ByHeart

At the heart of ByHeart's mission is a profound commitment to revolutionizing infant nutrition, driven by the belief that a better feeding future is not just possible, but essential. Founded in 2016 by siblings Ron Belldegrun and Mia Funt, the company was born from a realization that the infant formula industry, long dominated by a few major players, had not kept pace with the advancements in breast milk science. This inspired a five-year journey to create a no-compromise, next-generation infant formula from the ground up. The culture at ByHeart is one of relentless innovation and scientific rigor, centered on the conviction that babies deserve the absolute best. This ethos permeates every facet of the organization, from its people to its processes. The team is a collective of world-class doctors, pediatric researchers, seasoned formula experts, and passionate parents, all united by a shared purpose: to empower parents with the best possible choices for their children's foundational health.

ByHeart's narrative is one of challenging the status quo and taking control to ensure unparalleled quality. Instead of outsourcing, they took the audacious step of acquiring and upgrading their own manufacturing facilities in Pennsylvania, Iowa, and Oregon, becoming only the fourth fully integrated, FDA-registered infant formula brand in the United States. This 'farm-to-formula' accountability allows for meticulous oversight of their entire supply chain, from hand-picking ingredients from trusted partners to their proprietary small-batch blending process. This dedication to quality is externally validated by their receipt of the Clean Label Project's Purity Award, a testament to their rigorous testing for over 700 contaminants. The company's values are rooted in transparency, empowerment, and a deep-seated desire to support parents on their feeding journey, whatever it may be. They foster a community built on providing not just superior products, but also parent-centric resources and support, believing that every parent knows their baby 'by heart' and deserves a partner that honors that intuition.
