Pharmacological properties
The drug Lactimac Forte combines a perfectly balanced mixture of probiotics and prebiotics, aimed at restoring healthy microflora in the intestines and strengthening immunity.
Lactimac bacteria, which include lactic acid (lacto- and bifido-) microorganisms, are present in the normal microflora of the human intestine, playing a key role in maintaining resistance to pathogenic factors and stimulating the immune system. They also perform important functions such as the formation of vitamins, detoxification and improving digestion.
Lactic acid bacteria have antimicrobial activity against a variety of microorganisms, including staphylococci, protea, enteropathogenic Escherichia coli, and Candida fungi. This activity is associated with their ability to produce various substances, such as lactic acid, lactocins, hydrogen peroxide, acetic and propylene acids, and lysozyme.
Lactic acid bacteria contribute to a decrease in the pH level in the intestine, which prevents the growth and reproduction of both pathogenic and conditionally pathogenic microflora. Lactobacteria act as a barrier, preventing the penetration of sensitizing substances, such as endotoxins, bacterial and food allergens, from the intestine.
Due to the presence of Saccharomyces boulardii, Lactimac Forte has increased protective and restorative properties compared to normal intestinal microflora.
The main mechanism of action of Lactimax Forte is direct antagonism, manifested through antimicrobial action due to the ability of Saccharomyces boulardii to inhibit the reproduction of pathogenic and conditionally pathogenic microorganisms and fungi that disrupt the balance of intestinal microflora, such as:
- Clostridium difficile;
- Clostridium pneumoniae;
- Staphylococcus aureus;
- Pseudomonas aeruginosa;
- Candida krusei;
- Candida pseudotropica;
- Candida albicans;
- Salmonella typhi;
- Salmonella enteritidis;
- Escherichia coli;
- Shigella dysenteriae;
- Shigella flexneri;
- Klebsiella, Proteus;
- Vibrio cholerae;
- Entamoeba hystolitica, Lambliae;
- Enterovirus, Rotavirus.
One of the important features of Lactimac is its specially selected composition, which ensures stable effectiveness when used with antibiotics and antifungal agents. This allows Lactimac Forte to be safely taken together with such drugs.
This property is due to the fact that Saccharomyces boulardii has genetic resistance to antibiotics, and probiotic bacteria are resistant to antifungal drugs. Therefore, to restore the microflora and protect the normal composition of the digestive tract while taking such drugs, it is recommended to use Lactimak Forte.
The bacteria contained in the dietary supplement are actively involved in various metabolic processes, including the processing of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, nucleic acids and bile acids. They also contribute to the activation of the immune system by stimulating the synthesis of immunoglobulins, interferons and cytokines. It is important to note that these bacteria help to form local immunity, accelerate the regeneration of mucous membranes and reduce the sensitivity of the intestinal epithelium to pathogenic microorganisms.
Bacteria also act as a natural biosorbent, neutralizing toxins, adsorbing harmful substances and removing them from the body. This helps reduce excessive toxic load and the risk of allergic reactions in the body.
Oligosaccharides belong to the group of prebiotics and are the best source of nutrition for the development of beneficial bacteria in the intestines. Thus, they contribute to improving the colonization of the intestines with beneficial probiotic microorganisms.
