Right now, we’re leading the world’s largest gold-standard trial on human milk bioactives, highlighting the effect of our kpHMO™ prebiotic on whole-body health.

Whole-body, human health works as one.

Whole-body,  human health  works as one.

Gut health

Selectively restores Bifidobacteria, your gut's native bacteria, and flushes away pathogens that harm microbiome health.*

Immune health

Empowers your immunity by starving pathogens of iron, and training your immune system to respond more efficiently.*

Cognitive health

Delivers sialic acid, a building block for neural signaling and supports the gut-brain axis by restoring the microbiome.*

Hormonal health

Enhances iron absorption naturally and supports the gut bacteria responsible for healthy estrogen metabolism.*

Metabolic health

Regulates healthy cholesterol, lean mass preservation, and inflammatory response.*

How exactly is kēpos made? + -

kēpos is made through precision fermentation, just like many vitamins, enzymes, and other bioactives used in supplements today.

This process allows for exceptional purity without the heavy metals, hormones, or antibiotic residues commonly found in animal-sourced nutritional products.

Why call it human milk? + -

Because kpHMO™ and human milk lactoferrin are structurally identical to the powerful bioactives found in human milk.

The name describes what they are, not where they come from.

Is kēpos non-GMO? + -

Yes! Human milk bioactives are not classified as a bioengineered food under the definitions of the USDA National Bioengineered Food Disclosure Standard.

Is kēpos good for lactose intolerance? + -

Yes! Because kēpos is bio-identical with only trace amounts of lactose, most people with lactose intolerance can enjoy it without issue, making it a superior option to bovine colostrums and other dairy-based supplements.

Why is kēpos expensive? + -

kēpos uses human milk bioactives that are among the most complex and costly ingredients in the supplement industry to manufacture. You're paying for ingredients that don't exist anywhere else.

We offset the cost through various subscription discounts, a 30-day money-back guarantee, and auto-cashback on every order.

Is it safe to consume on medication? + -

Human milk bioactives have been clinically proven safe in hundreds of human trials across all age groups, with no known drug interactions reported in the clinical literature. That urged, we always recommend consulting your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement, especially if you are on prescription medication.

Are children able to take kēpos? + -

Yes! Human milk bioactives are some of the most studied nutrients in pediatric science—they're naturally present in breast milk and have been safely consumed by infants since the beginning of human history.

kēpos is safe for children, though we recommend consulting your pediatrician for age-appropriate dosing. Our recommendation is a half scoop per day.

How is this different to cow colostrum? + -

Human milk bioactives outperform colostrum in three ways: they're more anti-inflammatory, they survive stomach acid intact—bovine colostrum is largely destroyed during digestion—and your body recognizes them as its own, with none of the immune reactivity common to cow-derived proteins.

Fucosylated

Our pathogen decoys, fucosylated HMOs mimic the receptors targeted by pathogens like e.Coli and norovirus, which then bind to HMOs, rather than our digestive linings, flushing them from the body.

Sialylated

Our brain fuel and immune signalers, sialylated HMOs help produce sialic acid, which helps build neural tissues. Additionally, they help balance inflammatory responses by directly signaling immune cells.

Non-Fucosylated Neutrals

Our selective feeders that nourish our beneficial and vital bifidobacteria, helping them repopulate and flourish to support a more balanced microbiome.
