HLC Child + Multi

3/30/2012 Ingredient Notice from Seroyal/Genestra regarding lactose, barley gluten and soy in the fermentation medium:

"We have been working to remove the allergens in the fermentation medium with great success. Lactose has been removed. Any lot number after 25322 has lactose free fermentation medium. We have also successfully removed gluten and soy from a research & development perspective. These allergen free fermentation mediums should be available soon."

These nutrients are digested by the micro-organisms during fermentation and further removed during centrifugation (after fermentation).
