Lactobact FORTE - Probiotic for chronic inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, as well as for leaky gut syndrome or diverticulitis.

Lactobact FORTE is a specific, pharmacy-grade probiotic used to treat intestinal inflammation, including the chronic inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, as well as leaky gut syndrome and diverticulitis. Lactobact FORTE is a food for special medical purposes and is designed to address the diverse mechanisms of chronic inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). Its unique composition of five scientifically selected bacterial cultures and the important ingredients biotin and glutamine has been developed to meet the specific needs of individuals with intestinal inflammation. The product supports the gut-associated immune system, exhibits anti-inflammatory properties, and provides natural support for an inflamed intestinal lining. Lactobact FORTE strengthens the intestinal barrier and the intestinal mucosa, thereby prolonging remission periods in chronic inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD).

Therapists recommend this product for its special combination of live lactic acid bacteria, such as lactobacilli, bifidobacteria, and enterococci, along with biotin and glutamine, to strengthen the gut microbiome in cases of intestinal inflammation. The biologically active bacteria promote a balanced gut flora and regulate the gut's own immune cells. The important B vitamin biotin supports the development and strengthening of the intestinal mucosa. The valuable amino acid glutamine has a positive effect on the formation of intestinal cells and strengthens the natural barrier function of the intestine, reducing intestinal permeability. Strengthening the intestinal mucosa and supporting the barrier function are of paramount importance, especially for individuals with chronic inflammatory bowel disease.

With just two enteric-coated capsules daily, the gut microbiome of adolescents and adults is naturally supported during intestinal inflammation. Each daily dose contains 5 billion viable, microencapsulated lactic acid bacteria from 5 scientifically selected, balanced, and biologically active bacterial strains in optimal concentrations. Microencapsulation protects the natural gut bacteria from bile and stomach acid, thus promoting the viability and reproduction of these beneficial bacteria. As a result, the added beneficial gut bacteria have a 100 times higher survival rate than bacteria in conventional products.

This specific probiotic is well-tolerated, a quality product from Germany, and suitable for adolescents and adults aged 8 and over. For best results, it is recommended to take it for at least 2–5 months. The product is also suitable for continuous use and can be used as part of long-term therapy. If you have difficulty swallowing, the microencapsulation allows you to easily open the capsule. The powder inside can be mixed with water and then drunk. Always use the product according to the package insert or as directed by a doctor, pharmacist, or other healthcare professional. If you have any questions, please consult a healthcare professional.

The gut is a very important organ and the center of human health. Around 70% of immune cells reside in the gut, which is why a healthy gut flora is crucial for well-being. Intestinal disease severely restricts daily life and can have a lasting impact on quality of life – not only for the affected individual, but also for their family and social life. The number of cases of chronic inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) has increased significantly in recent years. IBD includes Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. These diseases are characterized by recurring or persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. They often first appear in young adulthood, but can also affect people over 60 or remain chronic in old age. The symptoms of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis differ. Crohn's disease can affect the entire digestive tract, from the mouth to the anus, but most commonly the last section of the small intestine. Ulcerative colitis affects only the large intestine, usually begins in the rectum, and spreads continuously. Symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease can include recurring episodes of cramping lower abdominal pain, weight loss, general malaise, fatigue, exhaustion, loss of appetite, mucus in the stool, frequent diarrhea, and increased bowel movements. Lactobact FORTE can help reduce the number of these episodes.

Lactobact FORTE is a natural preparation particularly suitable for supporting patients with chronic inflammatory bowel diseases (Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis) as a long-term therapy to prolong remission phases. It can also specifically support the gut microbiome and promote regeneration in cases of leaky gut syndrome (increased permeability of the intestinal mucosa to substances that normally cannot pass through, such as germs, toxins, and undigested food components) and diverticulosis (outpouching of the intestinal wall). Scientific findings demonstrate the very good results of probiotics in chronic inflammatory bowel diseases. Clinical studies show that biotin contributes to the maintenance of normal mucous membranes, such as the intestinal mucosa, and glutamine strengthens the barrier function of the intestinal mucosa. In combination with scientifically selected probiotic bacterial strains, this probiotic is specifically designed to support individuals suffering from chronic inflammatory bowel disease. Bifidobacterium infantis and Lactobacillus bulgaricus have been shown in various scientific studies to significantly reduce inflammatory processes in the body. Furthermore, researchers have discovered that Lactobacillus helveticus has the ability to inhibit and displace pathogenic germs. It also supports improved nutrient absorption. Bifidobacterium animalis supports and stimulates the immune system. Enterococcus faecium, the fifth bacterium included, is also used to strengthen the immune system and reduce diarrhea.
