HLC High Potency Powder is a unique combination of four strains of proprietary, human-sourced probiotics and fructooligosaccharides (FOS) that helps to promote gastrointestinal health in adults.* In a randomized, placebo-controlled trial involving 22 adults, daily supplementation with a probiotic containing Lactobacillus acidophilus supported a healthy microflora balance.* Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria, the most commonly used probiotics, help colonize the intestines and mediate the permeability of epithelial cells.* After they are fermented by microbes in the colon, prebiotics – including FOS – support the growth of beneficial bacteria in the colon and further maintain and support the barrier function of intestinal epithelial cells*. Their fermentation can result in the production of short-chain fatty acids, including butyrate, the preferred energy source of colon cells.*

• Provides 10 billion CFU per day of two strains of Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium bifidum and Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis
• Includes 600 mg of fructooligosaccharides per serving
