Pharmacological indications:

• Intestini Forte normalizes the intestinal microbiota: it maintains and regulates the physiological balance of the intestinal microbiota (microbiocenosis) and ensures its proper functioning. The therapeutic effect is determined by bifido- and lactobacilli, which have an antagonistic action against a wide range of pathogenic microorganisms in the intestines. The lactic acid bacteria in Intestini Forte are resistant to stomach pH. They produce lactic acid and small amounts of acetic acid and propionic acid. The acidic environment created in the intestines creates unfavorable conditions for the growth of pathogenic and opportunistic pathogenic microorganisms. Lactic acid bacteria are involved in the absorption of monosaccharides, metabolism of bile acids, stabilize the membranes of intestinal epithelial cell membranes, regulate electrolyte absorption, and synthesize vitamins (vitamins B1, B2, B6, B12, K, E, PP, ascorbic acid, biotin), creating favorable conditions for the absorption of iron, calcium, and vitamin D.

Inulin is a plant-based polysaccharide, which, through partial enzymatic hydrolysis in the stomach, forms fructooligosaccharides. These provide an ideal nutritional environment for the growth of bifido- and lactobacilli (prebiotic). Inulin has prokinetic, detoxifying, and anti-cholesterol effects.
