Storage (3)
Evivo is safe to store at room temperature. You may notice that our packaging mentions placing Evivo in the freezer if you won’t be using it right away. But because each sachet is now specially designed to protect against temperature fluctuations, air, moisture, and light, Evivo can now be stored at room temperature.
The Best if Used By Date reflects when the product will be at its best quality and is not an indicator of safety. If stored properly, Evivo should be safe and of good quality past its Best if Used By Date.
The Best if Used By Date is our determination of when the product should be used to ensure that it is at its best quality, particularly as it relates to the number of live B. infantis in the packet.
Most common questions (11)
When it comes to baby poop, there’s a wide range of what’s considered normal. Some babies may have a bowel movement with every feeding, while others may only have one bowel movement a week. If the stools are soft and the baby is producing enough wet diapers, eating well, and growing properly, there is no reason for concern.
The color of an infant’s stool can vary depending on a variety of factors such as age and diet. In general, any shade of brown, yellow, orange, green are typical stool colors. As the baby grows and begins to eat solid foods, the color of their stool may change to reflect the new foods they are consuming.
When feeding Evivo, changes in stool consistency are likely to occur, including a decrease in bowel movements. But don’t worry, this is expected and indicates that your baby’s gut microbiome is being reshaped. This allows more nutrients from breast milk to be utilized, resulting in less waste.
However, it’s important to note that not all babies require a change in bowel movements to show that Evivo is working. Some babies may not have any changes in their bowel movement patterns. Every baby is unique and may respond differently. If your baby is receiving Evivo and breast milk, rest assured, Evivo is working.
Evivo contains B. infantis, a natural infant-specific strain that has evolved with humans for millions of years to work with breast milk. Because of these characteristics Evivo provides superior colonization. When combined with breast milk, Evivo works by favorably changing gut biochemistry to reduce potentially harmful bacteria and intestinal inflammation, both of which have been linked to increased risk of short- and long-term health problems. The combination of Evivo and breast milk creates a protective infant gut environment, creating a foundation for good health.
We do not currently have any data to support Evivo colonizes mom and is able to be passed on to baby during birth. All current studies have been conducted feeding babies directly with Evivo.
Evivo is finely milled and mixed with lactose, the main sugar found naturally in breast milk and contains the probiotic strain B. infantis EVC001 along with residual amounts of soy .
Evivo contains lactose derived from dairy. Lactose is the carbohydrate portion of milk. Lactose is naturally present in breast milk, which is why we chose to use it in Evivo. The milk protein and other components are separated to produce high-purity lactose. When making Evivo, one of the components of the fermentation media contains broken pieces of soy and casein (peptides). These peptides are consumed by the bacteria when growing. At the end of the process, the media is discarded.
We do not expect any intact milk protein, soy or casein protein in the final product but cannot guarantee it. We recommend you talk to your pediatrician to determine if Evivo is suitable for your baby.
Babies can be fed Evivo immediately once they begin consuming breast milk.
Evivo work in synergy with breast milk to help establish a healthy gut microbiome and set your baby on a course to better health. Research has shown that babies who are fed Evivo have reduced colic-associated symptoms, sleep better, and have improved stooling patterns.
It’s worth noting that not all babies need a change in their bowel movements to indicate Evivo is working. If your baby is receiving Evivo and breast milk daily, Evivo is working.
Evivo is manufactured at a GMP facility in the USA, is gluten-free and non-GMO. Evivo contains no flavor additives, dyes, or preservatives. Our goal is to add only the components you’d expect to find in an infant’s healthy gastrointestinal tract.
Evivo contains milk and residual amounts of soy. If soy or milk is a concern, please consult your pediatrician before use.
No, it does not matter if baby was born vaginally or via cesarean. Regardless of delivery method, recent research indicates that 90% of babies in the U.S. are missing B. infantis potentially due to modern birthing and feeding practices.
It may take your baby a few days to adjust to the changes in their diet. Evivo helps babies use more nutrients from breast milk so less waste is expected, making less frequent bowel movements a common observation. The adjustment period can take up between 10 to 14 days (about 2 weeks). After this, babies should produce soft stools.
If your baby produces hard or pebble-like stools, it may indicate constipation and we recommend you contact your healthcare provider for advice.
While our clinical research studies focused on babies receiving breast milk, all babies that are receiving at least some breast milk can benefit from receiving Evivo

Breast milk provides the necessary nutrients for your baby’s growth and development. One of these, a seemingly undigestible nutrient called Human Milk Oligosaccharides (HMOs), is key to healthy development. Evivo contains B. infantis EVC001, which facilitates HMO digestion, supporting your baby to healthy immune system function.
It is not uncommon for infants to lack the B. infantis bacteria in their gut microbiome. Evivo is a probiotic that aims to restore the natural state of the infant gut microbiome by introducing the B. infantis bacteria. This bacteria effectively utilizes HMOs in breast milk that would otherwise go unused, ensuring that your baby receives more nutrients.
If your baby finishes an entire bottle during a single feeding, this feeding method may be best for them. Note that if your baby doesn’t finish the bottle, we recommend throwing away the leftovers after 30 minutes.
You do not need to re-serve Evivo in the same day if your baby spits up. We recommend waiting until it is time for the next serving. Evivo continues to colonize the gut after each feeding, so baby has protection in between feedings.
If baby continues to spit up while being fed Evivo, we recommend trying a different feeding method. Please refer to our instructions for use for feeding recommendations.
As long as your baby is receiving some breast milk, you can continue feeding Evivo once a day, every day. Evivo can play a critical role in safeguarding your baby against the overgrowth of potentially bad gut bacteria.
