Immune Support Formula in a Great Tasting, Shelf-Stable Chewable Tablet • Provides 30 billion CFU per dose from a combination of five proprietary human-sourced probiotics, plus vitamins C and D • Reduces the risk of developing and the duration of upper respiratory tract illness in physically active adults • Once-daily chewable tablet available in a delicious natural blackcurrant flavor • No refrigeration necessary • Potency guaranteed through expiration HMF Immune combines proprietary human-sourced probiotics with vitamins C and D to provide targeted immune support. Each convenient, once-daily chewable tablet provides a blend of five research-backed probiotic strains from the Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium genera. As nearly 80% of the body’s immunologically active cells are located in the gut-associated lymphoid tissue, an important connection between the intestines and the immune system has been demonstrated.1 In addition to supporting gastrointestinal health, HMF Immune includes Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis (Bl-04), a strain that was demonstrated in a clinical trial to reduce the risk of developing and the duration of upper respiratory tract illness in physically active adults.2 It further provides Lactobacillus acidophilus (CUL-60 and CUL-21), Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis (CUL-34) and Bifidobacterium bifidum (CUL-20), which were demonstrated in a clinical trial to support upper respiratory tract health when combined with vitamin C. To help maintain immune function, HMF Immune contains vitamins C and D. Vitamin C supports the immune system by regulating lymphocyte proliferation, natural killer cell activity and immunoglobulin production, while vitamin D helps control T lymphocyte activation, cytokine release and phagocytosis in macrophages.4 Research demonstrates that vitamins C and D may be particularly effective at maintaining immune function in the respiratory tract.5,6 This convenient, shelf-stable format guarantees potency through expiration and may improve patient compliance.
