What's In Growing Up Prebiotics? (And What Isn't)
share this article
When you're giving something to your kids every day, ingredient clarity matters. Growing Up Prebiotics is intentionally simple, built around a short list of two well-understood prebiotic ingredients, with nothing extra added.
Here's a clear breakdown of what's inside, why it's there, and what you won't find.
What's in Growing Up Prebiotics?
Growing Up Prebiotics contains 2 simple ingredients:
2'-FL HMO (Human Milk Oligosaccharide)
Growing Up Prebiotics contains 2'-FL HMO (MyOli®), the most abundant prebiotic found naturally in human breast milk.
HMOs are a type of prebiotic carbohydrate that nourish and support the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, particularly Bifidobacteria, which are common in healthy infant and kiddo gut microbiomes. Unlike sugars, HMOs are not digested for energy. Instead, they pass through the digestive system and are used by beneficial gut bacteria.
Including 2'-FL HMO helps mirror one of the natural ways young guts are supported early in life, in a form suitable for kids beyond infancy.
3g Chicory Root Fiber (Per Serving)
Each serving of Growing Up Prebiotics provides 3 grams of chicory root fiber, a plant-based prebiotic fiber.
Chicory root fiber is widely used because it:
-
Acts as a food source for beneficial gut bacteria
-
Mixes easily into foods and drinks
-
Is flavorless and gentle when introduced consistently
Prebiotic fibers like chicory root fiber help support regular digestion by promoting a gut environment that encourages softer, more comfortable stooling over time.
Other Ingredients
None.
Growing Up Prebiotics contains only these two prebiotic ingredients — no fillers, sweeteners, or functional extras added for taste, texture, or appearance.

What Growing Up Prebiotics Does Not Contain
Food dyes
Food dyes are often added to make products visually appealing, but they don't contribute to digestion or prebiotic function. Growing Up Prebiotics is colorless by design so it can mix seamlessly into foods and drinks without changing their appearance.
Corn syrup
Corn syrup is commonly used as a sweetener or filler. Growing Up Prebiotics does not rely on added sugars for taste or texture, allowing you to control sweetness based on how you serve it.
Seed oils
Seed oils are sometimes included to improve mouthfeel or processing. Because Growing Up Prebiotics is a dry, mix-in powder, oils are unnecessary for performance or stability.
Artificial flavors
Artificial flavors are used to mask strong or unpleasant tastes. Growing Up Prebiotics is intentionally unflavored, so it blends easily into everyday foods and drinks without needing flavor additives.
Maltodextrin
Maltodextrin is often used as a bulking agent or carrier in powdered supplements. Growing Up Prebiotics does not require a filler to deliver its serving size, so maltodextrin is left out.
Soy
Soy is a common allergen and is frequently used as a processing aid or filler. Growing Up Prebiotics avoids soy to keep the ingredient list simpler and compatible for more kiddos.
Food waxes
Food waxes are sometimes used as coatings to improve appearance or shelf stability. Because Growing Up Prebiotics is not coated or flavored, waxes are unnecessary.
Growing Up Prebiotics also contains no unnecessary binders, coatings, or flavoring agents, keeping the formula focused on functional prebiotic ingredients only.
Why This Matters for Kids
Kids don't need complicated formulas. They need:
-
Ingredients that are easy to recognize
-
Consistent, measurable fiber intake
-
Products that fit into real food and drink routines
A short ingredient list makes it easier to understand what you're giving your kid and easier for kids to take consistently.
Bottom Line
Growing Up Prebiotics is built around two purpose-driven prebiotics:
-
2'-FL HMO, inspired by the most abundant prebiotic in breast milk
-
Chicory root fiber, providing 3 grams of prebiotic fiber per serving
And that's it.
No dyes. No sweeteners. No fillers. Just targeted prebiotic support designed to fit into everyday life for growing kiddos.
