Action

Saccharomyces boulardii shows natural resistance to antibiotics, with the exception of some quinolones and antifungal drugs. They produce a protease that inactivates toxin A produced by Clostridium difficile. Yeasts are not digested in the digestive tract. They have anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects (enterohemorrhagic E. coli, Clostridium diffcile, Salmonella typhimurium, Yersinia enterolitica, Candida pseudotropicalis, Candida albicans, Candida krusei).

Lactobacillus rhamnosus LR06 – lowers pH in the intestines, thereby inhibiting the development of pathogenic microorganisms. The ability of Lactobacillus rhamnosus LR06 to inhibit the colonization of the digestive tract membrane by Clostridium perfringens in dogs reaches 80%. Lactobacillus rhamnosus LR06 metabolites stimulate local and general immunity of the body. After enriching the diet with the above strain of microorganisms, a higher sensitivity of cell receptors to insulin and more effective weight loss were observed, which indicates the possibility of using Lactobacillus rhamnosus LR06 in the weight loss process. In addition, individuals receiving Lactobacillus rhamnosus LR06 in their diet have been shown to have a higher concentration of GABA - a neurotransmitter that alleviates mood disorders and reduces the level of anxiety.
