Bacteria survive perfectly when frozen. Freezing it prevents any degradation which would occur if heated. Pharmax (maker of HLC and HMF Probiotics) is a pharmaceutical leader in probiotics and has developed special methods for producing and preserving healthy bacteria. They benefit thousands of our clients, and I am confident they will help you too!

Here is some more information on production shipping, shelf life, storage, survival, and clinical research of HLC Probiotics:

• Why do you recommend probiotics be taken after meals instead of on an empty stomach? (i.e. HLC Mindlinx, HLC High Potency)
• Why do the HLC Probiotics have the double top on the bottle—the rubber plug and a screw-on top? And once I open the bottle, do I need to keep both tops or can I discard one?
• HLC High Potency caps by Pharmax are human-derived; I am a little concerned about the possibility of passing on diseases. Can you provide a little detail on the process used and also any safety precautions used?
• I would like to know if the HLC High Potency Probiotic Caps by Pharmax 120 caps are the same product as the HLC Intensive Capsules, and only the bottle count is different.
• Is it safe to take HLC Probiotics by Pharmax during pregnancy?
• I'm just now learning about probiotics. I'm reading about HLC being from human derivatives. Can you tell me exactly what part of the human body this product comes from, and how it is collected?
• I've been taking HLC High Potency powder for a few months now, and I notice that I have a lot of gas; could that be from the powder?
• My son has Down syndrome, celiac disease and is allergic to many foods. Is the MindLinx product necessary/recommended? Are there are potentailly negative side effects?
• Will taking HLC Mindlinx allow me to safely consume gluten and casein which I am sensitive to?
• I think my child is allergic to glutamine in HLC Mindlinx? Is that possible?
• Is HLC Mindlinx 100% casein free, and not grown on dairy? Second, I heard L-Glutamine can become an excitotoxin if not converted to GABA, a process which most people on the autism spectrum could have trouble with, so I am concerned about giving Mindlinx to my son [who is] on the spectrum.
• What does the CUL label after each strain mean on the HLC probiotic bottles?
• October 2004 Improvements to HLC Probiotics
• I will be taking antibiotics for a few months. Should I start taking probiotics? How will it benefit me?
• I am interested in trying the probiotics you carry. I have an ileostomy. Do you know if they are effective in a person like me since I am without my entire colon?
