HMF Pre + Probiotic is a synbiotic preparation of micoflora and non-digestible soluble fibers, syngeristically formulated to restore and maintain colonic microflora, and to improve the implantation, survival and growth of the beneficial bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract. Prebiotics, non-digestible food substances that stimulate the growth of beneficial bacteria, are critical to colon health and the immune system. The addition of fructo-oligosaccharides and psyllium husk ensure significant prebiotic effect especially in those individuals who lack soluble fiber; This combination product enhances the ability of the beneficial bacteria to adhere to the intestines, while at the same time providing a source of fiber.
Intake of probiotics and prebiotics has been clinically demonstrated to modify the composition of the microflora, restore the microbial balance and, thereby, provide health-promoting effects. Prebiotics and probiotics encourage the body’s own natural defence mechanism to manage ulcerative colitis, acute and antibiotic-associated diarrheas, and inflammatory bowel disease.
HMF Pre + Probiotic is a low-level maintenance probiotic formula indicated for constipation, inflammatory bowel disease, dysbiosis, hemorrhoids, hypercholesterolemia, indigestion, and gastrointestinal infections, and for the enhancement of intestinal immunity. Product ideal for vegans.

All HMF probiotics contain NO dairy, casein, wheat, gluten, soy, corn, nuts or other common allergens. And are manufactured in a nut free facility.
Are HMF products shipped with an ice pack? No. But, after extensive product testing and new freeze drying technology performed by Genestra, 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 HMF products with an ice pack for these reasons:
1. Genestra has added in 50% more probiotic than what the label guarantees per bottle. For example, HMF Forte is 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 HMF 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 HMF 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.
