Is kēpos lactose intolerance friendly?Updated a month ago

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 lactose sugars. These sugars are fully consumed during the fermentation process, leaving behind only purified bioidentical compounds—specifically Human Milk Oligosaccharides (HMOs) and human-identical lactoferrin (hmLF)—that are lactose-free and well-tolerated.

This distinction is important. While traditional lactoferrin and some prebiotic products may contain trace amounts of dairy or lactose, kēpos uses pharmaceutical-grade purification protocols to ensure that the final formulation contains zero residual lactose. Every batch is independently verified for purity and safety.

kēpos may also offer supportive benefits over time. Many individuals with lactose sensitivity experience disrupted gut barrier function and imbalanced microbial populations. By selectively nourishing key species like Bifidobacterium infantis and reinforcing the gut lining, kēpos helps restore foundational stability in the gut microbiome. Over time, this may improve digestive resilience, microbial diversity, and tolerance to a broader range of foods, including lactose!
