The probiotic and what you need to know about it

The probiotic allows to preserve the intestinal flora, which is particularly important for human health

Probiotics are living microorganisms that in the stomach prevent the multiplication of bacteria dangerous to health and thus contribute to the general well-being of the user. The positive influence and benefits have been known for centuries, when man began to prepare fermented products, and even the ancient Romans recommended the consumption of cheese. Good bacteria are naturally present in the body and are ingested daily through the diet. But due to the modern lifestyle and the stress to which a person is exposed, as well as the consumption of fast and fried food, this is often not enough and probiotics are also recommended as a dietary supplement.

The probiotic allows to preserve the intestinal flora, which is particularly important for human health. In fact, the latest research shows that there are 10 times more bacteria in a person than there are own cells, which means that bacteria form a special organ responsible for the general state of health of a person. This special organ is called the microbiome and consists of all the bacteria and microorganisms in the human body, about 40 billion bacterial cells. Maintaining balance in the microbiome is key to maintaining the health of every person.

Probiotics are known to increase the number of healthy bacteria in the gut, thereby:
– helps with acute diarrhea caused by viruses or bacteria
– helps with travel diarrhea
– used two to three hours after antibiotic use
– regulates the PH value in the stomach,
– helps to calm nervous intestines and to regulate the stool,
- helps in the digestion of food,
- strengthens immunity.

In practice, probiotics prevent the multiplication of pathogenic bacteria in the gut and improve the colonization of the gut with beneficial probiotic bacteria.

Most of the time, there are several strains of good bacteria in one probiotic capsule, and in some cases that combination is supplemented with a prebiotic. For example under the brand Flonivin of the pharmaceutical company Galenika, there are four different probiotic products that, depending on the composition, can be used for children or adults, and the composition is adjusted according to the purpose of the product. That is, Saccharomyces boulardii, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium lactis, Bifidobacterium bifidum, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, and Bifidobacterium longum are found in the products. These strains carry the GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) designation, which is given by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to ingredients or products that are safe.

Out of the approximately 500 species of bacteria found in the intestines, only a few good bacteria have been selected that contribute to a healthy intestinal flora. Thus, the capsule with the bacteria is a supplement to the probiotics that are regularly ingested through the diet, through fermented products, such as cabbage and pickles, or dairy products such as kefir.

The products that you can find in our pharmacies also contain a prebiotic, which helps the development and multiplication of good bacteria from the probiotic in the stomach. Here, together with the other good bacteria, they are responsible for the synthesis of vitamins and minerals, the general immunity, but they also affect the mental state and behavior of the person. This is in accordance with the motto "food is medicine", that is, with a healthy diet, support is given to healthy bacteria, and thus to one's own health.

After almost eight decades of presence on the Macedonian market, the pharmaceutical company Galenika is already recognized by consumers as one of the domestic ones, whose high-quality products they trust and have established a habit of using. The company invests in the development and expansion of the product portfolio, striving to respond to the expectations and modern needs of consumers.
