Flora Defense is a synbiotic containing pure Saccharomyces boulardii yeast cultures and lactic acid bacteria Lactobacillus rhamnosus LR06 as well as a prebiotic (oligofructose).
Saccharomyces boulardi – exhibits natural resistance to antibiotics, with the exception of some quinolones and antifungal drugs. This yeast is not digested in the digestive tract. It shows anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial activity against numerous microbes (enterohemorrhagic E. coli, Clostridium difficile, Salmonella typhimurium, Yersinia enterocolitica, Candida albicans, Candida krusei, Candida pseudotropicalis).
Saccharomyces boulardii produces the protease-inactivating toxin A produced by Clostridium difficile.
Lactobacillus rhamnosus LR06 – through the production of lactic acid, it lowers the pH in the gut, thus inhibiting pathogenic microorganisms development. Lactobacillus rhamnosus has the ability to inhibit colonization of the dogs gastrointestinal membrane by Clostridium perfringens that reaches 80%. The Lactobacillus rhamnosus metabolites stimulate local as well as general body immunity. After the enrichment of diets in the above microbial strain they were found to increase insulin sensitivity of cellular receptors and promote more effective body weight loss, which indicates the possibility of using Lactobacillus rhamnosus during slimming. In addition, in recipients’ receiving the Lactobacillus rhamnosus in their diets a higher concentration of GABA has been demonstrated – a neurotransmitter mitigating mood disorders and decreasing the level anxiety.
The preparation can be used simultaneously with antibiotics.
