Introduction to Refilac Capsule
Refilac capsule belongs to the category called pre-probiotics. Probiotics are living microorganisms that have been proven beneficial for the gut and improve immunity. Lactobacillus acidophilus reduces the concentration of toxins in the blood and prevents the growth of pathogenic bacteria in the gut. Lactitol effectively treats constipation in adults.
Streptococcus thermophilus utilizes urea, Creatinine, and uric acid as nutrients for its growth and survival and thus helps cleanse the bloodstream of urea and uric acid. This probiotic combination is increasingly used to reduce lactose intolerance, diarrhea, skin ailments, renal failure, and vaginal infections in women.
Do not consume if you are allergic to probiotics or other components. Avoid consuming this drug and contact your doctor immediately if you develop a rash or skin symptoms. If you are pregnant, think you may be pregnant, or planning for the pregnancy, it is generally recommended to consult your doctor for more advice before taking this capsule. Contact your physician for more information if you are breastfeeding or planning to breastfeed. Consult your doctor before taking any new supplement, including Probiotics, especially if you have a compromised immune system. Your physician can provide personalized advice based on your medical history and help determine if the particular combination of probiotic strains suits you.

Therapeutic Effects of Refilac Capsule
Refilac capsule contains pre-probiotics. Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium longum, and Streptococcus thermophilus are probiotics, while lactate is a prebiotic. Probiotics and prebiotics are used together to facilitate the growth of good bacteria in the gut. Lactitol decreases the intestine's pH and favors good bacteria growth while inhibiting Enterobacteriaceae. It acts as a laxative by increasing fecal volume. Streptococcus thermophilus has the potential to inhibit infection-causing microorganisms in the intestine and is beneficial to prevent or amend certain diseases. Bifidobacterium longum utilizes toxic compounds in the intestine as nutrients that favor its growth.
