FOS + L-Glutamine provides an excellent source of fructo-oligosaccharides along with L-glutamine to encourage the production of friendly bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract. Fructo-oligosaccharides improve the efficiency of the digestive tract while L-glutamine aids in the production of the mucous lining of both the stomach and the intestines. FOS + L-Glutamine is indicated for conditions associated with leaky gut syndrome and gastric upsets, including candida albicans, and parasitic and fungal infections; and for digestive disorders such as bloating, constipation and diarrhea.

Each Vegetable Capsule Contains

Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS).......125 mg

Jerusalem Artichoke.......185 mg

l-Glutamine (Glutamine).......300 mg

The fructo-oligo-saccharides (FOS) ensure rapid establishment of the Lactobacilli in the upper small intestine and bifido bacteria in the lower small intestine. The source of FOS in the HMF super powder is from the whole freeze-dried apricot. The apricot is used for its soothing effect on the intestinal walls (and great flavor in the powders).

"Where are the bacterial strains derived from?":

Using laboratory procedures many years ago, hundreds of different bacterial strains were isolated from a healthy human intestinal wall sample. They were separated out, and each one was reproduced to make huge batches for testing via scientific trials. (Lab procedures only require one cell sample to reproduce large quantities for testing and production over the years).

Research indicated that only four of the hundreds of available cultures were the beneficial strains with health promoting properties. These were the ones which held up strong during 10 years of testing, thus they were used as the probiotic strains in all the HMF products.

These human strains are far superior to dairy or animal strains since the body recognizes these probiotics as "self" and allows better implantation.

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).
