Promotes intestinal health in children and adults • Provides live microorganisms that temporarily modify gut flora • Helps support gastrointestinal health • Provides 25 billion CFU per dose from: Lactobacillus acidophilus (CUL-60), Lactobacillus acidophilus (CUL-21), Bifidobacterium bifidum (CUL-20), Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis (CUL-34) HMF Intensive Powder provides four proprietary, human-sourced probiotic strains that help promote intestinal health in children and adults. Lactobacilli and bifidobacteria are the most commonly used probiotics.1 They are safe, effectively colonize the intestines, and decrease the entry of bacteria from the intestines into circulation.1 Probiotics strengthen the epithelial barrier, which allows the absorption of select compounds and promotes the excretion of harmful substances.1 Probiotics control intestinal permeability by mediating the integrity of tight junctions and prevent pathogenic adherence to cells by increasing the release of mucin on intestinal surfaces.1 In addition to their barrier effects, probiotics decrease pathogen survival by increasing the release of antimicrobial peptides from host cells.1 Although the composition of the intestinal microflora is relatively stable, it can be modified by diet, stress, age, and medication.2 Probiotics support the presence of beneficial bacteria to maintain intestinal health and normal function.2 REFERENCES 1.
