Did you know that it is recommended for Bulgarians to take Bulgarian probiotics…

What is the secret behind a good probiotic, and how do we choose the one most suitable for us? Why should we use probiotics from the place where we live? These are important questions we must answer in order to make a correct and informed choice.

NATURE "THINKS" OF EVERYTHING, ESPECIALLY US AND OUR HEALTH

In an adult's body, there are about 1.5–2 kg of living bacteria of over 1,000 species. Lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria play a key role in balance and health. All these bacteria exhibit species diversity in the intestinal tract based on the geographical region, lifestyle, and diet. In the Balkans, naturally fermented foods rich in beneficial microorganisms are a mandatory part of the daily menu. For centuries, the Bulgarian way of life has included the home production and consumption of yogurt, white brined cheese, and yellow cheese, which is attributed to the large number of centenarians who have lived on our lands.

WHY IS THE BULGARIAN PROBIOTIC BENEFICIAL?

Research conducted at the beginning of the 20th century established that protein substances in the large intestine putrefy, becoming toxic and harmful to humans. They are absorbed by the body and cause changes in tissues, such as signs of aging. The harmful effect of putrefactive microorganisms can be eliminated by the constant colonization of lactobacilli in the intestinal tract. The beneficial bacterium Lactobacillus bulgaricus is named after Bulgaria – the country where it was first discovered and used.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT PROBIOTIC AND WHY DO WE RECOMMEND LACTOFLOR BIOPLUS?

A sedentary lifestyle and poor dietary habits of the population, on one hand, and the growing awareness of people, on the other, have led to immense interest in probiotic products worldwide, which has prompted the market to respond with even greater supply. Therefore, let us look at the main criteria and characteristics by which we can choose a high-quality probiotic.

1. COMPOSITION

Data from different parts of the world prove the differences in the composition of beneficial intestinal microflora, corresponding to food and geographical region. Therefore, a multi-bacterial formula will be more effective if it contains those bacteria from the nature of the place where we live. The products from the Lactoflor BioPlus range contain microorganisms isolated from various ecologically clean regions in Bulgaria, from natural sources and sources of human origin.

When choosing, it is also important to ensure that the product contains bacterial strains that work synergistically. The suggested strain combinations are exactly that, and it is clinically proven that they work on specific conditions.

• In the composition of the capsules, we see the two unique Bulgarian strains Lactobacillus bulgaricus LKZ/200 (isolated from bloody cranesbill) and L. rhamnosus LLR-1. Bloody cranesbill, as we know, has an immunostimulating effect and suppresses the development of Candida and Escherichia coli.
• Lactoflor BioPlus capsules also contain Lactobacillus acidophilus LLA-10, Streptococcus thermophilus LST-229, Bifidobacterium bifidum LBB-02, Bifidobacterium longum LBL-01, and Bifidobacterium infantis LBI-04, while Lactoflor BioPlus tablets contain the strains Lactobacillus bulgaricus LKZ-200 (again isolated from bloody cranesbill), Lactobacillus rhamnosus LLR-L1, and Streptococcus thermophilus LST-229.
• Lactoflor BioPlus also contains the prebiotic inulin, which provides the necessary daily intake of fiber that is not digested by humans but is a valuable food source for probiotic microorganisms and helps them multiply.
• Lactoflor BioPlus is a 100% natural synbiotic; it contains no added preservatives, colorants, sweeteners, or genetically modified organisms.

2. MANUFACTURER

Lactoflor is the first Bulgarian probiotic developed by Kendy Pharma, a leader in the production of probiotics in Bulgaria. The company is known for its scientific team, high biotechnological capacity, and certifications according to the highest international standards.

3. BIOAVAILABILITY

This is the number of live bacteria that reach the intestines.
The dosage unit in which a probiotic product is offered must be such as to ensure its stability over time. Lactoflor BioPlus capsules are in gastro-resistant DR capsules, which maintain their integrity in the stomach, thus protecting the probiotic microorganisms from the aggressive gastric environment. Their contents are released only when they reach the intestines, where the bacteria can exert their beneficial biological activity. The concentration of probiotic microorganisms in Lactoflor BioPlus capsules and tablets is high enough to provide the required daily intake with 1-2 capsules or tablets per day, which is a great convenience for a busy lifestyle.

IMPORTANT – it is necessary for probiotics to be taken for a longer period (not just 7-14 days) so that the "good bacteria" can permanently colonize and the intestinal microbiota can be balanced and improved.

Lactoflor BioPlus tablets – a chewable synbiotic for gastrointestinal comfort and oral hygiene. It contains isomalt to prevent plaque and cavity formation in the mouth and fights bad bacteria. It is delicious and loved by children, suitable for them as well as for diabetics.

Lactoflor BioPlus capsules – a synbiotic that restores the balance of the intestinal microbiome and is suitable for prevention and long-term use (60 capsules).
