I took HMF Forte a month ago and feel fine. When & how should I resume usage?

Q. I finished taking HMF Forte one month ago and feel fine. Do you recommend taking them at any particular time frames or in intervals?

A. Since you have no symptoms, I recommend you take HMF Forte on a maintenance level 1 to 2 capsules per day to keep the immune system and gastrointestinal (GI) track strong. The immune system is largely dependent on the health of the intestines, so keeping them healthy and eliminating toxins well is quite important. I am unsure of the reason why you started taking them. Perhaps you were on antibiotics?

Here are my recommendations. If you have no GI symptoms currently, take one capsule per day. And, whenever you eat something that has made your stomach upset, take 4 capsules at once to “put out the fire”.

Before you travel overseas, take 2 caps twice daily for 7 days, and continue throughout your trip to prevent or treat “traveler’s tummy”. Also, if you ever need to take antibiotics again, you’ll need to supplement with HMF probiotics for at least 1-3 months to replenish the good flora.

These probiotics keep for over 2 years in the freezer, so it’s best to keep some on hand since they are so therapeutic for a variety of conditions.
