Properties
Live, lyophilized bacteria of the Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG strain as part of the Linex Complex dietary supplement help restore the balance of the human intestinal microbiota.

• lactobacilli do not have pathogenic properties and are part of the normal intestinal microflora;
• have a positive effect on epithelial cells, improving the barrier function and structural characteristics of the intestinal wall;
• maintain the pH values ​​in the intestine in the normal range, thereby maintaining the activity of digestive enzymes;
• inhibit the growth of pathogens, affect intestinal peristalsis and activate immunity.

Disorder of the physiological balance of the intestinal microflora occurs under the influence of causative agents of infections of the digestive tract (bacterial or viral nature, including rotaviruses), antibiotic and chemotherapy, violations of circadian rhythms, diet and diet, changes in geographical and climatic conditions and exposure to stress.
Violation of the natural balance of the intestinal microflora is associated with abdominal discomfort, increased gas production in the intestine, upset stools, as well as a decrease in the immune response and skin allergic manifestations (including the development of atopic dermatitis).

Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG is one of the most studied probiotic strains. Research results confirm its positive effect on the activity of the digestive tract and the body’s immune response, effective prevention of antibiotic-associated diarrhea in children and adults, along with safety and good tolerance.
Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG has a positive effect on intestinal immunity by improving the phagocytic activity of leukocytes, increasing the secretion of IgA and other immunoglobulins by cells of the intestinal mucosa, and stimulating the local release of interferons. Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG also has anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic properties.
The ability to resist gastric acidity and the aggressive effects of bile salts gives Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG a high survival rate in the gastrointestinal tract after oral administration. The presence of exopolysaccharides and specific adhesive pili in the cell wall determines the colony-forming and adhesive properties of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG and the good stability of the strain in the intestine.

The positive effect on the body of the probiotic Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG is supported by B vitamins – thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), pyridoxine (B6), as well as the trace element zinc in Linex Complex.

Riboflavin is a precursor of flavoenzymes that are involved in redox reactions and energy production in mitochondria, are critical in the metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids and proteins, and are involved in the metabolism of vitamin B6, niacin and folate.

Pyridoxine in coenzyme forms performs a wide range of functions in the body, participating in more than 100 enzymatic reactions, mainly associated with protein metabolism, as well as in the synthesis of nucleic acids, gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis. Vitamin B6 plays a role in cognitive development through the biosynthesis of neurotransmitters and the maintenance of normal homocysteine ​​levels; participates in the immune function (including promoting the production of lymphocytes and interleukin-2) and the formation of hemoglobin, can affect the activity of steroid receptors and reduce their influence on gene expression.

Thiamine is involved in several enzymatic functions related to the metabolism of carbohydrates, branched chain amino acids, fatty acids.

Zinc is an essential mineral for the catalytic, structural and regulatory functions of the body. It plays an important role in growth and development, reproduction, immune response, and nervous system functions. Zinc is responsible for the ability of more than 300 different enzymes to catalyze vital chemical reactions. Zinc affects the structure and function of cell membranes, decreasing their susceptibility to oxidative damage and improving their activity; plays a role in the transmission of signals in cells, affects the release of hormones and the transmission of nerve impulses, appears in the processes of apoptosis, is necessary to maintain adequate erythropoiesis.
