Lactobion Forte Capsule

Lactobion Forte Capsule is a balanced combination of probiotics and B-complex vitamins. Antibiotic use can disrupt healthy gut flora, potentially leading to imbalances. Lactic acid bacillus, when introduced into the gut as a probiotic, can help maintain the natural balance of gut microbiota. It may interact with host cells and contribute to energy production through glucose synthesis and degradation. Additionally, B-complex vitamins can act as co-enzymes in various metabolic reactions in the body, supporting overall health. A balanced gut flora and adequate vitamin levels are essential for maintaining general well-being.

Key Ingredients:

• Lactic Acid Bacillus 100 million spores

• Vitamin B6 IP 1 mg

• Vitamin B12 IP 5 mcg

• Biotin USP 10 mcg

• Niacinamide IP 25 mg

• Folic Acid IP 500 mcg

Key Benefits:

• Lactic acid bacillus: LAB can support the natural balance of bacteria in the gut and helps maintain a healthy digestive environment. It may produce helpful acids that contribute to gut health and proper colon function. LAB can create substances that help relax the gut muscles and manage hunger and mood. As a probiotic, LAB may help in maintaining a healthy digestive system, supporting gut health, and maintaining nutrient absorption. It may help support the effectiveness of gut health supplements

• Pharmacokinetics of lactic acid bacillus: Following oral administration, lactic acid bacillus passes through the stomach in its spore form and upon arrival in the duodenum, germinates and multiplies rapidly. It takes up to 4 hours for germination. After germination, it gets metabolically active producing lactic acid. However, lactic acid bacillus is a temporary resident in the intestines

• Vitamin B6 pyridoxine, folic acid, and vitamin B12: These are important co-factors in homocysteine metabolism and may help in managing the plasma levels of homocysteine. Deficiency of any of these vitamins may lead to vitamin deficiency

• Vitamin B6: Once absorbed, converts to the co-enzymes, pyridoxamine phosphate and pyridoxal phosphate, which can play an essential role in protein metabolism

• Vitamin B12: It is present in the body mainly as methylcobalamin, adenosylcobalamine and hydroxocobalamine. Adequate levels of vitamin B12 are necessary for maintaining healthy bodily functions

• Folic acid: It is required for nucleoprotein synthesis and the maintenance of normal erythropoiesis

• Niacinamide (Vit-B3): It is required for the functioning of the coenzymes nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP). NAD and NADP are necessary for tissue respiration, glycogenolysis, and lipid, amino acid, protein, and purine metabolism. Its deficiency leads to pellagra

• Biotin: It is a water-soluble B-complex vitamin. It functions as a cofactor for carboxylase enzymes involved in liver gluconeogenesis

Concerns It Can Help With:

• Diarrhoea and dysentery, gastric and mouth ulcers and irritable bowel syndrome

• It is indicated during and after the antibiotic course or an anti-infective course is prescribed for infections

• Other indications are blisters and canker sores, adolescent acne, and vitamin B complex deficiency
