Or the "Good Stuff" as our kids call it. It’s what our families take EVERYDAY to prevent illness and supercharge our immune systems! "The benefits of probiotics are so far reaching it's mind boggling...If I could only get people to take one supplement a day, it would be a probiotic." ~ Allison Tannis, MSc, RHN, Nutritionist and Author of Probiotic Rescue HMF Probiotics are healthy bugs in a bottle. We know it sounds kind of funny. Why would we give our children bugs everyday? Not all bugs are bad.  These bugs are part of the human micro flora (HMF) and are actually lifesavers.   Healthy gut bugs create a protective layer over the lining of your child’s digestive system. As Natasha Campbell-McBride, MD describes in her book the Gut and Psychology Syndrome, this protective layer is akin to ground cover or grass.  If disrupted, the soil beneath it erodes. Without this protective lining, your child’s gut wall is hung out to dry, allowing intruders access into her body. These healthy bugs not only defend your child from intruders, but also nourish your child’s body by digesting protein, fermenting carbohydrates, and breaking down fat and fiber.

Without enough healthy bugs, your child is prone to invasion and malnourishment.†     “It is a symbiotic relationship, where neither party can live without the other.  Let me repeat this:  we, humans, cannot live without these tiny micro-organisms.” ~ Natasha Campbell-McBride, MD from the Gut and Psychology Syndrome   That’s why we’re SO glad we found HMF probiotics, safe and effective for everyone in your family to use – from your precious 2 day old newborn to Great Grandma Betty. Even pregnant women or nursing moms can take HMF probiotics safely without having to worry about any nasty side effects! HMF Probiotics are non-pathogenic (not capable of inducing disease) even in immune compromised individuals.

Not all probiotics are created equal!  Why do we choose HMF probiotics for our families?   1. HMF Probiotics are proven in human trials to proliferate in the GI tract and attach themselves to the intestinal epithelial cells (colonize the bowel). "Probiotic benefits are most often dependent on the ability of the organism to colonize the bowel. This usually requires the presence of receptors on the bacterial cell wall that permit attachment to the gastrointestinal epithelium.  Most strains do not have such receptors."[1] HMF probiotics do.   2. HMF Probiotics are part of our normal human digestive tract flora (human derived). "Successful probiotics must be of human origin and have some demonstrable health promoting benefits proven by clinical studies."[1] HMF probiotics are and do.     3. HMF Probiotics are resistant to stomach acidity and bile acids when taken with food."Successful probiotics are capable of resisting insults [including gastric acid]." [1] HMF probiotics are.     4. HMF Probiotics are also laboratory tested to confirm potency and purity.   5. HMF Probiotics have prolonged stability and shelf life with a guaranteed quantity of microorganisms available at date of expiration (NOT date of packaging).

Probiotics used to be available to us through food that was grown in pure nutrient-rich soil followed and then fermented. Some of you eat fermented food daily - good for you! For the rest of us, we need to supplement with probiotics for an easy source of the beneficial bacteria found in fermented foods. These healthy bugs not only defend your child from intruders, but also nourish your child’s body by digesting protein, fermenting carbohydrates, and breaking down fat and fiber. Without enough healthy bugs, your child is prone to invasion and malnourishment.† Armor up with probiotics daily.
