The HMF products are powerful probiotics for relief of intestinal health problems. These Human Micro Flora (HMF) are human-derived strains including Lactobacillus acidophilus and L. bifidus, and the only product line of their kind in North America. All other probiotics are made from animal or dairy strains and may not adhere as well to the human gastrointestinal tract.
HMF Replete is the highest potency HMF product containing a minimum of 130 billion CFU of L. acidophilus, B. bifidum, B. lactis, and L. salivarius in each packet. Each of the three different strains attach in different areas of the epithelial tissue in the intestinal tract (small and large intestines). This probiotic is a microbial replacement program for the gastrointestinal tract intended for 7 to 14 days depending on the severity of the problem.
HMF Replete contains two strains of Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus salivarius, Bifidobacterium bifidum and Bifidobacterium lactis along with fructo-oligosaccharides in high concentrations to ensure rapid establishment and dominance of probiotic cultures in the gastrointestinal tract, especially during and following antibiotic therapy and chemotherapy. Supplementation of Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria will crowd out unwanted bacteria by repopulating the gastrointestinal tract. Lactobacillus salivarius, which triggers an anti-inflammatory response, has been demonstrated to be beneficial in inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis.
Major imbalances of friendly bacteria may result in severe abdominal discomfort, extreme fatigue and yeast infections. HMF Replete is an intensive probiotic replacement formula. It helps to recolonize the intestinal walls compromised during and following the use of antibiotics, chemotherapy and radiation. HMF Replete is indicated for acute and severe intestinal disturbances, dysbiosis, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, and for autoimmune conditions such as multiple sclerosis, AIDS, lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. Product ideal for vegans.

All HMF probiotics contain NO dairy, casein, wheat, gluten, soy, corn, nuts or other common allergens. And are manufactured in a nut free facility.
Safe and highly recommended during pregnancy, lactation, and antibiotic use.
Contraindications: None known.
FOS
The fructo-oligo-saccharides (FOS) ensure rapid establishment of the Lactobacilli in the upper small intestine and bifido bacteria in the lower small intestine. The source of FOS in the HMF super powder is from the whole freeze-dried apricot. The apricot is used for its soothing effect on the intestinal walls (and great flavor in the powders). If you experience excessive gas after taking this product, it is a sign that your microflora is out of balance and you need to keep taking probiotics. Yet, if you find the symptoms unmanageable, you can switch to HMF Intensive caps for 10 days which contains no FOS.
Where are the bacterial strains derived from?
Using laboratory procedures many years ago, hundreds of different bacterial strains were isolated from a healthy human intestinal wall sample. They were separated out, and each one was reproduced to make huge batches for testing via scientific trials. (Lab procedures only require one cell sample to reproduce large quantities for testing and production over the years). Research indicated that only four of the hundreds of available cultures were the beneficial strains with health promoting properties. These were the ones which held up strong during 15 years of testing, thus they were used as the probiotic strains in all the HMF products. These human strains are far superior to dairy or animal strains since the body recognizes these probiotics as "self" and allows better implantation. Read more about their safety here.

Are HMF products shipped with an ice pack? No. After extensive product testing and new freeze drying technology performed by Genestra, it was concluded that the ice pack did not make a difference during shipping since the product potency was still well over 100% label claims when shipped with ice or no ice. The manufacturer states that it is no longer necessary to ship the HMF products with an ice pack for these reasons:
1. Genestra has added in 50% more probiotic than what the label guarantees per bottle. For example, HMF Forte is guaranteed to have 6 billion L. acidophilus per serving, but there are 12 billion present at time of manufacturing and it is kept frozen until shipping.
2. October 2004: The manufacturer has increased product stability again, allowing the probiotics to last up to 6 months at room temperature holding their GUARANTEED minimum potency on label!
3. You will receive your HMF probiotic directly from the manufacturer in about 3-5 days. This product is very fresh and has not been sitting around on our shelves. And, you are guaranteed it will contain 50% more than what the label states.
How do I travel with my HMF probiotics? We highly recommend you take your probiotics with you on all trips and vacations since their potency will last for up to 6 months at room temperature un-refrigerated. But, when possible and if convenient, we recommend you store your probiotics in the freezer or refrigerator, especially if you plan to preserve freshness of your product for months or years.
HMF Probiotics Shipping & Heat Sensitivity Info (06/01/08)
We suggest that you select 2nd Day Air or Overnight during the summer months or if you live in a hot state (any month). If not, your probiotics or suppositories may arrive 5-7 days later and may be warm or hot to the touch. We cannot replace or refund warm/hot packages.During the summer (June-Sep), we automatically do not ship out probiotics or other heat sensitive orders until the following Monday for any orders placed after 12 pm EST Tuesday. We will only ship orders placed on Wednesday or Thursdays if 2nd day or Overnight shipping is requested AND the package can be delivered in the same week. We do not ship heat sensitive orders on Fridays at all, any time of the year. (unless you request otherwise in "Order Comments" and providing that you do not mind that your package will be held in the shippers non-airconditioned warehouse during the weekend). We want to minimize the amount of time your probiotics are in transit. Yet, rest assured that the manufacturer has increased stability with new freeze drying technology (Oct 2004) allowing the probiotics to last over 6 months at room temperature holding their GUARANTEED minimum potency on label.
In addition,at 90-100 degrees Fahrenheit it can be stored 3-4 weeks and still be within label claim. This means if the probiotics arrive very warm or hot to the touch due to delivery truck being hot, your product is still perfectly viable and will meet potency claims on label according to various tests done by manufacturer. Please do not be concerned about heat for the short 2-4 day transit. We have been using these probiotics for years after extensive delays in shipping during summer months, and they are still VERY viable and work incredibly well.
Are HMF products shipped with an ice pack? Will they spoil? Yes, we will automatically include a gel ice pack with your HMF probiotics during the summer months.Yet, this is ONLY FOR YOUR PEACE OF MIND.

Will my HMF probiotics be spoiled if they arrive with no ice pack and it's hot outside? NO. The manufacturer has invested in a special technology in order to allow the product to withstand higher temperatures and not require ice pack during shipping. Thus, ice during transport isoptional andnot necessarydue to their new freeze drying technology and the addition of 50% more probiotic at time of manufacturing than what the label claims. Yet, if temperatures are hot in your area in the summer months, you may want to request and ice pack during checkout for your own peace of mind. Despite the scientific proof that these probiotics hold up quite well even with hot summer shipping, we have found that our clients still don't feel comfortable unless an ice pack is included so we offer you the option to add one.

What is the survival of HMF probiotics through the stomach? With over 90% survival in the full stomach (when taken right after a meal) and over 50% survival in the harshest environment of the empty stomach, the HMF organisms proved particularly robust and well adapted to the human stomach. This was in contrast to other probiotic organisms, which showed great sensitivity to gastric conditions and poor adaptation to the human host. This study also demonstrated that probiotics should be taken in association with a meal to ensure maximum survival.
The pH of the empty stomach is between 1.5 and1.9 whereas, due to the buffering capacity of food, the pH is raised to between 3.8 and 4.3 in the full stomach. The aggressive nature of the stomach acts as an excellent barrier to invasion by potentially pathogenic microbes. So, for probiotics to be effective, they must survive in high numbers under the same environmental stresses as would severely inhibit or eradicate other bacteria. The HMF organisms were compared with other probiotic strains for their ability to survive passage.

My Naturopath introduced HMF Replete to me for my daughter 3 years ago. I thought it was pricey. 3 separte times she either went a period with out it or switched to another probiotic- each time she got sick!!!!!!!! I couldn't figure out what changed- until i traced it back to the HMF!!!!! The stomach flu goes around her school every year- and she does not get it anymore! HMF is the only brand that uses human strands, not animal!!!!! I introduced it to friends/family- all of which have thanked me for they never would've done it otherwise!
