Multilac – action
Properties of Multilac result directly from its composition. It is a synbiotic that contains freeze-dried probiotic bacteria (as many as 9 different strains) and fructo-oligosaccharides. Multilac works by maintaining and restoring normal bacterial microflora. In addition, it helps to reduce the multiplication of harmful microorganisms.
By using Multilac, we will shorten the duration of diarrhea that results from the use of antibiotics and at the same time reduce the risk of its occurrence. The bacterial strains used in the preparation have greater resistance to the action of gastric juice, bile and digestive enzymes, thanks to the encapsulation technique used. This makes probiotic bacteria live longer and maintain their biological activity. On the other hand, the fructooligosaccharides found in Multilac stimulate the development of normal intestinal microflora.
