The structure of one capsule includes the following substances:
- live lactobacilli;
- kefir fungus polysaccharide;
- bifidobacteria.
Capsules have a pronounced antimicrobial effect against pathogenic microorganisms, which, when spread, provoke digestive upsets.
Inhibition of the growth of pathogenic bacteria in the intestine is due to the propagation of bifidobacteria, which create negative survival conditions for harmful strains.
By increasing the number of positive microbes in the intestine, the human immunity and its ability to withstand various infectious diseases are enhanced.
The lactobacilli included in the drug cause inhibition of the growth of pathogens.
When normal flora is restored, the production and absorption of B and K vitamins, as well as other biologically active substances, are normalized. During the regeneration of microflora using Acipol, plasma levels of cholesterol and bilirubin normalize.
Continuous use of the drug in therapeutic and prophylactic dosages improves digestion processes and eliminates unpleasant sensations in the patient. With the help of the bifidobacteria included in the structure of Acipol, the functioning of the intestine is improved, the wave-like contraction of the walls of the hollow tubular organs is improved, which serves as a prevention of chronic constipation. The cost of the drug varies from 250 to 350 rubles.
