HMF Neuro

The first probiotic specifically developed for gluten and casein intolerant people including: Autism, ADHD, and Celiac

• Up to 50% of Autistic and ADHD Sufferers co-present with Intestinal Symptoms.
• Proven intestinal pathology alongside Autism and ADHD includes leaky gut, inflamation and overt colitis.
• This gut pathology is related to sensitivity to certain foods especially gluten-containing grains and dairy products.
• Intestinal symptoms and Autism/ADHD severity decrease when exclusion dairy and wheat diets are introduced.
• This link is due to gluten and dairy proteins being broken down in the gut into peptides with opiate properties similar to endorphins and opiate drugs.
• These dietary 'Exorphins' are absorbed from the gut and reach the brain where they cause symptoms associated with autism.

Up until now, the only recourse has been to exclude these exorphin-generating foods from the diet. However, the problems is that it is not only gluten-containing and dairy foods that generate exorphins?meat and even some vegetables also generate exorphins.

This is why Genestra has developed HMF Neuro Capsules?a completely new type of probiotic that combines the original HMF High Potency product with two new strains that can break down these damaging exorphins in the gut...before they can be absorbed!

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

The formulation of the HMF probiotics has not changed, just the manufacturer?s guarantee has changed on the label of the HMF Probiotics. It has been recently communicated to us by Seroyal/Genestra 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 HMF 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.?

The new Lactobacillus rhamnosus species have the capability of breaking down the exorphin peptides which can be produced in excess in the intestines of autistic children.  In addition to possessing peptide-hydrolysing abilities, Bifidobacterium bifidum, Bifidobacterium lactis, and the two strains of L. acidophilus assist with mercury detoxification and helps to heal the mucosal barrier and restore the intestinal tract. Research shows that autistic children have significantly higher gastrointestinal tract disorders, and have increased intestinal permeability consequently leading to the accumulations of toxins such as heavy metals, in particular mercury, and undigested proteins in the lymph, circulatory and central nervous systems, triggering systemic abnormalities. Undigested proteins, from foods containing gluten and casein, can lead to the production of aberrant peptides with opioid activity or ?exorphins? in the intestines. HMF Neuro Capsules helps heal and maintain the integrity of the intestinal tract, and is indicated for ADHD and for all ASDs such as autism, Asperger?s Syndrome, childhood disintegrative disorder, Rett Syndrome, and pervasive developmental disorder- not otherwise specified.

HMF Neuro Capsules contains a specifically selected strain of Lactobacillus rhamnosus (CLT341). This strain is proven to degrade wheat and dairy exorphins and to attach to, and colonize intestinal epithelial cells (Figures 1 & 2).

Figure 2: Breakdown of wheat exorphin-A5 by selected HMF lactic acid bacteria

HMF Neuro Capsules has been shown to degrade dietary exorphins in human subjects (Figures 3).

Figure 3: Effect of 21 days supplementations of HMF Neuro Capsules on urinary excretion of opioid peptide exorphin B5 in six normal adult subjects.>

Subjects were provided with a meal of bread and milk and urinary exorphin measured over the next 10 hours. Subjects took Neuro for 21 days before being offered the same meal of bread and milk. The difference in the 'before' and 'after' urinary exorphin profiles are clear.

HMF Neuro Capsules contains the original HMF High Potency specification.

HMF Neuro Capsules provides a total specification of 12 billion cfu's per day.

Who would benefit?

Any child or adult with autism or ADHD would benefit from HMF Neuro Capsules, especially those with intestinal symptoms of any severity.

Any individual with intolerance to gluten or dairy would derive benefit from HMF Neuro Capsules.

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.
