Storage (4)
Evivo drops product should be discarded 6 weeks after opening.
Evivo powder product is good for 27 months past the Manufacturing date (MFG) printed on the carton.
For the Powder Product: At 27 months, the results show that the levels of B. infantis are, in fact, higher than what is needed to be efficacious. We also do a safety test for heavy metals and pathogens known to be high risk for infants, and we consistently see that the product easily passes all of those tests.
Like nearly all supplement manufacturers, we produce with the aim to have a 2-3 year shelf life on the product – this is industry standard. You may not realize that is the standard because many companies print an expiration date on their packaging vs. a manufactured date.
The concern about a supplement over time is more around its ‘potency’ or how efficacious the active ingredients are. We test our products regularly from manufacture date to shelf life date, to understand the level of B. infantis, which is the active ingredient in Evivo.
The Non-GMO Project on drops as well as the Clean Label Project for powder (with their First 1,000 Days certification) have reviewed and approved all of our processes and testing.
Evivo should be stored in a dry, cool spot. It does not need to be kept frozen or refrigerated.
Evivo is safe to store at room temperature (at 77°F (25°C) or below).
Powder: Because each sachet is now specially designed to protect against temperature fluctuations, air, moisture, and light, Evivo can now be stored on the counter or in the pantry and does not require freezer storage.
Drops: Evivo drops can be stored at room temperature away from light and moisture. It should be stored at 77°F (25°C) or below to maintain potency throughout the labeled shelf life of the product. Refrigerate for optimal quality. Cold storage during transit is not necessary. It is not recommended to freeze the bottle.
MFG is the Manufacturing Date.
Powder: Evivo powder is safe to feed 27 months (810 days) past the Manufacturing Date printed on the packaging.
Drops: Discard bottle 6 weeks after opening.

Evivo Powder is good for 27 months past the Manufactured date (MFG) that is printed on the carton.
Probiotics 101 (5)
Evivo® is a daily infant probiotic that contains B. infantis EVC001, a strain baby needs. Clinically shown to work with the HMOs found in breast milk, Evivo helps establish a healthy gut microbiome to support healthy digestive and immune function.
Parents of babies who take Evivo report their babies have:
- Less gas and fussiness
- Improved sleep
- Improved stooling
- Relief from diaper rash.
The good bacteria B. infantis thrives off of HMOs (human milk oligosaccharides). If you are no longer breastfeeding, many formulas now include HMOs. Look at the ingredient list of your formula for: HMOs, 2’FL, 6’SL, 6′-GOS, 3’SL, LNT or LNnT. Or you can also purchase HMO powder and add it to your formula.
Evivo is clinically shown to be safe for babies and is Non-GMO Project Verified and Nutrasource IPRO™ (International Probiotic Standards) certified.
- Strain – Not all probiotics are the same—bacterial strain matters.
- Mechanism of action – the explainable process that describes how it works within the body.
- Ability to thrive (colonization) – ability to thrive and establish an ongoing presence within the gut.
For babies receiving any amount of breast milk, probiotic strain B. infantis EVC001 is a strain that has been clinically shown to work with the HMOs found in breast milk.
If you are no longer breastfeeding, many formulas now include HMOs (human milk oligosaccharides) or you can purchase HMO powder and add it to your formula with Evivo.
Many probiotics claim, but Evivo actually explains how it works within baby.
B. infantis EVC001, only in Evivo:
- Attaches to important nutrients in breast milk called human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs), to help healthy development
- Consumes these nutrients to thrive and protect within for digestive comfort
- Transforms nutrients to benefit healthy immune function
Probiotics have been used in babies for many years and have been shown to be well tolerated. However, when choosing a probiotic, quality also matters. It is important to choose a probiotic that has been manufactured at the highest quality standards.
Most probiotics are bacterial strains that provide a health benefit to people. Probiotics should be named by their genus, species (subspecies when applicable), and a strain name. This information, especially the strain name, is crucial to conduct an evidence-based decision on a product.
Most common questions (13)
The drops product has the same amazing Evivo B. infantis EVC001 as the key ingredient. It’s the good live bacteria that baby needs for immune & digestive support. Parents report less gas & fussiness, reduced diaper rash and better sleep after giving Evivo.
Your Pediatrician already recommends Vitamin D so for convenience the Evivo drops also include the 400 IU of Vitamin D, which is the minimum recommended daily amount.
Additionally, the drops have organic sunflower oil. Sunflower oil is commonly added to drops and formulas as a beneficial fat and macronutrient for optimal growth. Sunflower oil is made mostly of Linoleic Acid (LA) which is considered an essential fatty acid, meaning the body cannot produce it and must obtain it from the diet. Linoleic Acid (LA) is converted to Arachidonic Acid (AA) in the body through a series of metabolic steps and Arachidonic Acid has been shown to have a benefit in cognition and development.
Sunflower oil is Generally Recommended As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA and used in our probiotic drops because suspending the bacteria in oil improves the stability of the bacteria (to ensure they remain effective) and eases administration. Many babies are allergic to avocado oil & coconut oil, so we chose to avoid any additional allergens in our product.
The drops product has been verified by the Non-GMO Project organization.
6 drops are needed just 1x a day.
If baby spits up right after he/she has been given Evivo, no need to give more, just wait until the next day to give more drops.

Evivo should be stored in a dry, cool spot. It does not need to be kept frozen or refrigerated.
Evivo works with the human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) found in breast milk & in some formulas to help your baby maximize the nutrients in the milk, resulting in less waste. That’s why changes in stool consistency are likely to occur, including a decrease in the number of bowel movements. Some babies may not poop for up to 5 days as their gut is getting a complete overhaul. This is nothing to be alarmed about, as long as baby continues to have wet diapers, which means she/he is staying hydrated. Eventually the pooping intervals will become more regular and baby will likely only poop 1-2 times a day and it will be the consistency of soft dough (no more 10 poopy diapers a day!).
However, a change in bowel movements does not have to occur as every baby’s microbiome is unique and responds differently.
There’s a wide range of what’s considered normal with baby poop. Some babies have a bowel movement with every feeding, while others may have one per week. The color of an infant’s stool can also vary depending on factors like age and diet. In general, any shade of brown, yellow, orange, green are typical. When solid foods are introduced, stool color may change based on the new foods they are consuming. If stools are soft and the baby is producing enough wet diapers, eating well, and growing properly, you don’t need to be concerned with less frequent stooling.
Research has identified hundreds of types of bacteria, and many are sold as probiotics for your baby, but many do not have an explainable process that describes how it works inside the body. That’s why Evivo is different.
With Evivo, baby can digest important breast milk nutrients called HMOs (Human Milk Oligosaccharides). While other probiotics pass through to the diaper, the good bacteria (B. infantis EVC001) in Evivo captures and consumes HMOs to thrive and colonize within the gut. With up to 80% of our immune system in the gut, establishing a healthy gut microbiome is key to supporting immune function and a healthy digestive system.
Learn more about what matters when choosing a probiotic for baby, and how Evivo works.
Our current studies have been conducted feeding babies Evivo directly. We have no current data to support the ability for mom to pass the B. infantis on to baby after she has consumed Evivo.
Evivo is an infant probiotic and contains one powerful ingredient, Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis (B. infantis) EVC001, which is finely milled and mixed with lactose, the main sugar found naturally in breast milk. When making Evivo, components used in the fermentation process contain soy and casein.
If soy or milk is a concern, please consult your pediatrician before use.
Yes. Evivo may contain trace amounts of milk or dairy protein and trace amounts of soy as a result of how it is processed.
We use casein peptone and soy peptone (peptides) during the fermentation process. The peptones are used by the bacteria during growth so only trace amounts are expected to remain at the end of fermentation. In addition, the bacteria are concentrated and almost all of what remains is removed with the supernatant. We do not add protein as a stabilizer during drying. The final dried fermentation product is standardized with lactose (chosen because lactose is the main sugar that babies consume from breast milk.)
We do not expect any intact dairy or soy protein in product and only trace amounts of peptides in the final product, but cannot guarantee it. Per allergen regulations, since we cannot guarantee a zero value, we declare both soy and milk on the product label.
Please consult your health care provider before use if you have concerns.
You can start feeding your baby Evivo from Day 1 of life, once they begin consuming breast milk.
Evivo works with breast milk to help establish a healthy gut microbiome and set your baby on a course to better health.
Research shows babies fed Evivo have:*
- Significant improvement in breast milk digestion
- Reduced colic-associated symptoms
- Less gas and fussiness
- Significantly less diaper rash
- Better sleep within days
- Improved stooling
We cannot guarantee Evivo to be free of common allergens. Specifically, Evivo contains B. infantis EVC001, which is finely milled and mixed with lactose, the main sugar found naturally in breast milk.
Given the way the product is processed, there may be trace amounts of residual milk and/or soy. While we do not expect any soy or milk to be present, per allergen regulations, we cannot guarantee a zero value and therefore declare both soy and milk. If these allergens are a concern, please consult your pediatrician before use.
All babies, irrespective of delivery type, benefit from being fed Evivo. Even vaginally born babies may be missing beneficial bacteria in their gastrointestinal tract resulting in digestive discomfort.
Feeding baby Evivo with breast milk right after birth helps populate baby’s gut with B. infantis EVC001, a good bacteria strain clinically shown to work with breast milk to support digestive and immune health.
While our clinical research studies focus on babies, even toddlers who receive at least some breast milk may benefit from Evivo.
Evivo contains B. infantis EVC001, a good bacteria important for the infant gut microbiome right after birth. Breast milk and in particular HMOs help power B. infantis EVC001, so the longer the baby is receiving at least some breast milk the more baby may benefit. Evivo may be important in supporting the gut as infants transition away from breast milk and formula to complementary and solid foods.
Feeding (18)
Evivo can be mixed with breast milk, infant formula, or solids when feeding. Baby should have some amount of breast milk or human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) in their overall diet when feeding Evivo.
If you are no longer breastfeeding, you can purchase HMO powder on Amazon or at your local health store.

Decades of research by our founders uncovered breast milk nourishes baby and a specific bacterium, B. infantis. When breast milk promotes the growth of B. infantis EVC001, the good bacteria in Evivo, it creates a protective environment in the gut. With up to 80% of our immune system in our gut, establishing a healthy gut microbiome helps benefit immune function and positively impacts development.
Hear about our story and learn more about the science behind Evivo.
Yes. For the drops you can use a spoon or put it directly into a bottle. We recommend mixing 6 drops (or 1 sachet if you have powder product) with a single feeding amount (formula or breast milk). If your baby doesn’t finish the bottle, discard the leftovers after 30 minutes.
If your baby spits up, it’s fine to wait until the next day to feed Evivo again. B. infantis EVC001, the good bacteria in Evivo can maintain a presence in baby’s gut from prior feedings. If baby continues to spit up, we recommend cutting back on the amount per day.
For drops you can cut back to only 3 drops per day and for powder a 1/2 sachet.
Feeding directions for powder:
1) Dip clean wet finger, nipple or pacifier into sachet and put into baby’s cheek
2) Pour directly into Bottle – Single feeding amount or 2 oz
3) Via spoon, oral syringe, or medicine dispenser pacifier – mixed with 1 tsp of breast milk (approx. 5 mL)
4) For infants who can’t tolerate a 3 – 5 ml volume in one feeding, consider making a thin paste.
Yes, parents can continue feeding Evivo as long as baby is receiving some human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) which are found in breast milk, in some infant formulas, or can be purchased as a powder .
Breast milk contains important nutrients called Human Milk Oligosaccharides (HMOs) intended to feed a specific bacteria, B. infantis. Evivo contains B. infantis EVC001, the good gut bacteria that digest HMOs.
B. infantis EVC001 captures and consumes HMOs to thrive and colonize the gut to promote the colonization of good bacteria, then releases signaling molecules that help guide immune function.
Evivo can be fed any time of day that best fits your family’s lifestyle. It may help to give Evivo at the start of a feeding so baby is likely to swallow more of it.
The recommended serving for the drops product is 6 drops daily given either on a spoon or mixed with breast milk, formula or solids.
The recommended serving for the powder product is one sachet daily mixed with breast milk, formula, or solids.
It’s ok, just give baby a single serving of Evivo for the next feeding (do not double up on the servings). The good bacteria in Evivo can maintain a presence in baby’s gut from prior feedings.
Yes. You can continue using Evivo as long your baby is still consuming breast milk. It can help continue supporting your baby’s gut health during the transition to solids.
You can feed Evivo right after birth when your baby starts consuming breast milk. Introducing B. infantis EVC001, the single strain in Evivo, during early infancy establishes a healthy gut microbiome. With 80% of the immune system in the gut, early attention helps benefit immune function and positively impact development.
Yes. Evivo is for babies fed any amount of HMOs (human milk oligosaccharides) which are found in some formulas and also found in breast milk.
Evivo can be mixed with formula, breast milk, or solids, as long as some source of HMOs is being consumed either from breast milk, formula or in powder form.
You can add Evivo to thawed or freshly pumped breast milk. Add Evivo after warming up the breast milk. (B. infantis does not like oxygen or high heat.)
Evivo can be added AFTER warming the breast milk. Evivo should not be heated directly.
For your convenience, there are several ways to feed your baby Evivo. What’s most important is finding the method and consistency that works best for you and your baby.
Drops:
- Shake bottle.
- Remove cap.
- Tip bottle completely upside & hold still. (Do not shake bottle.)
- Dispense 6 drops directly onto baby spoon or into bottle of breast milk or formula, or mix with solids.
- Feed immediately. Discard leftovers.
Powder:
Mix 1 sachet into breast milk, formula, or solids. Feed immediately. Discard leftovers. If mixing with breast milk or formula, we’ve provided suggested amounts to mix with 1 sachet to help with consistency.
1) Directly from finger, nipple or pacifier – 5 to 10 drops (for paste)
2) Pour directly into bottle – Single feeding amount or 2 oz
3) Spoon, oral syringe, or medicine dispenser pacifier – 1 tsp (approx. 5 mL)
Consider making the thin paste for infants who can’t tolerate a 3 – 5 ml volume in one feeding.
Evivo has a very mild taste. Once mixed, it takes on the flavor of the breast milk, formula, or solid. Adding more milk, formula, or solid may provide a milder taste. You may notice a mild scent when you open Evivo. This is normal and due to the natural fermentation of the good bacteria in Evivo, B. infantis EVC001.
Babies take time to adapt to changes in their microbiomes, especially when introducing new products or transitioning from one probiotic to another. During this period, it is normal for their digestive systems to undergo changes — Evivo is filling their belly with good bacteria.
The adjustment period can take up to 2 weeks. Baby’s stool should be soft, but frequency may decrease, and the color can vary depending on age and diet. In general, any shade of brown, yellow, orange, or green are normal. If baby’s stool is hard or pebble-like, they may be constipated, and we would recommend parents contact their healthcare provider.

B. infantis is a select subspecies uniquely adapted to capture and consume Human Milk Oligosaccharides (HMOs) from breast milk. However, not all strains of B. infantis can consume HMOs to the same extent.
B. infantis EVC001, only in Evivo, contains the full complement of genes that can utilize the full breadth of HMOs most efficiently and effectively. See evidence here.
Evivo is available at Evivo.com, Amazon.com, local healthcare professional offices, and independent baby stores.
Like any changes to the diet, it may take baby a few days to adjust. If you are ready to stop Evivo, you can stop immediately, and restart at any time. If stopping disrupts your baby’s routine, you can start reducing the amount per day and or move to every few days to minimize sudden changes to the diet.
The infant gut microbiome is dynamic, continuously undergoing changes and while Evivo binds to the human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) and colonizes, other factors like food, environment, and medications such as antibiotics can also influence the microbiome. Therefore, Evivo can always be an option to help minimize GI discomfort.
Evivo can be used in combination with other probiotics. Research has identified hundreds of types of bacteria, and many are sold as probiotics for your baby. But not all products work the same. For babies, consider the following:
1) The bacteria strain listed in the ingredients
2) If it works with baby’s diet, and
3) Whether there is an explanation on how it works within the body
Probiotics are living organisms that need food to provide a health benefit. Evivo contains B. infantis EVC001, the strain clinically shown to digest breast milk HMOs (human milk oligosaccharides) to help establish a healthy gut microbiome and support immune health.

Evivo is suitable for all full-term babies who are receiving human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) from breast milk or formula, or mix-fed (breast milk + formula) babies.
Your baby may need a probiotic if they experience colic-associated symptoms, diaper rash, has an upset tummy or was born via C-section.
Due to over-use of antibiotics, in the last 50 years industrialized communities the B. infantis bacteria that was once present in all humans, has virtually become extinct. Research in countries like Ghana and Bangladesh, where antibiotic use has been low, the B. infantis bacteria can be found in all babies.
Evivo works with the human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) found in breast milk & in some formulas to help your baby maximize the nutrients in the milk, resulting in less waste. That’s why changes in stool consistency are likely to occur, including a decrease in the number of bowel movements. Some babies may not poop for up to 5 days as their gut is getting a complete overhaul. This is nothing to be alarmed about, as long as baby continues to have wet diapers, which means she/he is staying hydrated. Eventually the pooping intervals will become more regular and baby will likely only poop 1-2 times a day and it will be the consistency of soft dough (no more 10 poopy diapers a day!).
However, a change in bowel movements does not have to occur as every baby’s microbiome is unique and responds differently.
There’s a wide range of what’s considered normal with baby poop. Some babies have a bowel movement with every feeding, while others may have one per week. The color of an infant’s stool can also vary depending on factors like age and diet. In general, any shade of brown, yellow, orange, green are typical. When solid foods are introduced, stool color may change based on the new foods they are consuming. If stools are soft and the baby is producing enough wet diapers, eating well, and growing properly, you don’t need to be concerned with less frequent stooling.
Research has identified hundreds of types of bacteria, and many are sold as probiotics for your baby, but many do not have an explainable process that describes how it works inside the body. That’s why Evivo is different.
With Evivo, baby can digest important breast milk nutrients called HMOs (Human Milk Oligosaccharides). While other probiotics pass through to the diaper, the good bacteria (B. infantis EVC001) in Evivo captures and consumes HMOs to thrive and colonize within the gut. With up to 80% of our immune system in the gut, establishing a healthy gut microbiome is key to supporting immune function and a healthy digestive system.

The manufacturing of Evivo involves a comprehensive testing program, where we use the latest technology to ensure every lot is free of potentially harmful contaminants. Each lot includes a Certificate of Analysis, demonstrating it meets rigorous testing standards. Evivo has strict specifications, and we only source high-quality ingredients from reputable vendors.
Evivo product and production processes have been verified by Non-GMO Project and by the International Probiotic Testing Program IPRO, a quality standard set by Nutrasource which ensures high-quality manufacturing, testing, and labeling of probiotic supplements, essentially verifying that the product meets rigorous standards for potency and purity of its probiotic strains.
Evivo is an infant probiotic and contains one powerful ingredient, Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis (B. infantis) EVC001, which is finely milled and mixed with lactose, the main sugar found naturally in breast milk. When making Evivo, components used in the fermentation process contain soy and casein.
If soy or milk is a concern, please consult your pediatrician before use.
Evivo works with breast milk to help establish a healthy gut microbiome and set your baby on a course to better health.
Research shows babies fed Evivo have:*
- Significant improvement in breast milk digestion
- Reduced colic-associated symptoms
- Less gas and fussiness
- Significantly less diaper rash
- Better sleep within days
- Improved stooling
We cannot guarantee Evivo to be free of common allergens. Specifically, Evivo contains B. infantis EVC001, which is finely milled and mixed with lactose, the main sugar found naturally in breast milk.
Given the way the product is processed, there may be trace amounts of residual milk and/or soy. While we do not expect any soy or milk to be present, per allergen regulations, we cannot guarantee a zero value and therefore declare both soy and milk. If these allergens are a concern, please consult your pediatrician before use.
B. infantis is a select subspecies uniquely adapted to capture and consume Human Milk Oligosaccharides (HMOs) from breast milk. However, not all strains of B. infantis can consume HMOs to the same extent.
B. infantis EVC001, only in Evivo, contains the full complement of genes that can utilize the full breadth of HMOs most efficiently and effectively. See evidence here.
Evivo is available at Evivo.com, Amazon.com, local healthcare professional offices, and independent baby stores.
Babies take time to adapt to changes in their microbiomes, especially when introducing new products or transitioning from one probiotic to another. During this period, it is normal for their digestive systems to undergo changes — Evivo is filling their belly with good bacteria.
The adjustment period can take up to 2 weeks. Baby’s stool should be soft, but frequency may decrease, and the color can vary depending on age and diet. In general, any shade of brown, yellow, orange, or green are normal. If baby’s stool is hard or pebble-like, they may be constipated, and we would recommend parents contact their healthcare provider.
While our clinical research studies focus on babies, even toddlers who receive at least some breast milk may benefit from Evivo.
Evivo contains B. infantis EVC001, a good bacteria important for the infant gut microbiome right after birth. Breast milk and in particular HMOs help power B. infantis EVC001, so the longer the baby is receiving at least some breast milk the more baby may benefit. Evivo may be important in supporting the gut as infants transition away from breast milk and formula to complementary and solid foods.
Feeding (13)
Evivo works with the human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) found in breast milk & in some formulas to help your baby maximize the nutrients in the milk, resulting in less waste. That’s why changes in stool consistency are likely to occur, including a decrease in the number of bowel movements. Some babies may not poop for up to 5 days as their gut is getting a complete overhaul. This is nothing to be alarmed about, as long as baby continues to have wet diapers, which means she/he is staying hydrated. Eventually the pooping intervals will become more regular and baby will likely only poop 1-2 times a day and it will be the consistency of soft dough (no more 10 poopy diapers a day!).

Yes. For the drops you can use a spoon or put it directly into a bottle. We recommend mixing 6 drops (or 1 sachet if you have powder product) with a single feeding amount (formula or breast milk). If your baby doesn’t finish the bottle, discard the leftovers after 30 minutes.
Parents can continue feeding Evivo as long as baby is receiving some human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) which are found in breast milk, in some infant formulas, or can be purchased as an HMO powder . Continued feeding of Evivo helps safeguard baby against potentially bad gut bacteria.
The recommended serving for the drops product is 6 drops daily given either on a spoon or mixed with breast milk, formula or solids.
The recommended serving for the powder product is one sachet daily mixed with breast milk, formula, or solids.
It’s ok, just give baby a single serving of Evivo for the next feeding (do not double up on the servings). The good bacteria in Evivo can maintain a presence in baby’s gut from prior feedings.
Yes. You can continue using Evivo as long your baby is still consuming breast milk. It can help continue supporting your baby’s gut health during the transition to solids.
You can feed Evivo right after birth when your baby starts consuming breast milk. Introducing B. infantis EVC001, the single strain in Evivo, during early infancy establishes a healthy gut microbiome. With 80% of the immune system in the gut, early attention helps benefit immune function and positively impact development.
Yes. Evivo is for babies fed any amount of HMOs (human milk oligosaccharides) which are found in some formulas and also found in breast milk.
Evivo can be mixed with formula, breast milk, or solids, as long as some source of HMOs is being consumed either from breast milk, formula or in powder form.
Evivo has a very mild taste. Once mixed, it takes on the flavor of the breast milk, formula, or solid. Adding more milk, formula, or solid may provide a milder taste. You may notice a mild scent when you open Evivo. This is normal and due to the natural fermentation of the good bacteria in Evivo, B. infantis EVC001.
