Pharmacodynamics
Ecoflor is a probiotic medicine of a new generation, which consists of a wide range of strains of bifido-, and also lactobacilli (the strains have antagonistic activity). These elements are immobilized on the basis of SUMS-1, which protects bacteria passing through the acidic environment.
As a medicine, SUMS-1 is used to eliminate intoxication processes in the body. It also helps to remove toxins from the intestine along with heavy metal salts.
Enterosorbent SUMS-1 has a powerful bactericidal activity, but it does not absorb intestinal enzymes with hormones, as well as hydrogen sulfide with a transport protein, which is required for peristalsis. In addition, SUMS-1 does not excrete ions that support the process of hemostasis, does not disrupt the balance of water and salt in the body, and does not provoke intestinal atony. As a result, the drug is considered to be an ideal tool for prolonged use. There is also information that Ecoflor can reduce the load on liver function.
It should be noted that dry means, passing through the stomach, lose about 90% of their activity, and under the influence of Ecoflora, the protective properties of bifido- and also lactobacillus, on the contrary, are significantly enhanced. Immobilized form of the drug allows you to perform detoxification and eliminate from the body pathogenic microorganisms and toxins with the products of decay.
Among the properties of Ecoflora are also: stabilization of the function of the gastrointestinal tract, restoration of the intestinal microflora, elimination of the conditionally pathogenic and pathogenic microflora, and with it the reduction of internal and external intoxication of the whole organism in general.
Thanks to bifido- and lactobacilli, the processes of multiplying pathogenic, gas-forming, and at the same time putrefactive microflora are prevented, digestion processes and assimilation of useful vitamins occur. In addition, they help to stabilize the metabolism of trace elements (among them iron and calcium), and in addition the content and exchange of bioactive components.
In the process of treatment of chronic forms of pathologies of internal organs, bifido- and lactobacilli have an immunostimulating effect, positively affecting the body.
