kēpos™ Humanized Benefits & Science

Does kēpos replace my prebiotics supplement?

Yes, and likely upgrade them. Most prebiotic supplements on the market are built on generic fibers like inulin, FOS, or acacia. These compounds feed bacteria broadly, which can be helpful—but also unpredictable. Many users experience bloating, gas, o

Does kēpos replace my probiotics supplement?

In many cases, yes, and it may do something your probiotics can’t: help your body grow its own. Most probiotic supplements deliver a handful of bacterial strains in high doses. But research increasingly shows that simply dumping bacteria into the gut

Is kēpos low-FODMAP?

Yes—kēpos is formulated with ingredients that are individually considered low-FODMAP, making it a smart option for people with sensitive digestion or those following a low-FODMAP protocol. However, kēpos is not yet officially certified as low-FODMAP.

How do Human Milk Oligosaccharides (HMOs) work in adults?

Human Milk Oligosaccharides (HMOs) are specialized prebiotic carbohydrates found abundantly in breast milk. While they are not digestible by humans, they serve a critical role in shaping the early-life microbiome and immune system. At kēpos, we’ve br

How does Human Milk Lactoferrin (hmLF) work in adults?

Human milk lactoferrin (hmLF) is a bioactive glycoprotein that plays a central role in immune defense, microbial regulation, and gut development in infancy. Structurally distinct from the bovine versions found in many supplements, hmLF is the human-i

Can kēpos improve hormonal and metabolic health?

Yes. While kēpos is designed first and foremost to support the gut and immune system, its benefits extend well beyond digestion—including measurable effects on hormonal balance and metabolic health. This is because the gut is not an isolated system.

Is kēpos keto/carnivore friendly?

Yes: kēpos is uniquely compatible with both carnivore and ketogenic diets, and in many cases, it helps fill in critical biological gaps left by those approaches. While carnivore and keto diets can offer powerful benefits (especially for reducing infl

Is kēpos lactose intolerance friendly?

Yes. kēpos is completely safe for individuals with lactose intolerance. Although the Human Milk-Equivalent bioactives in kēpos are produced via precision fermentation using lactose as a starting substrate, the final product contains no detectable lac

Is kēpos dairy-free?

The Human Milk Oligosaccharides (HMOs) and Human Milk Lactoferrin (hmLF) in kēpos are produced through precision fermentation and purified to pharmaceutical-grade standards. These compounds are far less allergenic than typical dairy-based supplements

Is kēpos GLP-1 friendly?

GLP-1 receptor agonists, such as semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro), have become increasingly common tools for managing weight, insulin resistance, and metabolic syndrome. While these medications are effective at regulating appe

Is kēpos vegetarian?

Yes. kēpos is 100% vegetarian. While our Human Milk Oligosaccharides (HMOs) and human-identical lactoferrin (hmLF) are inspired by nutrients found in breast milk, they are produced through animal-free precision fermentation. No animal tissues or bypr

Is kēpos vegan?

kēpos is not currently classified as vegan. While our Human Milk Oligosaccharides (HMOs) and human-identical lactoferrin (hmLF) are produced through animal-free precision fermentation, the starting materials—particularly in the HMO fermentation proce
