Probiotics for adult and child gastrointestinal health • Probiotics that temporarily modify gut flora • Provides 24 billion CFU per daily dose from: Lactobacillus acidophilus (CUL-60), Lactobacillus acidophilus (CUL-21), Bifidobacterium bifidum (CUL-20), Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis (CUL-34), and Lactobacillus rhamnosus (CUL-63) • Includes 500 mg of L-glutamine per daily dose HMF Neuro Capsules is a combination of five proprietary, human-sourced probiotic strains and the amino acid L-glutamine. The human intestinal tract contains over 400 bacterial species, though its composition can be altered by diet, stress, medication and age.1 Supplementation with high numbers of a combination of microorganisms helps to maximize intestinal colonization, promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria.2 The intestines are critical barriers that selectively allow absorption and promote the excretion of harmful substances.3 Probiotics prevent pathogenic bacteria from colonizing the gastrointestinal tract by reducing pH and stimulating the production of antimicrobial peptides in the gut.3 In addition to decreasing bacterial survival, probiotics strengthen the epithelial barrier.3 They mediate tight junction integrity, which controls permeability, and increase mucin release, which prevents pathogens from adhering to cells.2 Together, this decreases the movement of bacteria from the gut into circulation.3 Lactobacilli and bifidobacteria are the most commonly used probiotics and are safe and effective for both adults and children. However, once their ingestion is discontinued, their numbers decline or disappear.3,4 ^{references 1. Nagpal, R, Yadav, H, Kumar, M, Jain, S, Yamashiro, Y, Marotta, F. (2013). In Otles, S.
