Are HLC probiotics really derived from humans?

Q. Are HLC probiotics really derived from humans?

A. Yes, HLC probiotics (including HLC Candaclear) were originally derived from humans back many years ago. Once the ideal strains were found, they were tested, isolated, and replicated in the laboratory.

The Bifidobacterium mother culture (original batch), was isolated from feces and the Lactobacillus mother culture was isolated from vaginal cells. By isolating strains of human origin (vs animal, plant, or dairy), the scientists were able to select strains that are much better adapted for colonization in the human GI tract. This ensures optimal adherence properties for the selected strains and makes the HLC probiotics superior and more effective than other types of probiotics.

The selection process of the strains in HLC probiotics was one which took many years. In order to select the best strains, scientists needed to test 100’s of bacteria for their effects on the human GI, vagina, and immune system, adherence properties, stability at different temperatures, survival rate at low pH in the stomach, etc. In addition, the screening process selected only non-pathogenic bacteria. Pharmax’s screening process ensures that only friendly bacteria are selected.

In conclusion, the strains in HLC probiotics are not only extremely effective, but have such an impressive safety profile that they have been approved in a number of scientific trials on newborn infants!
