HLC-Mind-Linx

This link is due to gluten and dairy proteins being broken down in the gut into peptides with opiate properties similar to endorphins and opiate drugs.

These dietary 'Exorphins' are absorbed from the gut and reach the brain where they cause symptoms associated with autism.

Up until now, the only recourse has been to exclude these exorphin-generating foods from the diet. However, the problems is that it is not only gluten-containing and dairy foods that generate exorphins—meat and even some vegetables also generate exorphins.

This is why the manufacturer has developed HLCMind-Linx—a completely new type of probiotic that combines the original HLC-High Potency product with tow new strains that can break down these damaging exorphins in the gut...before they can be absorbed!

More Info

HLCMind-Linx contains specifically selected strains of Lactobacillus crispatus (CLT221) and Lactobacillus rhamnosus (CLT341). These are strains that are proven to degrade wheat and dairy exorphins and to attach to, and colonize intestinal epithelial cells (Figures 1 & 2).

Figure 2: Breakdown of wheat exorphin-A5 by selected HLC lactic acid bacteria

HLC MindLinx has been shown to degrade dietary exorphins in human subjects (Figures 3).

Figure 3: Effect of 21 days supplementations of HLCMindLinx on urinary excretion of opioid peptide exorphin B5 in six normal adult subjects.>

Subjects were provided with a meal of bread and milk and urinary exorphin measured over the next 10 hours. Subjects took MindLinx for 21 days before being offered the same meal of bread and milk. The difference in the 'before' and 'after' urinary exorphin profiles are clear.

HLC MindLinx contains the original HLC-High Potency specification.

HLC MindLinx provides a total specification of 12 billion cfu's per day.

Note: For further detailed reading, see Technical Monograph entitled 'Intestinal Effects on Autism and ADHD—Potential for a Novel Probiotic Approach'.

Who would benefit?

Any child or adult with autism or ADHD would benefit from HLC MindLinx, especially those with intestinal symptoms of any severity.

Any individual with intolerance to gluten or dairy would derive benefit from HLC-MindLinx.
