of reception. Only 1 time per day. You can take it with you (on vacation, to work, on the road). - This is TECHNOLOGICAL
production - thanks to the unique “LONG LIFE CUP” technology of preserving the strength of living beneficial bacteria that are part of the complex (in the cap), the activity of the product is ensured throughout the entire shelf life. - This is high QUALITY
in accordance with the GMP standard - a guarantee of the viability of bacteria until the end of the shelf life. Made in Spain. - The microflora of the human intestine is a very important factor that determines the functioning of the entire organism.
Qualitative and quantitative changes in the state of intestinal microflora, or its IMBALANCE(changes in the ratio of microorganisms - representatives of normal microflora and pathogenic bacteria) are a common cause of disruption of the digestive process, the functioning of the immune system, and atopic reactions. The balance of normal intestinal microflora is an important factor in the body's immune defense.
Disturbance of microbial balance in the intestine is otherwise called intestinal dysbiosis. There can be many reasons that disrupt the balance of intestinal microflora and lead to dysbiosis: stress, unbalanced poor nutrition, poor diet, diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, and insufficient consumption of prebiotics (dietary fiber and polysaccharides). Also, the development of dysbiosis syndrome is possible during travel, with changes in climatic conditions and diet.
Acipol® Active suspension is an innovative product of complex composition and action, containing:
- Probiotic Lactobacillus rhamnosus
Probiotic Bifidobacterium longum
- Prebiotic inulin
- Mineral zinc.
The action of Acipol® Active is due to the properties of the active components included in the composition, which enhance and complement each other’s action (according to scientific data):
- Lactobacillus (Lactobacillus rhamnosus)
According to the results of clinical studies of the use of Lactobacillus, it was shown:
- reducing the risk of developing microflora imbalance, including after taking drugs and agents that cause unfavorable changes in the qualitative or quantitative composition of the microbiocenosis of the gastrointestinal tract; against the background of stress and errors in diet;
reduction in the frequency of colds;
- increase in nonspecific resistance of the body.
What are the benefits of Lactobacillus (Lactobacillus rhamnosus)?
- produce metabolites that selectively suppress the growth of pathogenic microflora;
- have an immunomodulatory effect.
INTERESTING:
one study showed a significant reduction in body weight and fat mass when taking Lactobacillus rhamnosus and a prebiotic.
Lactobacilli promote the formation of lactic acid, and the acidic environment created in this way has a beneficial effect on the development of bifidobacteria, which are also present in the Acipol® Active suspension;
According to the results of clinical studies of the use of Bifidobacteria, it was shown:
- contribute to the normalization of the processes of enzymatic digestion of food, peristalsis and evacuation of intestinal contents;
along with other representatives of the normal intestinal flora, they take an active part in digestion and absorption.
What are the benefits of Bifidobacterium longum?
The presence of a sufficient amount of bifidobacteria in the intestine and the normal state (BALANCE) of the intestinal microflora contributes to the synthesis of vitamins in the intestine, better absorption of food components and optimization of metabolic processes in the body.
A deficiency of bifidobacteria in the intestine can lead to gastrointestinal dysfunction.
Bifidobacteria support normal processes of parietal digestion in the intestine.
It is the complexes containing lactobacilli and bifidobacteria (including Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Bifidobacterium longum), according to a number of studies, that are characterized by good tolerability, a favorable safety profile, and the ability to reduce the risk of developing functional disorders of the gastrointestinal tract. An important property of the probiotics Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Bifidobacterium longum is their ability to attach to the intestinal epithelium, thereby ensuring and strengthening its barrier functions, as well as supporting immunity.
Inulin is a prebiotic found in many plants. Serves as a food basis for the growth and reproduction of representatives of normal intestinal microflora (probiotics). Inulin not only promotes the growth and reproduction of its own beneficial intestinal microflora, but also stimulates intestinal motor activity, peristalsis, and optimization of the digestion process.
Clinical studies have shown that inulin stimulates the growth and activity of bifidobacteria and lactobacilli, which helps maintain the normal composition of the microbiota. One of the main features of the substance is that it enters the intestines almost unchanged, where it becomes a breeding ground for bifidobacteria and lactobacilli.
Inulin affects lipid metabolism, which helps reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases and diabetes.
It is part of the main enzymes and participates in various biochemical reactions; in the processes of synthesis and breakdown of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, nucleic acids, in the stabilization of cell membranes, has immunomodulatory properties, and is necessary for repair (healing) processes.
Application area
Acipol® Active suspension is recommended as a biologically active food supplement - an additional source of probiotic microorganisms (lactobacteria and bifidobacteria), zinc, and inulin.
The ingredients of Acipol® Active comprehensively help restore the balance of intestinal microflora, strengthen the immune system, and accelerate the body’s adaptation processes.
The complex can be used on the recommendation of a doctor in cases of imbalance in the intestinal microflora associated with the use of drugs that suppress one’s own normal microflora (including antibiotics), with a change in climate, usual diet, manifestations of atopic reactions, and during seasonal surges of colds.
