HPC

French to English Other Medical: Health Care nutrition of toddlers
Sentence is:

Nous montrons que la supplémentation d’un HPC avec LGG accélère le développement de la tolérance des PLV chez les nourrissons.

PLV is "protéines de lait de vache"
I figure LGG is Lactobacillus GG

Thanks for help!

I have the feeling that this acronym is not French.
SJLD May 25, 2012:
la supplémentation de X avec Y - logically means adding Y to X. It does indeed sound like a product being given to babies.
Answerers should not overlook the fact that there is the article "un" preceding HCP - it is therefore a masculine noun.

PC

PC is derived from HPC, which is from the Latin "hora post-cibum".
Not willing to masquerade as a Latin scholar, here is the reference.
"Dictionary of Medicine, French/English , pg. 408 by Svetolik P Djordjevic, second edition revised."
LGG refers to Lactobacillus rhamnosus, which is used as a probiotic.

I was trying to post a reference for "Lactobacillus rhamnosus" but could not get it to go through, so I am posting it here.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactobacillus_rhamnosus
Example sentence:

Administration of LGG one hour post meal, may aid in digestion of milk proteins.
