Modern diets destroy your gut.

kēpos is made through a proprietary process called microbial expression — without human milk involved. Just like many vitamins, enzymes, and other bioactives used in supplements today, we're able to create bio-identical nutrients from scratch. This process allows for exceptional purity, without the heavy metals, hormones, or antibiotic residues commonly found in animal-sourced nutritional products.

Because it's the most scientifically accurate description of these bioactives. Human milk oligosaccharides and human milk lactoferrin were first discovered in breast milk, where they train an infant's immune system and build a healthy gut microbiome from day one. They're called "human milk bioactives" because they're identical to what's found in human milk—not because they come from it. We recreate these exact molecules through microbial expression, giving adults access to the same biological tools that nature designed for immune and gut development.

Yes! Human milk bioactives are not classified as a bioengineered food under the definitions of the USDA National Bioengineered Food Disclosure Standard. The final product contains no detectable modified genetic material.

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. 

If you have a dairy allergy, we recommend checking with your healthcare practitioner first. That said, dairy proteins are not used in the manufacturing of kēpos, so it is generally safe and tolerable. As a precaution, We recommend starting at a 1/4 dose to acclimate and see how you feel before adjusting upwards.

Human milk bioactives are produced through precision microbial expression, a complex process that's significantly more advanced (and costly) than extracting ingredients from plants or cows. The purity and bioidentical quality come at a real manufacturing cost. That said, we work hard to make kēpos accessible. Subscribers get 15% off every order, free shipping, 10% cash-back in store credit, and other perks along the way. We also offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. If it's not for you, just reach out for a full refund.

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 said, we always recommend consulting your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement, especially if you are on prescription medication.

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.

Our human milk bioactives are superior to colostrum in several key ways. They're up to 2x more anti-inflammatory, they survive stomach acid intact (bovine lactoferrin is completely destroyed during digestion), and your body recognizes them as its own: zero immune reactivity, unlike cow-derived proteins. For gut and immune health, your body already knows exactly what to do with human milk bioactives—because they're the same molecules it was built on.

Many users with IBS, SIBO, and IBD tolerate kēpos well. Unlike broad-spectrum prebiotics like inulin or FOS, which ferment indiscriminately and can cause gas and cramping, our human milk bioactives selectively feed beneficial bacteria like Bifidobacterium, which produce zero gas during fermentation. We're also Low FODMAP certified. For those with SIBO or heightened sensitivity, we recommend starting at a half scoop per day and gradually increasing as your gut acclimates. Most users find their comfort zone within the first one to two weeks.
