Helps maintain a natural and healthy gut flora. Provides 10 billion CFU per dose. Combines four research-backed strains of lactobacilli and bifidobacteria. Free of fructooligosaccharides (FOS). HMF® capsules provide four patented probiotic strains that temporarily modify gut flora in adults and children. The composition of gut microflora is relatively stable, although it can be altered by diet, stress, age, and medication. Probiotics promote the presence of beneficial bacteria for maintaining healthy intestines. In addition to decreasing pathogen survival by increasing the release of antimicrobial peptides by host cells, probiotics also strengthen the epithelial barrier. They support the integrity of tight junctions, which control permeability, and increase the release of mucins, which prevent pathogens from adhering to intestinal surface cells. HMF® capsules contain research-backed strains of lactobacilli and bifidobacteria to promote colonization of the small and large intestines.
