What is the intestinal microflora?
The intestinal microflora is a collection ofvarious microorganisms that are in symbiosis with each other. In the human intestine, on average, there are about 500 species of bacteria (useful and pathogenic).
Instructions
1
Intestinal microflora includes manymicroorganisms, the total weight of which is 2 kilograms. The main (obligate) part is bifidobacteria (95%). Associated microorganisms are represented by lactobacilli, coccal forms, intestinal rods, their number does not exceed more than 5%. Residual flora is conditionally pathogenic, it includes Candida, Proteus, Staphylococcus, Enterobacterium, Campylobacteria, Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Normally their specific gravity should not be more than 1%.

Normal microflora performs the followingfunctions: digestive, protective, immunomodulating, metabolic. It has a detoxification effect, protecting the body from microbes and toxins. It is a natural biosorbent accumulating a lot of toxic products (metals, phenols, xenobiotics, poisons). Normal intestinal microflora suppresses the action of causative agents of intestinal infections, putrefactive, pyogenic, pathogenic and opportunistic microorganisms. It helps to strengthen the immune system, synthesizes antibiotic-like substances, is the main processor of food, plays a significant role in the processes of digestion, metabolism, promotes absorption of calcium, iron, vitamin D.

Intestinal microflora restores motor anddigestive function of the gastrointestinal tract, normalizes peristalsis, prevents flatulence, provides body cells with energy, regulates appetite, mood, sleep, circadian rhythms. Correct and regular work of the digestive tract will depend directly on the composition of the microflora, the violation of which leads to such diseases as cardiovascular pathologies, diabetes, gastrointestinal problems, hormonal failures, etc.

Prevalence of pathogenic bacteria in the intestinecauses pain in the abdomen, flatulence, dryness, scaling of the skin. Imbalance of the intestinal flora is one of the main causes of early aging of the body, as putrefactive bacteria poison the body. Disturbance of microflora is due to qualitative and quantitative changes in the composition of the intestinal flora, it is called "dysbiosis". Its causes are: malnutrition, intake of antibiotics, antiseptics, antibacterial agents, improper intestinal cleaning. Other reasons include: decreased immunity, alcohol abuse, smoking.
RioFlora for the protection of the intestine ProbioticThe complex of RioFlora belongs to the probiotics of the new generation, having in the composition specially selected bacteria that inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria, many of which lead to intestinal disorders. BAD. It is not a medicinal product.
