HMF^® Multi Strain is a comprehensive combination of 16 probiotic strains to support a healthy normal digestive flora. Each shelf-stable capsule provides a variety of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains to support a favourable gut microflora in both the small and large intestines.¹ HN019, a probiotic strain included in this formula, was shown in a placebo-controlled trial to promote a healthy gut flora.² It significantly increased Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli counts, while reducing the population of Enterobacteria (a genus that includes many pathogenic bacteria).² Similarly, Genestra's HMF probiotic consortium, Lactobacillus acidophilus (CUL-60 and CUL-21), Bifidobacterium bifidum (CUL-20) and Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis (CUL-34), contained in HMF^® Multi Strain has been demonstrated in clinical trials to support intestinal comfort and promote a healthy microflora balance in the gastrointestinal tract.^3-5 This convenient shelf-stable format has potency guaranteed through expiration and may improve patient compliance.
