HLC High Potency Powder

HLC High Potency Powder | Pharmax
The HLC (Human Lactic Commensals) range of probiotics have been developed within the Pharmax alliance and have been proven in both human clinical trials and by practitioner usage for over 10 years in Europe. In many countries in Europe, they are the market leading probiotic nutriceutical used by professional healthcarers.

The role of probiotics in human physiology is both varied and of fundamental importance. However, part of the reason why their full benefits are not always achieved in practice is that the microorganisms do not reach the G.I. tract in either sufficient numbers or with sufficient activity to be effective. Moreover, many bacterial isolates used as probiotic organisms are poor colonizers of the G.I. tract, quickly passing straight through and thereby eliciting only a transitory effect.


Hence, for a probiotic to be effective, there are four criteria of primary importance that must be delivered:

1. Proven product shelf stability, ensuring that the probiotic organisms reach the user at the "correct" potency
2. Ability of the selected cultures to survive gastric juices/acidity
3. Ability of the cultures to attach to human epithelial tissue

Proven in clinical trials
HLC – Delivering a quality product with shelf stability and quality assurance.

The organisms, Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidum, as used in the HLC range are fragile organisms, sensitive to both temperature and moisture. As temperature increases from 40°F, there is an almost exponential drop in viable numbers with time and this is exacerbated by the presence of moisture.

It is for this reason that many probiotic products containing L. acidophilus and Bifidobacteria have failed in independent surveys to deliver label specifications of viable bacterial numbers to the end user. By addition of microbial overage at the time of manufacture combined with appropriate packaging and storage conditions, Pharmax ensures that all products reach the customer at above-label specification. Independent analysis of each batch (available to customers) proves the point.

The HLC probiotics have:

• Virtually indefinite shelf life if kept frozen
• Full 12 - 18 months shelf life if kept refrigerated
• Over 3 months shelf life at room temperature and still remain above the label specification!

This quality assurance promise has resulted in the HLC range being given top placing of all products analysed for meeting specification and value for money in two recent independent European probiotic surveys.
