kēpos™ For Digestion, New Daily Prebiotic, Now Available at Erewhon

CHICAGO, Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- kēpos, a supplement brand pioneering the use of human milk bioactives in adult nutrition, today announced that its flagship kēpos™ For Digestion daily prebiotic is now available at all Erewhon locations. The product is the first gut health supplement to combine kpHMO™ (human milk oligosaccharides) with effera® (human milk lactoferrin) – two bioactive ingredients that are structurally identical to those found in human milk – for adults seeking digestive wellness support.

Multiple clinical research studies have found that human milk oligosaccharides can significantly reduce bloating, GI discomfort and abdominal pain while also promoting healthy stool consistency and improving food tolerance in people with digestive issues. Separately, human milk lactoferrin has been shown to improve ferritin levels, skin and hair health, transferrin levels and immune health. The two ingredients have never been tested together.

Now kēpos for Digestion is the subject of the largest clinical trial ever conducted on the use of human milk bioactives to improve digestive quality of life. The randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial of 300 adults is examining the product's impact on abdominal discomfort, gas, bloating and stool consistency as well as evaluating user tolerance, potential side effects, and influence on the gut microbiome. The study is expected to be completed in early 2027.

"We spent more than three years developing this product in collaboration with some of the country's top microbiome researchers, and positive response from early customers has strengthened our belief that human milk bioactives represent an important new frontier in adult nutrition," said kēpos co-founder Oliver Drazsky, who launched the company with fellow University of Chicago graduate Catalina Castaneda and Cornell doctorate Dave Huang in a quest to mitigate his own decade-long struggle with irritable bowel syndrome. "This placement in Erewhon, a Certified B Corp and organic retailer, is an important step in bringing our brand to consumers looking for relief from digestive discomfort."

kēpos for Digestion is low FODMAP certified, has no dairy or additives, and comes in powdered form that tastes like cotton candy when taken dry. MSRP is $89.99 for a 30-day supply. The standard serving is one scoop daily. Individuals with heightened sensitivity may begin with one-half scoop and increase as tolerated.
