HLC MindLinx™ from Pharmax LLC   Optimized Probiotic for Autism / ADHD Dosage: 1 gram (1/4 tsp.) Size: 60 grams powder Category: Pharmax Probiotics   Product Number: PH-PB20-60 Product Code: PH-PB20-60 HLC MindLinx - The first probiotic specifically developed for autism and ADHD   Some Interesting Facts: Up to 50% of autistic and ADHD sufferers co-present with intestinal symptoms. Proven intestinal pathology alongside autism and ADHD includes leaky gut, inflammation, and overt colitis. This gut pathology is related to sensitivity to certain foods especially gluten-containing grains and dairy products. Intestinal symptoms and autism / ADHD severity decrease when exclusion dairy and wheat diets are introduced. 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 problem 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 Pharmax has developed HLC MindLinx - a completely new type of probiotic that combines the original HLC high potency product with two new strains that can break down these damaging exorphins in the gut - before they can be absorbed! HLC MindLinx contains specifically selected strains of Lactobacillus crispatus (CLT221) and Lactobacillus rhamnosus (CLT341).  These are strains that are proven to degrade wheat and dairy exorphins [Peptic digestion of gluten results in the production of substances having opiate-like activity. These substances have been termed exorphins.] and to attach to, and colonize, intestinal epithelial cells (Figs 1 & 2). HLC MindLinx has been shown to degrade dietary exorphins in human subjects (Fig 3). HLC MindLinx contains the original HLC High Potency specification. HLC MindLinx provides a total specification of 12 billion cfus per day.   Figure 1: Breakdown of milk B-caseomorphin-7 by selected HLC lactic acid bacteria   Figure 2: Breakdown of wheat exorphin-A5 by selected HLC lactic acid bacteria   Figure 3: Effect of 21 days supplementation of HLC MindLinx 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. Suggested Usage: Take 1/4 teaspoon (1 gram) of powder twice daily with meals. Other Label Information:  Keep out of reach of children.   SUPPLEMENT FACTS Serving Size: 1/4 tsp.
