HLC Intensive

The HLC products are powerful probiotics for relief of intestinal health problems. These Human Lactic Commensals (HLC) 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. These contain no wheat, gluten, dairy, or casein.

HLC Intensive is the highest potency HLC product in a capsule and contains no Fructo-oligosacharides (FOS). Each capsule contains a minimum of 24 billion CFU of L. acidophilus, B. bifidum, B. lactis. 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.

All HLC probiotics contain a substantial increase in potency (double) and no price increase.

  • HLC organisms successfully used in clinical trial
  • Virtually 100% survival through stomach
  • Ability to attach to human epithelial cells
  • Long shelf stability and full label claim within 6 months at room temperature
  • Independent verification of specification with every batch
  • Suitable for vegans and those sensitive to dairy (casein) and wheat (gluten)

    Please note: Exchanges, refunds or returns on this item are not allowed. Intensive-level Probiotic Formula

  • Serving Size:  1 capsule
    Servings Per Container:  30

  • Bifidobacterium lactis (CUL 34)

    Other Ingredients: cellulose, silica, vegetable magnesium stearate.

    Recommended Intake:
    1-4 capsules taken daily after a meal or whenever convenient. These probiotics survive quite well if taken after meals or on an empty stomach.

    Contra-indications:
    None known if recommended intake is followed.

    Storage:
    May contain up to 36 billion viable cells if kept refrigerated. Once removed from refrigerator, product will maintain label potency for 3 months at room temperature.

  • These are the most potent probiotic capsules you'll find anywhere. They are my favorite since when I need to take probiotics, I want the strongest stuff available. No messing around. I used these HLC Intensive caps along with Broad Spectrum Complex by Pharmax to get rid of parasites I got while in Peru. On several occasions, I have offered my house guests HLC Intensive when they have serious indigestion, and within 30-60 mintues they have no more symptoms.

    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.

    Clinical trial: a multistrain probiotic preparation significantly reduces symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome in a double-blind placebo-controlled study
    E. A. WILLIAMS, J . STIMPSON, D. WANG, S. PLUMMER, I. GARAIOVA, M. E. BARKER & B. M. CORFE

    SUMMARY
    Background The efficacy of probiotics in alleviating the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) appears to be both strain- and dose-related.

    Aim
    To investigate the effect of LAB4, a multistrain probiotic preparation on symptoms of IBS. This probiotic preparation has not previously been assessed in IBS.

    Methods
    Fifty-two participants with IBS, as defined by the Rome II criteria, participated in this double blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study. Participants were randomized to receive either a probiotic preparation comprising two strains of Lactobacillus acidophilus CUL60 (NCIMB 30157) and CUL21 (NCIMB 30156), Bifidobacterium lactis CUL34 (NCIMB 30172) and Bifidobacterium bifidum CUL20 (NCIMB 30153) at a total of 2.5 · 1010 cfu ⁄ capsule or a placebo for 8 weeks. Participants reported their IBS symptoms using a questionnaire fortnightly during the intervention and at 2 weeks post-intervention. Results A significantly greater improvement in the Symptom Severity Score of IBS and in scores for quality of life, days with pain and satisfaction with bowel habit was observed over the 8-week intervention period in the volunteers receiving the probiotic preparation than in the placebo group.

    Conclusion
    LAB4 multistrain probiotic supplement may benefit subjects with IBS.

    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.

    Are HLC products shipped with an ice pack?
    Not usually. This is because after extensive product testing and new freeze drying technology performed by Phamax, 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 HLC products with an ice pack for these reasons:

    1. Pharmax has added in 50% more probiotic than what the label guarantees per bottle. For example, HLC Caps are 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 HLC 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 HLC 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.

    We routinely use Pharmax's HLC Intensive. We love it because it contains no FOS and is free of common allergens. We have had success in using it in response to a C. Diff infection.

    Not sure if it works, but like the dosage   1/28/2010
    Reviewed by sabrina from San Jose, CA.
    I'm not sure if this works, but I do like the high amount of probio in just a small dosage. I have only used this for one month after 2months of Candida treatment in order to build back my acidophilus level. There are other pills you can find that will have more strains (Jarrow has one that is shelf stabilized that has a LOT of different strains) but I chose this one because it is dairy free completely and Jarrow (along with a lot at Whole Foods) have traces of dairy or casein. I have felt a little bit bloated, but I am not sure if it is related. I was taking 2 pills 2x a day, but I am going to go to 1 pill 2x a day for a month, then just 1 pill a day to offset the costs.

    Not working as a CandaClear replacement   1/28/2010
    Reviewed by Jim from Menlo Park, ca.
    Ever since the HLC CandaClear product was withdrawn from the market the HLC INtensive Caps have been recommended as a replacement. We have found however that these do not dissolve reliably when used as a vaginal suppository, and this the contents are never delivered. So its a no-go in that department.
