Ingredients & Purity

Uses grass-fed whole milk. Features a 'cluster' of proteins found in breast milk including Alpha-Lactalbumin and Lactoferrin. No corn syrup, maltodextrin, or palm oil.

Scientific Evidence

Clinical trial demonstrated 2x less spit-up and easier digestion compared to a leading infant formula. Certified by the Clean Label Project for purity.

Brand Transparency

ByHeart owns their manufacturing facility in Pennsylvania, allowing for total oversight of the production process and rigorous batch testing.

Value Assessment

Priced at the premium end of the market. While more expensive than mass-market brands, the inclusion of lactoferrin (an expensive ingredient) justifies the cost for those seeking the closest breast milk analog.

Why Not Alternatives?

ByHeart conducted its own large-scale clinical trial, a rarity for new formula brands. It outperforms competitors by including both Lactoferrin (for immunity) and a 80:20 whey-to-casein ratio that is easier on developing digestive systems than standard 60:40 mixes.
