Bifidobacteria are recommended in the event of symptoms of gastrointestinal diseases caused by dysbacteriosis, a decline in the body's immune system, frequent illness.
The digestive process involves microorganisms that are part of the natural gut microflora. Bifidobacteria and lactobacilli have the most beneficial effect on the body. However, they are sensitive to external factors, especially affected by the use of antibiotics that destroy them.
The lack of beneficial bacteria or their insufficient amount contributes to the reproduction of opportunistic pathogens, which can lead to disease.
The normal intestinal microflora contributes to good health and the elimination of toxins. When the amount of beneficial bacteria is normal, the middle of the intestine has an acidic composition. In the case of opportunistic pathogenic microflora, the acidity decreases sharply and putrefaction and gas formation processes begin to be observed in the intestines.
The condition is known as dysbacteriosis and is the cause of bloated abdomen, pain, irregular defecation, exacerbation of chronic and allergic diseases.
Immunity also depends on the condition of the gut, as it produces some of the immune cells. In dysbacteriosis, the body becomes susceptible to colds.
Normal microflora can not always recover naturally. Sometimes it is beneficial to consume foods that contain bifidobacteria and lactobacilli, in other cases it is necessary to take them in the form of pharmaceutical products.
Bifidobacteria, which are in the pharmacy network, are a dry microbial mass, available in the form of powders, tablets, capsules, ampoules and vials.
Consumed as a dietary supplement, bifidobacteria limit opportunistic pathogens in the gut. Restore the balance in the microflora, help the functions of the gastrointestinal tract and activate the digestive process.
Bifidobacteria are recommended for the appearance of symptoms of gastrointestinal diseases caused by dysbacteriosis, for a decline in the body's defenses, frequent illness, for nosocomial infections in hospitals.
Indications for admission:
Lactobacilli should be avoided in lactase deficiency - in the absence of the enzyme that breaks down milk sugar, lactose.
Bifidobacteria and lactobacilli do not cause side effects. They are useful for both adults and children.
