Bactisubtil is a probiotic (eubiotic) that provides a balance of intestinal microflora.
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.
Indications for use
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.

Due to the fact that bacteria are in spores, they remain active in an acidic environment when they enter the stomach, and therefore their development and therapeutic effect occurs directly in the intestine. Enzymes that are secreted by bacteria contribute to the breakdown of fats, carbohydrates and proteins, as a result of which rotting is prevented, and the symptoms of its manifestation are eliminated.
