Lactobacillus acidophilus — is a type of bacteria living in our intestine. Lactobacillus help to lower the level of cholesterol, relieve symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (abdominal pain, abdominal distention and meteorism). These bacteria help in treatment and prevention of sexually transmitted infections (vaginosis and vulvovaginal candidiasis). Lactobacilli as a rule are fairly common bacteria in the vagina. They produce lactic acid, which prevents the growth of other harmful bacteria. Lactobacilli help to get rid of excess weight, prevent and relieve symptoms of cold. Lactobacillus acidophilus can stimulate the immune system, thus reducing the risk of viral infections. Lactobacilli prevent and relieve symptoms of allergy
Lactobacillus rhamnosus — is a type of gram-positive, facultative anaerobic lactobacillus being a part of normal intestinal microflora. The advantages for health given by Lactobacillus rhamnosus are as follows: helps to lose weight and fight against obesity; possesses anti-inflammatory properties; lowers the blood cholesterol level and also helps to reduce liver fat content; has the antidiabetic effect and increases insulin sensitivity; protects against the effect of alcohol on the liver; reduces the risk of the development of gastrointestinal infections; reduces the intensity of diarrhea in cases of viral infections and the symptoms of gastroenteritis; promotes ulcer healing; is useful for the oral cavity; reduces the level of bacteria causing tooth decay; improves immunity
Bifidobacterium bifidum — is a type of gram-positive anaerobic bacteria being classified among bifidobacterial species. Bifidobacterium bifidum is the antagonists of a wide range of pathogens (Shigella, Salmonella, Staphylococcus aureus, etc.) and conventional pathogens. The antitoxic effect of Bifidobacterium bifidum is ensured by rapid population of the intestine, restoration of normal intestinal microflora, which prevents penetration of toxins into the internal milieu. Bifidobacteria in high concentrations activate parietal digestion in the intestine, synthesis of vitamins and amino acids, strengthen intestinal function and the body’s immune defense. Bifidobacterium bifidum stimulates intestinal motility, thus accelerating the intestinal transit
Bifidobacterium longum — promotes inhibition of the growth of harmful bacteria, reduces the incidence of constipations and prevents development of diarrhea, reduces the inflammatory bowel disease, normalizes the blood cholesterol level and reduces the incidence of some types of allergic manifestations. It strengthens immunity
Bifidobacterium infantis — is the type of bacteria populating the child’s intestine among the first. These bacteria take part in the cleavage of carbohydrates. These Bifidobacteria also produce acetic acid, which exerts bactericidal effect and inhibits the growth of pathogenic strains of microorganisms in the large intestine
Bifidobacterium lactis — are the best studied Bifidobacteria. They protect intestine against bacterial pathogens, make it possible for Bifidobacteria to pass through all segments of the gastrointestinal tract remaining viable and active. The intake of probiotic products and supplements influences on the balance of intestinal microflora reducing the number of separate potentially pathogenic bacteria. The intake of Bifidobacteria can relieve symptoms of some intestinal diseases
Lactulose — s the milk sugar being the nutrient medium for normal microflora and the “biological capsule” for microflora, which makes it possible to deliver bacteria to the intestine unaltered and in sufficient number
