About HuMOLYTE
ACTIVE INGREDIENTS
2’-fucosyllactose (human milk oligosaccharide or HMO) + Electrolytes
How can HuMOLYTE™ help during chemotherapy?*
Dehydration and electrolyte loss that happen with diarrhea can often leave an individual feeling extremely tired. An injured gut can continue to leak electrolytes and make dehydration worse. The conventional sports drinks can only improve symptoms marginally unless the damaged cell lining in the GI tract is healed. HMOs are such “healers”. HMOs make the lining of the intestinal tract stronger while they increase mucin (thin lubricant layer) production by the intestinal cells. This essentially helps to keep these cells “glued” to each other, while our magnesium-rich electrolyte mix rehydrates the body. This means less fatigue, lower incidence of dehydration and much lesser need for needing IV.
Benefits of HuMOLYTE
Minimize the ill-effect of dehydration*
HuMOLYTE™ replaces the fluid and electrolyte deficit and can reduce the severity of dehydration and possibly avoid frequent trips to the infusion center for intravenous hydration. HuMOLYTE™ replaces magnesium and potassium giving you more time at home, and allows you to hydrate at your own convenience.
Replete all of the main electrolytes lost in diarrhea*
Our solution goes beyond the conventional oral rehydration solution (ORS) that only replaces sodium and potassium. Since magnesium loss can be significant in diarrhea, HuMOLYTE™ is superior in its formulation as it replaces magnesium lost athe GI tract and can help lessen fatigue, so you can get on with your life doing what you love.
Promote a healthy gut microbiome*
Medications such as chemotherapy, toxins such as alcohol, infections and inflammation damage the gut microbiome which can take a long time to recover. 2’-FL is a prebiotic that feeds the good bugs particularly Bifidobacteria, restoring the microbial symbiosis in the gut. A healthy microbiome is linked to significant health benefits.
Support immune function*
Medications and infections can suppress immune function for a long time. HMOs have been shown to stimulate immune function and can prevent recurrence of inflammatory conditions in children. 2-FL and Vitamin C in the HuMOLYTE™ mix can support a healthy immune system, which may allow you to fight infections better!
Minimize symptoms of leaky gut*
HMOs can help maintain the gut barrier function in response to injury by drugs, toxins and bugs. By keeping the gut cells intact, our formula can allow the electrolytes and water to stay inside your body. That means you stay rehydrated longer and feel stronger!

Exploring the Protective Power of HuMOLYTE Against GI Injury from Chemotherapy
Gastrointestinal (GI) injury is a common and often severe side effect of many chemotherapeutic agents. However, a recent study suggests that HuMOLYTE, a supplement combining 2'-fucosyllactose and electrolytes, may offer significant protection against this issue.
In the study Wistar rats, HuMOLYTE was administered in drinking water for five days prior to the introduction of the chemotherapeutic drug Irinotecan.
The results were compelling: rats that received HuMOLYTE displayed markedly preserved intestinal morphology and experienced significantly reduced inflammation compared to those who only had drinking water. Notably, these rats also suffered much less from diarrhea, a common and debilitating side effect of Irinotecan.
The protective benefits of HuMOLYTE extended beyond Irinotecan. Similar results were observed when the rats were treated with other chemotherapy drugs, including 5-fluorouracil, doxorubicin, and cisplatin. Across all cases, HuMOLYTE supplementation consistently led to better intestinal health and reduced GI distress.
These findings highlight the potential of HuMOLYTE as a valuable supplement for minimizing GI injury in patients undergoing chemotherapy. By preserving intestinal integrity and reducing inflammation, HuMOLYTE could improve quality of life for those facing the challenges of cancer treatment. As research continues, HuMOLYTE may become a key player in supportive care for chemotherapy patients.
Testimonials
"Before I began chemotherapy, I started to use Humolyte as directed. Fortunately, I didn't suffer from the common side effects like vomiting, diarrhea, or mouth sores. For anyone about to undergo chemotherapy, I strongly suggest considering Humolyte. It made a significant difference in my experience."
-Toni L, Breast Cancer Patient
"This development is a significant addition to the supportive care available for cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, enhancing their treatment and overall well-being."
-Dr. Sivakumar Reddy, Oncologist
