Live microorganisms to benefit adult and children's intestinal health
HMF Powder is a combination of four human strains of proprietary probiotics that promotes intestinal health in adults and children. The intestinal microbiota, which contains more than 400 bacterial species, can be altered by antibiotic use, aging, and premature or caesarean births.1-3 The intestines are critical barriers that selectively allow absorption or promote the excretion of dangerous compounds, and their function depends on a healthy bacterial balance.1,4 The most commonly used probiotics are Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria, which are safe for both adults and children.4 They effectively colonize the intestines; however, once their ingestion ends, their counts decrease or disappear.1,4,5 Probiotics promote the presence of beneficial bacteria by competing with pathogens for colonization of the gastrointestinal tract.4 In addition to decreasing the survival of pathogenic bacteria by reducing the pH, probiotics reinforce the epithelial barrier.4 They control permeability by supporting tight junction integrity, and prevent pathogenic adherence to epithelial cells by increasing mucin release on intestinal surfaces.4 Prebiotics support the growth of bacteria already living in the colon, and enhance the growth and survival of supplemented probiotic strains.1

Yes. Genestra HMF Powder is identified as vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, and non-GMO. The packaging also states that it contains no artificial colours or flavours, providing several clearly stated dietary and formulation characteristics for customers reviewing suitability.
Genestra HMF Powder should be taken at least two to three hours before or after antibiotics. The recommended use is one heaped scoop mixed into water or milk twice daily with meals, unless a healthcare practitioner recommends a different schedule.
Genestra HMF Powder should not be used by anyone with an immune-compromised condition. Consult a healthcare practitioner before use if you have nausea, fever, vomiting, bloody diarrhea, or severe abdominal pain, and stop use if digestive symptoms worsen or persist beyond three days.
Genestra HMF Powder should be refrigerated below 8°C to maintain the probiotic cultures. The package also advises keeping it out of reach of children, using it only when the safety seal is intact, and notes that natural colour variations can occur.
Genestra HMF Powder comes as a 75 g powder. Each recommended serving uses one heaped scoop, or 1.25 g, mixed into water or milk and taken twice daily, so customers can measure the product using the provided scoop rather than capsules.
