Non-pathogenic live bacteria Bacillus cereus IP 5832, getting into the gastrointestinal tract, release substances of a wide spectrum of antibacterial action, suppressing the development of pathogenic and opportunistic intestinal microflora. Bacteria have antidiarrheal and antimicrobial effects and restore normal intestinal microflora. The spores of the bacteria contained in the Bactisubtil preparation show resistance to the action of gastric juice and germinate into vegetative forms of bacteria directly in the intestine.

The culture of bacteria Bacillus cereus contained in Bactisubtil (in the form of spores) maintains the balance of the intestinal flora, preventing the process of putrefaction in the intestine.
