Biobacton-K is a biologically active food additive (BAA), a source of probiotic microorganisms (acidophilic lactobacilli) and an additional source of ascorbic acid.
Release form and composition
The dosage form of the bioadditives Biobacton-K is a lyophilisate (powder) for oral administration (in vials of 0.5 g, in a package of 4 or 10 vials).
1000 mg of the drug contains:
- active ingredients: lactobacillus acidophilus (lactobacillus acidophilus) - 2 x 10 8 CFU, ascorbic acid - 10 mg;
- excipients: gelatose and sucrose.
Pharmacological properties
The drug is a combination of a probiotic (acidophilic lactobacilli) and a prebiotic (ascorbic acid). Ascorbic acid activates the growth and vital activity of microorganisms that are part of the bioadditive Biobacton-K. Acidophilic lactobacilli are resistant to gastric juice, which has high acidity. In the process of their vital activity, they secrete acidophilus, lactic acid and some other substances that stimulate the growth of normal intestinal microflora. Microorganisms have a high growth rate, which allows them to actively colonize the intestines.
Biobactone-K is available in the form of a lyophilisate for oral administration, which ensures the formation of a sucrose-gelatinous membrane around the cell wall of each bacterium, which protects cells from damage. In the process of lyophilization, the protein structure is preserved, therefore, when water is added to the bottle, acidophilic bacteria “come to life” and begin to multiply.
Biobacton-K is prescribed not only after a course of antibiotic treatment, but also directly while taking antibacterial drugs. This is due to the resistance of dietary supplements to 18 of the 21 most commonly used antibiotics.
The drug is characterized by high antagonistic activity against coagulase-positive staphylococci, enteropathogenic Escherichia coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Proteus and other pathogenic microorganisms. Its bactericidal properties are associated with the presence in the composition of specific substances that have an antibacterial effect, the effect of which is enhanced in the presence of lactic acid.
