Dietary supplement – source of bifidobacteria and lactobacilli

Properties

Dietary supplement to food.

Probiotic microorganisms are non-pathogenic, non-toxigenic microorganisms that enter the human intestine with food, have a beneficial effect on the human body and normalize the composition and biological activity of the digestive tract microflora: mainly microorganisms of the genera Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus, Propionibacterium, Lactococcus.

Bifidobacteria preserve and improve the physiological balance of the intestinal microflora and restore the deficiency of bifidobacteria; exhibit antagonistic activity against a wide range of pathogenic and opportunistic microorganisms; neutralize toxic metabolic products; promote the absorption of minerals (including iron), proteins, carbohydrates; possess vitamin-forming activity, in particular of group B; prevent the formation of protracted forms of intestinal infections; increase the non-specific resistance of the body.

Lactobacilli are an important component of the normal microflora of the digestive and genital tract of mammals. They possess diverse biological properties and actively participate in metabolic and regulatory processes. They exhibit pronounced antagonistic activity against a wide range of aerobic and facultative anaerobic gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, as well as some obligate anaerobic microorganisms. This activity is most pronounced in representatives of the species Lactobacillus acidophilus, L. plantarum, L. casei, L. fermentii, L. buchneri.

Bacteria of the probiotic strain Lactobacillus reuteri exhibit specific anti-Helicobacter activity. The peculiarity of these lactobacilli is that they recognize the surface receptors of the Helicobacter pylori cell wall and bind to it. So-called co-aggregates are formed, which are naturally excreted from the body through the gastrointestinal tract. As a result, the content of H. pylori in the body decreases, which helps to reduce the risk of stomach and duodenal diseases.

Lactobacilli and bifidobacteria are used in dietary supplements both separately and in combination.

Lactobacilli and bifidobacteria, interacting synergistically, maintain and regulate the physiological balance of the intestinal microflora, increasing the resistance of the intestinal mucosa to pathogenic microorganisms; inhibit the translocation of pathogenic bacteria in the colon, possess antagonistic activity against many pathogenic and opportunistic microorganisms, and normalize immunity indicators when it is suppressed.

A combination of lactobacilli and bifidobacteria can be used in dietary supplements also containing vitamins A, E, C.

Scope of Application
