Progressive HCP 70 High Potency Probiotic Details

Progressive HCP70 (Human Colonizing Probiotic) is a high potency probiotic that provides 70 billion active cells per 2 capsules at time of expiry. It features 6 human strains — three Lactobacillus and three Bifidobacterium — chosen to colonize the entire digestive tract, from the small intestine to the large intestine. The flora is cryoprotected for greater stability and supported by natural desiccants and vitamin C. Progressive recommends refrigerating HCP70 whenever possible. Available in 60 or 120 vegetable capsules from Progressive, a Canadian brand.

Quick Facts

Who HCP70 Is For

• Adults looking for a high potency, multi-strain probiotic
• People who want strains that colonize both the small and large intestine
• Anyone wanting support for intestinal health and immune function
• Those who want to support absorption of vitamins and minerals
• People looking for probiotic support for skin health

Who this product is NOT for:

• Anyone who needs a fully shelf-stable probiotic for travel — HCP70 should be refrigerated whenever possible
• People who want a low-dose, everyday maintenance probiotic
• Anyone who wants a one-capsule-a-day probiotic from the start — the full dose is 2 capsules daily

Vitamart's Take

HCP70 is a serious probiotic: 70 billion active cells, guaranteed at expiry rather than at manufacture, spread across six human strains that cover the whole length of the gut. Progressive cryoprotects the flora and adds natural desiccants to help it last, but still asks you to keep it in the fridge, which we'd recommend. Taking it after meals suits its acid-tolerant, non-enteric-coated design.

How HCP70 Compares

HCP70 vs. Perfect Probiotic 120 Billion

Progressive Perfect Probiotic 120 Billion Ultra Strength is also refrigerated, with 11 strains plus a prebiotic in a delayed release capsule. HCP70 uses 6 human strains at 70 billion per 2 capsules.

HCP70 vs. shelf-stable Perfect Probiotic 60 Billion

Perfect Probiotic 60 Billion Extra Strength is shelf stable, with 7 strains plus a prebiotic. Choose it if you can't refrigerate; choose HCP70 if you want human-strain flora and can keep it cold.

Not enteric coated

Some probiotics use an enteric coating. HCP70's strains are acid tolerant, so Progressive skips the coating and simply recommends taking it with food.

What Are Human Strain Probiotics?

• Human strain probiotics are bacteria originally isolated from the human digestive tract
• Lactobacilli (rhamnosus, acidophilus, salivarius) mainly colonize the small intestine
• Bifidobacteria (breve, bifidum, longum) are most prevalent in the large intestine
• Cryoprotection is a cold-temperature process that removes moisture to help keep live cells stable
• Potency "at time of expiry" means the cell count is guaranteed through the expiry date

Recommended Purpose

• Supports intestinal health
• Supports immune function
• Supports the absorption of vitamins and minerals
