Antimicrobial-Probiotic Program

New! Oct 2004, all HMF probiotics contain a substantial increase in potency (double) and no price increase

HMF Duo The HMF products are powerful probiotics for relief of intestinal health problems. These Human Micro Flora (HMF) are human-compatible adhesion strains including Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus bifidus, and the only product line of their kind in North America. All other probiotics are made from animal strains and may not adhere as well to the human gastrointestinal tract.

Each inner capsule contains:

• Lactobacillus acidophilus (2 strains).......1 million
• Bifidobacterium bifidum.......0.5 million
• Bifidobacterium lactis.......0.5 million

The innovative encapsulation process combines an enteric-coated inner capsule with probiotics and allicin, within an outer capsule containing antimicrobial extracts. Each of the capsule’s contents will be released in different areas within the gastointestinal tract. The antimicrobial oils are released into the stomach, leaving the inner capsule with Lactobacilli, Bifidobacteria and allicin intact releasing the contents only when reaching the duodenum. HMF Duo is indicated for traveller’s diarrhea, food poisoning, parasitic infections, Helicobacter pylori, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, food intolerances and for fungal infections, including candidiasis and gastroenteritis. HMF Duo is recommended to help maintain the normal balance of friendly intestinal bacteria and to support intestinal health and wellbeing.

Are HMF products shipped with an ice pack?
No. But, 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.
