Product Notes:
HMF Child Probiotic strains are not grown from dairy or animal strains like so many others are: rather, they're Human Micro Flora (derived from people), which means the strains are better able to tolerate our stomach acid, and have been proven to be able to stick to the walls of the gastrointestinal tracts better than other types.
This formula comes in a sweetened chewable tablet infused with an appealing, natural blackcurrant flavour "to make the medicine go down."
When there aren't enough 'friendly' bacteria of the right types in our gastrointestinal tracts, we may not digest our food well or absorb as many nutrients as we need to stave off health problems, and can become subject to digestive disorders such as bloating, gas, or constipation, or get more colds, flus or fungal infections than we might otherwise. A probiotic supplement which provides different groups of living bacteria to populate the intestines can rectify that.
Product packaging may vary from the one shown.
