Evivo's drops join the brand's powder in earning a Mom's Choice Award. The dual recognition gives Evivo shelf positioning in the crowded infant probiotic market as it competes on a proprietary strain.
Evivo Probiotic Drops with Vitamin D3 has won a Mom's Choice Award, the company said Tuesday. The recognition puts both of Evivo's infant probiotic products among the family-friendly brands that the awards program endorses. Evivo Probiotic Powder earned the same award earlier.
The Mom's Choice Awards evaluates products on seven criteria: production quality, design, educational value, originality, appeal, value, and trust for families. A panel including parents, children, librarians, and medical professionals does the judging. The program is among the better-known seals in the parenting market, appearing on thousands of products from strollers to educational apps.
"We're honored that Evivo Probiotic Drops has been recognized," said Mike Johnson, chief executive of Infinant Health, the company behind Evivo. "This recognition reflects our commitment to helping babies get the best possible start by developing products grounded in rigorous science. It's especially meaningful because it comes from an organization dedicated to identifying products that families can trust."
Dawn Matheson, CEO of Mom's Choice Awards, said the panel found that Evivo's products "exemplify the high standards of quality, innovation, and family-focused value that parents can trust."
The dual recognition matters for shelf positioning. Infant probiotics are a crowded category, with brands like Culturelle, Gerber, and Garden of Life all marketing drops and powders to new parents. A Mom's Choice seal occupies real estate on product packaging and search results. For a brand like Evivo, which competes on a proprietary strain rather than price or distribution breadth, the endorsement carries weight with the target buyer: parents who research before purchase.
Evivo's proprietary strain is Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis EVC001. It feeds on human milk oligosaccharides, complex nutrients naturally found in breast milk and now added to select infant formulas. The brand says EVC001 is among the most extensively researched B. infantis strains in the world. The strain is exclusive to Evivo products, meaning no competitor can claim the same clinical data.
The clinical research backing EVC001 includes studies on gut microbiome composition, reduced inflammation markers, and lower levels of potentially pathogenic bacteria in full-term infants. Infinant Health publishes a bibliography on its website under "EVC001 Research" for healthcare professionals and parents who want to verify the claims.
Infinant Health is based in Sacramento, California. The company was founded by a group of microbiome researchers who spun out of the University of California. It has raised venture funding from investors including the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, though it has not disclosed recent valuation figures.
