• Helps improve symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) such as bloating, satisfaction with bowel habits, and days with pain within 6 weeks^†

HMF^® Intensive provides a combination of probiotics clinically demonstrated to supplement the normal intestinal microbiota following antibiotic therapy and significantly reduce symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome in adults and children over 11 years. Clinical trials have found that supplementation with HMF® Intensive's probiotic formula supported gastrointestinal health and helped decreased the degree of microflora disruption associated with antibiotic intake.^1,2 Additionally, a clinical trial reported that daily supplementation with this probiotic formula for eight weeks significantly improved six measures of IBS symptoms (symptom severity score, abdominal pain, bloating, days with pain, satisfaction with bowel habits, and quality of life).³ Specifically, probiotic intake led to a 22% decrease in days with intestinal discomfort, 32% improvement in satisfaction with bowel habits, and 30% improvement in quality of life scores.³ When compared to placebo values, satisfaction with bowel habits and mean change in symptom severity score significantly improved after six weeks.³
