Lacteol 340 mg, 10 powder packets

Why use Lactéol 340 mg in single-dose packets to treat diarrhea?

Episodes of acute diarrhea disrupt the balance of the gut microbiota and weaken the intestinal barrier. Lactéol 340 mg offers a targeted therapeutic response with postbiotic action to restore digestive comfort:

1. Immediate barrier and antidiarrheal effect: The inactivated Lactobacillus LB bacterial cells prevent pathogens from adhering to and invading intestinal cells.
2. Protection of the intestinal mucosa: Stimulates the mucosa’s local nonspecific immune response and inhibits the proliferation of undesirable bacteria.
3. Restoration of the microbiota: Promotes the recovery of the gut flora ecosystem disrupted by gastroenteritis or digestive disorders.
