HLC Multi Strain is a 15 billion CFU probiotic formula, providing four strains of proprietary, human-sourced Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium bifidum and Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis that supports a healthy gut microflora.* The intestinal microbiota, which contains more than 400 bacterial species, can be altered by aging, or impacted by premature or caesarean birth. The intestines are a critical barrier that selectively allows absorption or promotes the excretion of compounds, and their optimal function depends on a healthy microbiome. The most commonly used probiotics are Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria. They effectively colonize the intestines, but after ingestion ends, their counts decline. Probiotics also reinforce the epithelial barrier, and they control permeability by mediating tight junction integrity.* • Promotes gastrointestinal health* • Provides 16 probiotic strains and 15 billion CFU per capsule • 100% pure vegetable-sourced
