Hylaktiv® capsules, 60 ST

Strengthen your immune system from the inside out! Hylaktiv® capsules are a probiotic with a unique combination of 6 strains of lactic acid bacteria and a vitamin B complex (B1, B2, B6, B12). They regulate the intestinal flora to build up and strengthen the body's defences.

The group of lactic acid bacteria contained in Hylaktiv® - in a specially selected and high-dose composition (approx. 1.5 billion units) - has a high resistance and survives even under difficult living conditions. They are not destroyed by stomach acid or bile acid and reach the large intestine. It is known that the human large intestine in particular is colonised by many lactic acid-producing bacteria.

What is the connection between the intestine and the immune system?

The intestine is a very important organ for the entire defence system. It is assumed that over 80% of the immune system is found in the gut. This is because a large number of substances enter the organism through food and the intestine has to fulfil various protective mechanisms.

The intestine has several protective barriers:

• defence cells as part of the immune system
• a healthy intestinal mucosa
• intact intestinal flora The composition of the intestinal flora is determined by both external and endogenous influences. Hygiene, lifestyle (diet, stress and strain), but also medication (especially antibiotics) can change the natural intestinal flora and have an effect on the entire immune system and thus on health and well-being.

Hylaktiv® not only contains a combination of lactic acid bacteria (lactobacilli, bifidobacteria, streptococcus thermophilus), but also B-complex vitamins. B vitamins are often referred to as team players or vitamin B complexes, as they rarely fulfil their function individually, but usually in combination.

They fulfil a number of important basic functions in the human body:

• Participation in the conversion of nutrients into energy
• Support normal functioning of the nervous system
• Support of psychological functions
• Contribute to the normal function of the immune system (vitamin B6, B12)
• Support of a normal mucous membrane, including the intestinal mucous membrane (vitamin B2, niacin)
• To maintain normal skin (vitamin B2, niacin)

In addition, the individual B vitamins support numerous other functions in the human body:

• Thiamine (vitamin B1): Contributes to the normal functioning of energy metabolism and the nervous system.
• Riboflavin (vitamin B2): Its contribution to the maintenance of normal mucous membranes and the protection of cells from oxidative stress is particularly important for the intestines. In addition, vitamin B2 supports normal energy metabolism, contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and to the normal functioning of the nervous system. It is also important for normal iron metabolism and the maintenance of normal red blood cells.
• Pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6): Like the other B vitamins, has numerous functions in the area of normal energy metabolism and the nervous system. Its contribution to the normal function of the immune system is particularly important for the intestines, as the majority of defence cells are located in the intestinal area. It also contributes to normal protein and glycogen metabolism, the normal formation of red blood cells and the regulation of hormone activity. Vitamin B6 also contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
• Cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12): Vitamin B12 also contributes to normal energy metabolism and normal functioning of the nervous system. Its contribution to the normal function of the immune system is particularly important for the intestines, as the majority of defence cells are located in the intestinal area. It also has a function in cell division and contributes to the normal formation of red blood cells. It also helps to reduce tiredness and fatigue.
• Niacin: Also belongs to the B vitamins and is required for the smooth running of numerous metabolic processes. Its contribution to the maintenance of normal mucous membranes is particularly important for the intestines. It also supports normal energy metabolism and normal functioning of the nervous system. In addition, it helps to reduce tiredness and fatigue.
• Pantothenic acid: This B vitamin plays a central role in metabolism, as it is involved in numerous metabolic processes, such as energy metabolism, but also in the production of hormones, vitamin D and some neurotransmitters. Pantothenic acid - like many other B vitamins - contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and to normal mental performance.

When is Hylaktiv® particularly recommended?

For anyone who wants to do something good for their gut:

• Lactic acid bacteria are among the bacteria that colonise the intestinal mucosa.
• Also suitable as preparation for an upcoming long-distance journey to avoid problems with the change of diet as far as possible
• Daily Hylaktiv® supports the normal function of the immune system thanks to the vitamins it contains (vitamins B6 and B12). As a large part of the immune system is located in the intestine, the intestine benefits particularly from these effects.
• Hylaktiv® contains vitamins that have a favourable effect on the mucous membrane, including the intestinal mucous membrane (vitamin B2, niacin).
