NurtureBio Synbiotic Gains Clean Label Project Purity Certification

Raleigh-based maternal health firm NurtureBio has secured the Clean Label Project's Purity Award and First 1,000 Days Promise certification. The designation confirms the company’s synbiotic supplement meets stringent safety thresholds for heavy metals, pesticides, and other industrial contaminants, providing a new benchmark for infant and toddler gut health products.

The certifications, finalized on June 12, 2026, place NurtureBio among the top tier of tested products within the infant wellness category. The Purity Award evaluates items for substances not typically required on standard labels, such as glyphosate, phthalates, and bisphenols. Meanwhile, the First 1,000 Days Promise applies even tighter limits, drawing inspiration from protective European safety standards to cover the critical window of early developmental growth.

Stuart Smith, co-founder of NurtureBio, noted that the third-party validation aligns with the company’s push for transparency in early-life nutrition. The supplement itself integrates human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) with probiotic strains like Bifidobacterium infantis and Limosilactobacillus reuteri. Molly Hamilton, Executive Director of the Clean Label Project, stated that the certification serves as a model for the industry, emphasizing that parents should not be left to guess the composition of supplements given to their children.

Established in 2024, NurtureBio focuses on microbiome research in collaboration with institutions such as the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. While the product has not been evaluated by the FDA and is not intended to treat specific diseases, the company maintains that the certification process offers families an objective layer of safety verification.
