Company Performance Metrics
Layer Origin Nutrition was founded with a sole focus to improve people’s gut health using the most innovative prebiotic on the market – human milk oligosaccharides (HMO). We differentiate us from the rest by creating a strong branding around HMO and advocating the importance of feeding gut bacteria. We are the first company in the world to launch a
complete line of HMO products for adults and have been recommended by Ben Greenfield Fitness.
PureHMO® prebiotic line is developed to optimize people’s gut microbiome - boost the key bacteria, increase microbial diversity, and address various gut-related issues (IBS, SIBO, leaky gut etc). PureHMO® line is centered around a core ingredient: human milk oligosaccharide (HMO) – an ingredient that is only available in recent years. This is the only prebiotic for infants to build a healthy gut microbiome from scratch. The traditional prebiotics galactooligosaccharide (GOS), Fructooligosaccharide (FOS), were added to infant formula only to simulate the functions of HMO, which also include immune modulation and cognitive support.
Unlike traditional solutions of using probiotic to address gut health problems, our concept is to use PureHMO® to feed the bacteria existed in the gut, strategically boost their growth, and build an optimized microbiome. More science has shown that probiotic supplements only solve problems temporally and cannot improve the long-term microbiome composition, which can only be tuned by diet - the food for gut bacteria.
Compared to traditional GOS and FOS prebiotics, HMO is new, has unique structures and more functions that makes HMO more attractive to consumers. HMO is a selective food for key gut probiotics - Bifidobacteria and Akkermansia. HMO directly fights with pathogens. HMO also provides fuel for cognitive functions. Our goal is to build a complete line of HMO products to address various gut-related health problems, with different product forms and flavors. We have 5 registered trademarks, and 1 granted U.S. patent that is on a carb-blocking and fiber-boosting gut health ingredient and 1 pending patent of HMO.
