Balanced flora, pure health!

Did you know that we have billions of bacteria in our digestive tract? The intestinal flora in our digestive tract is composed of different bacteria species that colonise the intestinal mucosa, living in symbiosis with our organism.

It is important to have a balanced intestinal flora, because good bacteria play numerous roles. Good bacteria ensure healthy intestinal transit, prevent the overgrowth of already existing bad bacteria, stimulate the synthesis and absorption of beneficial substances such as vitamins K and B-group vitamins and, last but not least, stimulate the immune system.

During the lifetime, our intestinal flora changes according to many factors. Stress, lifestyle, diet, hygiene and especially antibiotic treatments can affect intestinal flora in a long term.

Many times it happens to take a treatment with antibiotic at the recommendation of the prescribing physician. When fighting infections, antibiotics destroy bad bacteria getting the victory, but as a result of the victorious fight of the antibiotics, good bacteria are also affected and our intestinal flora is unbalanced. A single oral antibiotic treatment destroys the composition and diversity of intestinal flora for months and even up to one year in many cases. The intestinal flora imbalance involves symptoms such as bloating, abdominal discomfort, growling stomach and even diarrhea. The antibiotic-associated diarrhea appears up to about 25% of people who are being treated with antibiotics.

A solution for restoring the intestinal flora affected by antibiotics and reducing the occurrence of diarrhea associated with antibiotic treatment, would be to associate a probiotic in order to balance the created imbalance.

Hepiflor is a probiotic which contains 3 carefully selected probiotic strains, some of the most studied species from a medical point of view with beneficial roles in recovering the intestinal flora.

When it comes to probiotics, it is important to contain as many bacteria as possible because in this case they can reach the intestine in larger number.

Hepiflor in capsules form is a probiotic with a very large number of beneficial bacteria - 10 billion bacteria. These beneficial bacteria from Hepiflor are not only present in very large number, but also they have high viability, when passing through the stomach they resist to gastric acidity and bile salts, therefore reaching in a very large number the intestine, where they exert their action.

Hepiflor capsules contain 10 capsules per pack and the product can be purchased from any pharmacy.
