HMF Metabolic has been specially formulated with a combination of five patented probiotic strains, which were studied in a recent randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in adults. The study results demonstrated that the probiotic strains in HMF Metabolic significantly improve quality of life, including overall well-being and health status. These strains have also been examined in several other preclinical and clinical studies for their health benefits, including their ability to promote a healthy gut flora composition. Emerging research demonstrates that diet and weight play an important role in the composition of the gut microflora, with the typical Western diet and larger body build being associated with a higher proportion of Firmicutes than Bacteroidetes. These changes in the composition of normal gut flora can impact gut function, including short-chain fatty acid production and energy metabolism. Available in a convenient once-daily capsule, HMF Metabolic is easily added to any lifestyle regimen to support overall health and optimal gut flora composition.
