Discover the impact of the clinically studied probiotic strain, Lactobacillus Plantarum (HKHM Plantadophilus), and the benefits of good gut health on stress, cravings, immune function, and more.
Our Best-Selling Probiotic: Plantadophilus and the Benefits of Good Gut Health
- Gentle, single-strain, no prebiotics (prebiotics can lead to bloating and gas)
- Gently shifts the pH in the gut (and microbiome) to one in which beneficial bacteria thrive, and nudges out the unfavorable bacteria
- Unfavorable bacteria in the gut microbiome can make us crave sweets, so using Plantadophilus over time can impact the palate and help to reduce sugar cravings
- Survives the acidity of the stomach without requiring any additives or capsule coating
- Is one of the few probiotic strains identified to produce an essential, gut-derived nutrient, called lactoferrin, assisting in proper immune function and iron metabolism
- Studies show it is an ideal strain for decreasing histamine release along the lining of the gut
Stress and the Benefits of Good Gut Health
You’ve probably heard of the gut-brain connection—that your gut and brain are constantly talking behind the scenes. But here’s the wild part: your gut bacteria can actually help calm your stress response.
A fascinating randomized double-blind controlled study found that taking Lactobacillus plantarum (the strain that is in our HKHM Plantadophilus) reduced cortisol levels, the “stress hormone,” in students’ saliva when facing exam-induced anxiety.
Give your and your child’s nervous system the support it needs this winter. Think…
- Exams and end-of-semester deadlines
- Holiday stress, travel, and family logistics
- Seasonal changes — less sunlight, lower mood, disrupted sleep
Lactobacillus Plantarum: A Clinically Studied Strain
When Deb (our integrative pharmacist) and I are vetting supplements, we always study the literature before recommending anything.
That’s what makes us different… No fads or gimmicks. Just science-backed tools that lay the foundation for optimal health (for both kids and adults!).
Studies like the one above informed our HKHM Plantadophilus. It is a single-strain probiotic of Lactobacillus plantarum (the same clinically studied strain that reduces cortisol levels).
