Correction of intestinal microflora synbiotic Maxilac

Abstract

The article provides a brief literature review on the role of intestinal microflora and the possibilities of its correction. As a result of using modern molecular genetic research methods, more than 50 genera and more than 500 species of differing types of bacteria populating the gastrointestinal tract have been identified. The composition of the intestinal microflora is individual, is formed from the moment of birth, depends on genetic factors and is determined by the conditions of existence. The intestinal microflora provides a protective function, antitoxic effect, maintains an optimal level of metabolic and enzymatic processes, participates in local and general immune reactions. Environmental degradation, stress, uncontrolled use of drugs, malnutrition leads to disruption of the qualitative and quantitative composition of the intestinal microflora - dysbiosis. Probiotics, prebiotics and synbiotic are used to treat intestinal dysbiosis. Probiotic strains most effectively act as part of synbiotic, representing a combination of probiotic with prebiotic. One of the long-used and well-proven synbiotic in clinical practice is Maxilac.
