Yogurt
Yogurt is an effective medicine that normalizes the balance of the intestinal flora, contains bacteria necessary for the body that take part in the synthesis of vitamins, inhibit the formation of toxins, promote the qualitative digestion of food, and stimulate the production of immunity.

Yogurt is usually prescribed as a prophylactic and therapeutic drug throughout the period of taking antimicrobial and antifungal medicines to support immune processes against the background of specific treatment of cancer.
Indications for the use of yogurt can be enzymatic disorders of digestion and assimilation of food, chronic forms of colitis and enterocolitis.
The violation of the qualitative and quantitative ratio of the intestinal microflora, which is manifested by disorders of stool, increased gas formation, a feeling of heaviness in the abdomen, comes to normal within a short time after the use of preparations based on yogurt.

Release form

Each capsule contains 20 mg of active lactobacilli, as well as lactose, magnesium stearate, whey and vitamin C.
Pharmacodynamics
The main role in the pharmacodynamics of yogurt is played by the various types of lactobacilli contained in it, which must necessarily be present in the intestinal microflora of a healthy person. The necessary balance of useful and pathogenic bacteria in the body determines the correct processes of immunomodulation, disposal of toxic substances, prevents possible disorders in the digestive system, as well as failures in the synthesis of vitamins of group B, K1 and K2.
The protective activity of lactobacilli is aimed at controlling the growth of staphylococci, protozoa, as well as mycotic infection and Escherichia coli. They have the ability to influence the acid-base balance of the intestine, releasing lactic acid and lysozyme.
Useful bacteria prevent absorption in the intestine of toxic substances, potential allergens, etc.
Pharmacokinetics
Lactobacilli, contained in yogurt, in an unchanged form safely pass through the stomach, without being damaged by the acidic environment of gastric juice. Scientific studies have established the fact that the retention of useful microflora in a solution of hydrochloric acid for 3 hours did not affect the viability of bacteria. The addition of bile solution also did not affect their activity in any way. Therefore, we can confidently say that the lactobacillus needed by the body reaches the intestine in an absolutely functional state.
The ability of useful microflora to cultivate is maintained by the presence of streptococcal bacteria.
