Therapeutic Category

Dietary supplement for restoring stomach microflora

Properties

The Helinorm® dietary supplement is an innovative agent for combating Helicobacter pylori bacteria, the main cause of ulcers and gastritis.

Helicobacter pylori is a pathogenic bacterium that infects more than 50% of the world’s population*. Infection with Helicobacter pylori can lead to inflammation of the gastric and duodenal mucosa.

Many cases of gastric and duodenal ulcers, gastritis, duodenitis, and stomach cancer are etiologically linked to Helicobacter pylori infection.

As a result of many years of research, German scientists discovered a special strain of lactobacilli that has a specific anti-Helicobacter action. This strain is the active principle of Helinorm®.

The peculiarity of these lactobacilli is that they recognize the surface receptors of the Helicobacter pylori cell wall and bind to them. So-called co-aggregates are formed, which are naturally eliminated from the body through the gastrointestinal tract. As a result, the level of Helicobacter pylori in the body decreases, which helps reduce the risk of developing gastric and duodenal diseases.

Helinorm® is a metabiotic (contains not live bacteria but their metabolites, in this case, lactobacillus metabolites), therefore, upon entering the stomach, it begins to act immediately and contributes to

  • Reducing the amount of Helicobacter pylori in the stomach;
  • Reducing the risk of ulcers and gastritis;
  • Eliminating stomach discomfort and improving digestion;
  • Supporting the balance of the stomach microflora.
