Description of pharmacological action:
Linex normalizes intestinal microflora.
One capsule of Linex contains at least 1, 2·107 live lyophilized lactic acid bacteria: Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium infantis, Enterococcus faecium. Live lactic acid bacteria are a normal part of the natural intestinal microflora and are already contained in the digestive tract of a newborn baby. These bacteria are of great biochemical importance for the human body:
- lactose fermentation shifts the pH factor to the acidic side. The acidic environment inhibits the growth of pathogenic and conditionally pathogenic bacteria and ensures optimal action of digestive enzymes
- participate in the synthesis of vitamins B, K, ascorbic acid, thereby increasing the body's resistance to adverse environmental factors
- participate in the metabolism of bile pigments and bile acids
- synthesize substances with antibacterial activity
- increase the immune reactivity of the body.
