Bifilac Sachets 0.5 gm is a combination of four probiotics, namely: Bacillus mesentericus, Clostridium butyricum, Lactic acid bacillus, and Streptococcus faecalis. Bacillus mesentericus inhibits the growth of pathogenic bacteria and helps in digestion by regulating abnormal movements. Clostridium butyricum interferes with the growth of pathogenic bacteria like Clostridium difficile. Lactic acid bacillus helps maintain a healthy balance of microflora in the intestine, thereby improving the gastrointestinal ecology. It also helps maintain healthy lipid levels by incorporating cholesterol into its cellular structure. Streptococcus faecalis helps clear diarrhoea, stimulates the immune system, and helps balance intestinal microflora. It also helps reduce symptoms in lactose-intolerant patients. Together, Bifilac Sachets 0.5 gm helps treat conditions associated with dysbacteriosis.
