Rich Maurer went on an experimental journey to improve his health with Human Milk Oligosaccharides or HMOs, a prebiotic found in human breastmilk that feeds beneficial bacteria. Through tracking his microbiome using 16s RNA testing, Rich was able to see a significant increase in his and family members’ Bifidobacteria and Akkermansia muciniphila, and concurrent improvements in their health, including improvements to IBS-D, asthma and acne, lower LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, and reducing hemoglobic A1C from prediabetic to optimal.
