HMF Capsules provide four strains of proprietary human-sourced probiotics that support healthy gut flora in adults and children. The microflora composition in the gut is relatively steady, although it can be altered by diet, stress, age and medication use. Probiotics support healthy bacterial balance to maintain healthy intestinal function. Probiotics support the epithelial barrier and mediate the integrity of tight junctions, which control permeability. Lactic acid bacteria Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria are the most commonly used probiotics, and effectively colonize the intestines. In a randomized, placebo-controlled trial involving 22 adults, daily supplementation with a probiotic containing Lactobacillus acidophilus supported healthy microflora balance.
Each capsule contains probiotic consortium 2.5 billion CFU [Lactobacillus acidophilus (CUL-60 & CUL-21) 1.87 billion CFU, Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis (CUL-34) & Bifidobacterium bifidum (CUL-20) 0.63 billion CFU]; non-medicinal ingredients: cellulose, hypromellose, silica, sunflower lecithin; ingredients used to maintain viability of probiotics: dipotassium phosphate, monopotassium phosphate, trehalose, sucrose.
Recommended Dose: Adults, Adolescents and Children (6 years and older): Take 2 capsules 2 times daily with meals, at least 2 to 3 hours before or after taking antibiotics, or as recommended by your healthcare practitioner.
