3/2/2011 Ingredient Notice from Seroyal/Genestra:

The formulation of the HLC probiotics has not changed, just the manufacturer?s guarantee has changed on the label of the HLC Probiotics. It has been recently communicated to us by Seroyal/Pharmax that ?Barley gluten, lactose and soy are used in the fermentation medium for growing the micro-organisms prior to manufacturing the final formulation. These nutrients are digested by the micro-organisms during fermentation and further removed during centrifugation (after fermentation).?

?We have tested the HLC probiotics as worst-case scenarios based on total daily consumption and target populations and no gluten, dairy or soy was detected in the final product. Although our analytical assay for soy, gluten & dairy did not detect any proteins, these methods cannot detect total absence.?

HLC powder has a sweet taste due their fructo-oligo-saccharides (FOS) content which ensure rapid establishment of the Lactobacilli in the upper small intestine and bifido bacteria in the lower small intestine. FOS is a naturally-occurring water-soluble fiber from fruit and vegetables which feeds the friendly intestinal bacteria. It also provides naturally-occurring beta-carotene from the whole freeze-dried apricot. The apricot is used for its soothing effect on the intestinal walls and also for its flavor.

Pharmax Probiotics and Potency

1. Pharmax has purposefully added in 50% more probiotic than what the label guarantees per bottle. For example, HLC 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 again increased stability allowing the probiotics to last up to 3 months at room temperature holding their GUARANTEED minimum potency on label!
3. When you receive the product, it will contain up to 30% higher amounts than what the label guarantees.

How do I travel with and store my HLC probiotics?
We highly recommend you take your probiotics with you on all trips and vacations since their potency will last for up to 3 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.
Probiotics should be part of everyone's daily supplement regime. Your immune system and overall well-being revolves around the health of your intestines. HLC Probiotics are made from human strains and not dairy or animal, thus adhere and work exceptionally well in humans. These are the best quality probiotics we have ever worked with at Rockwell Nutrition.

The Sheffield Trial (2008) web site is intended to provide information about the nature of IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), it?s possible causes, and the latest research into new ways in which the symptoms associated with this condition can be reduced. In particular it details a recent trial of the effects of probiotics on the symptom of IBS.

The overall conclusions of this trial were that the supplementation of high numbers of probiotic bacteria to people diagnosed with IBS:

• Proved effective in significantly reducing total symptom levels of IBS
• Proved effective in improving quality of life in people with IBS.
• That continuous supplementation was necessary to sustain the effect.
