Pharmacological properties
ProbioLog Forte is a probiotic that includes two types of microorganism strains as active ingredients - acidophilic lactobacilli (Lactobacillus acidophilus) and bifidobacteria (Bifidobacterium animalis subs.lactis), which are present in the intestinal microflora of every healthy organism and normalize intestinal permeability. The components of the drug can also stimulate the immune system. Regular use of dietary supplements ensures the maintenance of the natural balance of the intestinal microflora, helps to improve the functioning of the intestines, and also has a beneficial effect on the digestion process. Since the drug does not contain opportunistic pathogenic strains, its daily intake is safe for the body.
Strains of live probiotic bacteria are placed in an acid-resistant matrix using a special production process - microencapsulation technology. The acid-resistant matrix is a polysaccharide shell that transforms into an insoluble gel that is acid-resistant and reliably protects bacteria when passing through the stomach. As a result, the viability of the strains is preserved and maintained when they enter the small and large intestines. According to the results of in vitro studies, the survival rate of bifidobacteria and lactobacilli is 73%.
The capsules of the drug can be stored at room temperature, since they are enclosed in a vial, sealed with a special cap that prevents gas exchange with the surrounding air.
