Product Introduction

Refilac Capsule is a pre-probiotic formulation. Probiotics are living microorganisms demonstrated to benefit gut health and enhance immunity. Lactobacillus acidophilus reduces blood toxin concentration and inhibits pathogenic bacterial growth in the gut. Lactitol effectively addresses constipation in adults. Streptococcus thermophilus utilises urea, creatinine, and uric acid as nutrients for growth and survival, thereby assisting clearance of urea and uric acid from the bloodstream. This probiotic combination is increasingly used to address lactose intolerance, diarrhoea, skin conditions, renal failure, and vaginal infections in women. Do not consume if allergic to probiotics or other capsule components. Discontinue use and contact your doctor immediately if you develop a rash or skin symptoms. If you are pregnant, suspect pregnancy, or are planning pregnancy, consult your doctor before taking this capsule. Contact your physician for guidance if you are breastfeeding or planning to breastfeed. Consult your doctor before taking any new supplement, including probiotics, particularly if you have a compromised immune system. Your physician can provide personalised advice based on your medical history and help determine whether this particular combination of probiotic strains is appropriate for you.

How it works

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.
