Hmf Replenish Capsules (14 Capsules)

Reduces IBS symptoms in adults and children • Provides live microorganisms that are part of a healthy, natural gut flora • Proven to complement normal gut microbiota after antibiotic therapy • Probiotics to significantly reduce irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms in adults and children over 11 years of age • Provides 100 billion CFU per dose from: Lactobacillus acidophilus (CUL-60), Lactobacillus acidophilus (CUL-21), Bifidobacterium bifidum (CUL-20), Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis (CUL-34), Lactobacillus salivarius (CUL-61) • Includes fructooligosaccharides (FOS) HMF Replenish capsules contain five proprietary human-sourced probiotic strains that decrease IBS symptoms in adults and children. IBS affects nearly 5 million Canadians and can result from altered gut microflora.1,2 Lactobacilli and bifidobacteria promote healthy gut microflora and increase the reabsorption of bile salts, which is impaired in IBS.1 This results in less water entering the colon to dilute bile salts, decreasing water excretion and the occurrence of diarrhea.1 In a randomized, placebo-controlled trial involving 52 adults with IBS, daily supplementation with CUL-60, CUL-21, CUL-20, and CUL-34 significantly improved quality of life and bowel habit satisfaction scores, and decreased the number of pain days within 10 weeks.3 Antibiotics also alter gut microflora and can lead to the proliferation of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.1 HMF Replenish capsules promote normal gut microbiota after antibiotic therapy by further decreasing pH and increasing mucin release to prevent pathogenic adherence to cells.4,5 REFERENCES 1.
