ByHeart for Medical Professionals
ByHeart is an infant nutrition company built from the ground up to deliver real innovation on behalf of babies and parents. That’s why we studied the latest breast milk science, worked directly with suppliers we know and trust, set uncompromising quality standards, built our own manufacturing facilities, and conducted a groundbreaking clinical trial.
ByHeart Chief Medical Officer Devon Kuehn, MD, was joined by Jenifer Lightdale, MD, MPH, Pediatric Gastroenterologist, Boston, MA, for a discussion of the results of our groundbreaking clinical trial, published in the Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, as well as recent advances in the infant formula industry.

Did you know...
We ran the largest clinical trial by a new infant formula brand in 25 years.

Did you know that new clinical trials are not always required for infant formula if a brand is using an old recipe and not making any changes to it? Well, we created a new innovative infant formula, so we had to run our own clinical trial. And we went above and beyond the requirements. We included 311 babies over 6 months and even compared our formula to breast milk (we’re actually the only new infant formula brand to do that). All this allows us to understand our closeness to breast milk’s benefits.
We Let Our Data Do The Talking
We’re the only U.S.-made infant formula to…
…be clinically proven easy-to-digest with no soy, corn syrup, maltodextrin, and palm oil.
…use organic, grass-fed whole milk — breast milk doesn’t skim fats and neither do we.
…add the two most abundant breast milk proteins – lactoferrin and alpha-lactalbumin, at levels closer to breast milk.
