Evivo

What Evivo does

Evivo, operated by Infinant Health, Inc. (incorporated in California), is a consumer biotechnology company that develops and sells a daily infant probiotic built around a single proprietary bacterial strain — Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis (B. infantis) EVC001. Founded in 2005 by five UC Davis scientists (Bruce German, Carlito Lebrilla, Daniela Barile, David Mills, Samara Freeman) who spent decades researching breast milk and the infant gut microbiome, Evivo's central scientific claim is that EVC001 is the only probiotic strain capable of fully digesting human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) in breast milk, converting them into lactate and acetate that lower gut pH and create a protective environment. The product targets an addressable problem: approximately 90% of US babies are reported to lack B. infantis due to C-sections, antibiotics, and modern hygiene, leading to suboptimal HMO utilization, elevated gut pH, and downstream digestive/immune issues.

Evivo offers two delivery formats — Evivo Drops (liquid with olive oil and organic Vitamin D3) and Evivo Powder Packets (individually packaged single-day sachets) — both containing the same proprietary EVC001 strain and intended for newborns and infants fed any amount of breast milk or HMOs in formula. The company's moat rests on the proprietary strain itself plus 14+ published clinical studies, including the GPPAD SINT1A Trial (1,149 infants across Europe/UK, funded by the Helmsley Charitable Trust) and a Johnson & Johnson Consumer collaboration in Finland (270+ infants). Products are sold via a direct-to-consumer e-commerce storefront (store.evivo.com), Amazon, Walmart, specialty retailer Bumblebaby, and baby registries, with an auto-ship subscription program offering discounted pricing relative to one-time purchases. A Clinical Implementation team (including board-certified pediatricians and neonatologists) drives healthcare professional recommendations, complemented by community partnerships with lactation consultants, Doulas, and organizations such as SimpliFed.

The company is headquartered in Sacramento, California (2535 Capitol Oaks Dr., Suite 130), employs 51-100 people, holds Non-GMO Project Verification, Nutrasource IPRO certification, Mom's Choice Award recognition, and Clean Label Project Baby Coalition membership. Pricing is not publicly disclosed on the website; revenue, funding history, and detailed cap table are not disclosed in available sources. No AI/ML capabilities, APIs, or developer-facing integrations are evident in the product or technology stack.

Core offering

Evivo (Infinant Health, Inc.) manufactures and sells daily infant probiotic products containing the proprietary Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis (B. infantis) EVC001 strain, available as liquid drops and powder packets. The products are designed to establish a healthy gut microbiome in newborns fed breast milk (or HMOs in formula) by fully digesting human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs), supporting immune development and reducing colic, gas, and diaper rash.

Product overview

Evivo is a specialized infant probiotic company offering two product formats—Evivo Drops and Evivo Powder Packets—both containing the proprietary B. infantis EVC001 strain. The products are designed to work synergistically with breast milk (or HMOs in formula) to establish a healthy gut microbiome in newborns and support immune function. Both products serve the same core purpose of delivering B. infantis EVC001 to infant guts, differentiated only by delivery format (liquid drops vs. powder).

Broad incumbents

• Gerber (Nestle Nutrition): Mass-market infant nutrition brand (Nestle) offering Good Start SoothePro formula with probiotics and a full infant feeding portfolio. Overlaps on infant gut-health positioning and HCP endorsement but operates at vastly larger scale and broader product breadth.
• Plum Organics: Organic baby food, snack and meal brand (Campbell Soup) with national retail and DTC distribution. Adjacent comparable on organic/clean-label positioning, parent demographic, and baby-stage product portfolio breadth competing for the same household wallet.
• Mead Johnson (Enfamil / Reckitt): Global infant formula leader (Enfamil) now part of Reckitt, with bioactive and probiotic-positioned variants. Broad incumbent with pediatrician relationships and nationwide hospital sampling programs that Evivo competes against for recommendation-driven demand.

Emerging players

• Else Nutrition: Plant-based, clean-label toddler and infant nutrition brand distributed through DTC and natural channels. Comparable on clean-label/premium positioning, parent-of-toddler target, and natural-channel retail partnerships, though focused on whole-food formula alternatives.
• Bobbie: US-based DTC organic infant formula brand raising institutional capital. Comparable on DTC-first go-to-market, parent demographic, subscription mechanics, and premium positioning, though Bobbie focuses on formula rather than standalone probiotics.
• ByHeart: US DTC next-generation infant nutrition company offering whole-milk formula with clinically studied ingredients. Comparable on premium DTC positioning, parent target, and science-forward brand narrative competing for the same shelf space and pediatric recommendation slots.

Direct peers

• Culturelle: Probiotic brand owned by i-Health (Chr. Hansen) selling LGG-strain products including Kids and Baby formulations through mass-market retail and pediatrician sampling. Directly comparable on probiotic category, parent target, retail/DTC distribution, and HCP endorsement strategy.
• BioGaia: Swedish probiotics company selling B. lactis-based drops and tablets for infants and children through global distribution. Closest direct comparable: comparable target customer (parents of infants), probiotic drops format, healthcare-professional channel, and proprietary strain-led branding strategy.
• Wellements: Premium natural-organic baby wellness brand selling probiotics, gripe water, and supplements DTC and through natural retailers. Comparable target consumer (natural-leaning new parents), similar DTC-led distribution model, and overlapping product categories including infant probiotics.
• Biocodex (Florastor): French pharma-owned probiotics brand selling Saccharomyces boulardii-based products through pharmacies and DTC. Comparable on proprietary-strain-led differentiation, healthcare-provider recommendation channel, and probiotics-only focus.
