The biological properties of the combined preparation containing a probiotic are determined by the properties of the components that make up its composition.
Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) - a probiotic strain of lactic acid bacteria, supports and regulates the physiological balance of the intestinal microflora, inhibits the attachment of pathogenic bacteria to the intestinal mucosa and, thanks to this property, LGG prevents the colonization of the gastrointestinal mucosa by pathogenic bacteria.LGG, producing metabolic products, inhibits the growth of pathogenic bacteria, without hampering the growth of useful lactobacilli. LGG promotes additional protection of the digestive system, enhancing the production of secretory immunoglobulin A in the intestinal lumen. In addition, the combined effect of vitamins, minerals and lactobacilli LGG generally contributes to the strengthening of the body's immune defenses and the formation of an adequate immune response.
Vitamin A (retinol)
It is an important component of the body's antioxidant defense. It plays a role in the formation of the immune system, increases the body's resistance to various infections. Vitamin A is involved in the formation of the skeleton, it is necessary for the construction of epithelial tissue. If vitamin A deficiency occurs, a disorder of dark adaptation (twilight vision) occurs.
Vitamin D3 (colcalciferol)
Increases and strengthens the immune system, is necessary for the functioning of the thyroid gland and normal blood coagulability. Supports the level of inorganic phosphorus and calcium in the plasma and increases the absorption of calcium in the small intestine, preventing the development of osteopenia.
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid)
It is important for the functioning of immunocompetent blood cells, contributes to increasing the body's resistance to various infections. It plays an important role in the formation of a protein called collagen, which constitutes a significant part of the material of connective tissues, bones, cartilage, teeth and skin.
Ascorbic acid promotes the absorption of inorganic iron from the digestive tract. In addition, it has antioxidant properties.
Vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol)
It is an important component of the system of antioxidant protection of the body: inhibits the development of free radical reactions, prevents the formation of peroxides damaging cell and subcellular membranes, which is important for the development of the body, the normal function of the nervous and muscular systems. Together with selenium, it inhibits the oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids (a component of the microsomal electron transfer system), prevents the hemolysis of erythrocytes. It is a cofactor of some enzyme systems.
Vitamin B1 (thiamine)
One of the most important vitamins in energy metabolism.It is an essential component of carbohydrate metabolism as a component - part of coenzyme for decarboxylation of keto acids; plays an important role also in protein and fat metabolism, has an effect on the conduction of nervous excitation in the cholinergic synapses.
Vitamin B2 (riboflavin)
It participates in the utilization of fats, proteins and carbohydrates, it is indispensable in the processes of body growth. Vitamin B2 regulates the state of the central and peripheral nervous system, positively affects vision.
Has a metabolic effect; regulating the oxidation-reduction processes, takes part in tissue respiration.
Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine)
Participates in the synthesis of nucleic acids, regulates phosphorus-calcium metabolism, improves liver function, participates in hematopoiesis. It is important for the normal function of the central and peripheral nervous system.
Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin)
It is necessary for the normal functioning of the nervous system, it improves concentration of attention and memory. Stimulates erythropoiesis.
Folic acid
Participates in various metabolic processes. It is necessary for the maturation of megaloblasts and the formation of normoblasts.Stimulates erythropoiesis, participates in the synthesis of amino acids (including glycine, methionine), nucleic acids, purines, pyrimidines, in the exchange of choline, histidine.
Nicotinamide
It participates in oxidation-reduction processes in the cell, stabilizes the processes of tissue respiration. It plays a role in fat and carbohydrate metabolism and metabolism of amino acids.
Pantothenic acid (in the form of calcium pantothenate)
Pantothenic acid is a part of coenzyme A, playing an important role in the processes of acetylation and oxidation, participates in carbohydrate and fat metabolism, in the synthesis of acetylcholine and steroid hormones. It improves the energy supply of the contractile function of the myocardium, accelerates regeneration processes.
Magnesium
It is of great importance in the regulation of the contractile function and the electrical stability of myocardial cells. Participates in the synthesis of neuropeptides of the brain and is responsible for the transmission of braking signals to the peripheral nerves and muscles.
Iron
Participates in the processes of hematopoiesis.
Zinc
When combined with iron, it also stimulates blood formation. It is part of a large number of body enzymes.Zinc deficiency is associated with stunting, decreased immunity, and increased incidence.
Manganese
Manganese stimulates the synthesis of immunoglobulins and is also a component of superoxide dismutase, which plays an important role in protecting the body from the harmful effects of peroxide radicals.
Chromium
Participates in the synthesis of insulin.
Stabilizes the cell membranes, interacts with the active forms of oxygen, free radicals. Reduces the amount of products of lipid peroxidation.
Selenium
Selenium is part of the enzyme system - glutathione-peroxidase, which protects biological membranes from the damaging effects of free radicals.
Iodine
One of the main functions of iodine is the participation in the formation of thyroid hormones (thyroxine, triiodothyronine). Thyroid hormones, the basis of which is iodine, perform vital functions: regulate the brain, nervous system, sex and breast, the growth and development of the body.
