‍⚕Best Probiotics in 2020

Probiotics - this name is known to everyone who has ever become a patient of a medical institution; interested in the processes of the digestive tract; everything related to intestinal microflora, maintaining a healthy diet.

The editors of the site "Ya Nashla" have prepared for you an overview of the best domestic and foreign probiotics of 2020.

Biotic means life

This medical term has several prefixes, as a result of their attachment to the main one (biotics), the names of different drugs are formed: prebiotics, antibiotics, eubiotics.

After application antibiotics (anti-life) - substances that suppress the growth of bacterial cells, the source of infection in the body is extinguished. Along with them, live microbes necessary for normal intestinal activity die.

This side effect leads to an imbalance in microorganisms. Changes in the number of bacteria necessary for normal functioning leads to negative consequences. One of them is the disappearance of eubiotics and the development of dysbiosis.

Eubiotics - strain (type) of microorganisms that make up the healthy intestinal flora. These are persistent bacteria.

Dysbacteriosis - violation of microflora, accompanied by intoxication, abdominal pain, flatulence, decreased immunity, etc.

A change in the composition of bacteria can occur as a result of taking certain medications, antibiotics, improper diet, diets, stress, etc.

To restore the intestinal microflora, disturbed indicators should be returned to normal. Probiotics and prebiotics help with this.

• Prebiotics - it is food for the development of its own nutrient bacteria, a nutrient medium for additionally obtained (probiotics).
• Probiotics - live microorganisms that counteract pathogenic bacteria. They increase the body's self-protective functions and strengthen the immune system. In combination with prebiotics, their effect is enhanced many times over.

To understand the effect of this dosage form, let's get acquainted with probiotics in more detail.

Probiotics: description

These are live bacto cultures or dietary supplements, the function of which is to normalize the intestines by eliminating the imbalance of living bacteria, suppressing pathogenic (pathogenic) organisms.

Important properties of a bacterial preparation are resistance to an acidic environment, a high ability to fix on the walls of the colon, regeneration, reproduction.

Release form

For ease of use, probiotics are available in different dosage forms:

• liquid;
• powdery;
• tableted;
• capsular;
• candle-shaped.

As:

• medicines;
• food additives;
• as part of sour milk products.

Medicines are presented in liquid, dry and capsule forms.

• Liquid form the drug preserves the vital activity of bacteria better. They are more quickly activated, regenerated, and begin to have a suppressive effect on toxic organisms.
  More convenient in determining the dosage and its ratio to the patient's age. It is possible to combine with other drugs - prebiotics, vitamins, minerals.
• Dry probiotics in the form of a powder is obtained by alternating drying and freezing processes, which allows a longer storage period.
  But their activity is lower. For the "awakening" of the elements and activation, a certain time is required - from 8-10 hours. During this time, they are partially excreted by the body, which leads to a decrease in the required dose of the drug.
• Capsules prescribed for patients with diseases, because they have a better composition and a streamlined manufacturing process, the degree of control during production is higher.
• Candles used to treat vaginal diseases. They are convenient in that they do not affect the work of internal organs and if the body is unable to independently balance the ratio of bacteria.

Action on the body

During a change in the ratio of strains of living bacteria, a decrease in beneficial and an increase in pathogenic bacteria, a violation of the general work of the intestinal tract occurs. It can lead to:

• decrease in the protective functions of the whole organism;
• disposition to various diseases;
• metabolic disorders, digestive organs;
• the development of dysbiosis.

As a result, the general condition of the body and the quality of health deteriorate.
Eubiotics with the development of dysbiosis and unstable strains of bactocultures disappear over time, and they need to be replenished in the large intestine in the form of foods or medicines. Lack of their quantity is detrimental to health and leads to the development of painful symptoms.

Having entered the body, probiotics pass through the intestines, stopping in the large intestine and fixing themselves on its walls. Then each useful bacteriological form begins its reproduction, reaching a quantitative superiority over the pathogenic species.

They include rich functionality and help in:

• the breakdown of trace elements coming from products;
• restoration of microflora;
• absorption of vitamins, absorption of calcium, minerals;
• destruction and rapid removal of toxins from the body;
• preventing the onset and development of allergies;
• restoration of their weakened and foreign healthy bacteria;
• release of antimicrobial substances;
• assimilation of vitamins of group B, Ca, folic acid;
• improving the absorption of Fe, vitamin D;
• decrease in the permeability of the walls of the intestinal tract;
• improving the absorption of carbohydrates and proteins;
• healing and strengthening of the intestinal mucosa, elimination of unnecessarily formed;
• preventing anemia;
• improvement of the nervous system;
• strengthening the immune system;
• reducing gassing.

The property to change the pH-balance of the intestine to a favorable one for itself helps them in the fight against unwanted bacteria and the final death of the latter.
Through various mechanisms, they are endowed with the ability to develop antimicrobial forms that stop toxic poisoning of cells, leaving them without the possibility of development.

Generations of probiotics

Becausewishes for the characteristics of the drug are constantly increasing, experts are conducting constant research in this area, working to improve the composition and remove the ideal combination of its components.

There are several generations:

1. It contains one pathogenic form of microorganisms. These are single-ingredient drugs called monoprobiotics.
   Examples: Bifidumbacterin (powder, tablets, capsules), Lactobacterin (powder), Colibacterin (powder), Biobactone (powder), Narine (capsules, dairy product), Primadophilus (capsules, powder).
2. Preparations that contain bacteria in combination with fungal yeast. They are not permanent residents of the intestine, but they help it significantly. They are referred to as polyprobiotics. If the prescribed course of probiotics did not help, native, live forms are prescribed. These are synbiotics.
   These include: Baktisubtil, Flonivin BS, Baktisporin, Sporobacterin, Enterol, Biosporin, Eubikor.
3. Multicomponent drugs. This group includes probiotics, which include several species of different groups of bacteria or one species in combination with additional substances with the function of increasing active vital activity. This is a kefir mushroom, various forms of lactose. In short, bacteria + dietary supplements = symbiotics
   Representatives of drugs of this type: Linex, Bifiform Bifiliz, Acipol, Atsilakt.
4. The composition includes sorbed probiotics with the addition of substances with unique properties to relieve intoxication (activated carbon). They have a fairly quick healing effect. The result is obvious after 2-3 receptions of a short course. These are sorption combination preparations.
   These include: Probifor, Bifidumbacterin ForteB Florin Forte.

At the moment, there is no probiotic that solves all health issues and is suitable for any category of patients.

Composition

Having studied the composition of the preparation of bacterial origin, it is possible to determine its compliance with the diagnosis. Probiotics contain:

• lactobacilli;
• bifidobacteria;
• enterococci;
• fungal yeast;
• streptococci;
• Escherichia coli of non-pathogenic origin;
• vitamins;
• minerals.

The presence of the prefix in the name of the drug lacto means that it will cope with the neutralization of toxins, relieve inflammation, normalize stool (constipation).

Prefix bifido in the title will tell about the property of the product to increase immunity, the solution to the issue of loose stools.

The best probiotic option is with the presence of lacto and bifido cultures in the composition.

Indications

The field of medical use of probiotics is quite wide. Their appointment is effective when:

• dysbiosis;
• abdominal pain;
• flatulence;
• decreased appetite;
• weight loss;
• blood in the feces;
• diseases of the oral cavity;
• allergic reactions;

• atopic dermatitis;
• respiratory tract infections;
• necrotizing colitis in premature babies;
• infectious mastitis during lactation;
• bacterial vaginitis;
• lactose intolerance;
• hepatic encephalopathy;
• normalization of the intestines.

The availability of medicines leads to the emergence of a desire in healthy people to carry out preventive measures, which is not necessary.

Contraindications

With a large number of advantages of this bacterial preparation, there are exceptions in its use.

Its use is not compatible:

1. with diseases associated with the immune system;
2. in the postoperative period (can provoke purulent and septic diseases);
3. with severe diseases (pancreatitis, intestinal ischemia).

Not all diseases of the gastrointestinal tract can be treated with a probiotic. It does not cure Crohn's disease, which is a severe, chronic form of intestinal inflammation.

Doses of reception, safe use

The size of the prescribed dose depends on the age of the patient, the duration and severity of the disease, the results of the tests obtained, the general condition of the patient, the diagnosis.
The medication is taken orally or vaginally.

General admission rules medication in the form of tablets - this is 1 hour before or 1 hour after eating, washed down or diluted with water. A course of 2-3 weeks is usually sufficient. The daily dose reaches 250 - 500 mg / day.

Because under the influence of gastric juice, bacterial cultures can die, it is better to take the remedy on an empty stomach, when the stomach is still empty.

For newborns it is better to use a liquid form: for a more accurate calculation of the required dose.

Older children powder is suitable. It is diluted with water in a 1: 1 ratio. Taken in 30 minutes. before meals, 3-4 times a day.

Capsules are prescribed for children aged 2 years, 1 pc., increasing the amount with age. This kind of medicine is not destroyed by stomach acid.

Do not be afraid of an overdose of the drug, because the total weight of all microorganisms in the human body is about 3 kg, which significantly exceeds the daily dose of prescribed probiotics.

The drug should be taken after visiting a specialist. Only the appointment of the correct dose and adherence to a strict regimen will lead to the elimination of painful symptoms.

Do not self-medicate or take it as a preventive measure. Healthy people don't need this.

Harm and side effects

Taking probiotics in most cases does not have negative reactions.

Very rarely can be observed:

• flatulence;
• slight abdominal discomfort;
• gas formation;
• diarrhea;
• nausea;
• allergic reactions to the constituent components.

In the case of admission for severe diseases, immunodeficiency, with short bowel syndrome, bacteremia (the presence of bacteria in the blood), bacterial infection is observed.

Storage conditions, terms

Some bacteria live at room temperature, while others die.

It is advisable to store medicines in the refrigerator, at temperatures up to + 4 degrees, for about 2 months. Powders and capsules - up to 1 year.

The classic version of taking probiotics is after the antibiotics have stopped working. But now there is already an opinion among medical specialists that the simultaneous intake of anti- and probiotics leads to a decrease in the destructive effects of the first drugs.

The combination with other drugs depends on the drug itself and requires consultation with a specialist.

Manufacturers

The first 2 weeks for a born baby are the most difficult.
The infant's gastrointestinal tract has not yet been adapted to the changed conditions, has not "straightened out". The process of eating is accompanied by colic and bloating. Mother's milk with all the necessary nutrients will be of great help to the baby.

To improve the quality of milk of a nursing mother, to increase its bifidogenic factor, it is necessary to replenish its composition in the form of preparations of bacterial origin.

Premature, bottle-fed babies who are lactose intolerant need additional lacto and bifido bacteria of a special kind.

Lubrication of the breast glands of a nursing mother with a probiotic preparation will eliminate their seeding by pathogenic organisms and prevent the formation of cracks.

Additionally, the milk canal will be protected from the penetration of external infections.

Lubricating the baby's skin with probiotic promotes rapid healing of diaper rash.

The alternation of bacterial preparations with milk mixtures when feeding artificial people leads to an improvement in the assimilation of milk mixtures and expands the choice of their use.
