From an early age, many parents teach their children to eat right and lead a he althy lifestyle. Eating at least three times a day should save you from diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, eating a large amount of vegetables and fruits should enrich the body with useful vitamins, minerals and trace elements, and walking in the fresh air will definitely save brain cells from oxygen starvation and increase hemoglobin. The recipe for a happy life is simple.
But, sadly, modern ecology, vegetables and fruits “stuffed” with all sorts of fertilizers, do not always benefit. Low immunity, fatigue, apathy are often associated with quality of life.
If frequently ill people turn to a specialist with he alth complaints, he will certainly prescribe vitamins to boost immunity. One of the favorites is Bion 3.
Instructions for use
It is worth remembering that "Bion 3" is a dietary supplement, not a medicine. Its direct purpose:
- restoration of intestinal microflora duringtime of taking antibiotics;
- prevention and restoration of the gastrointestinal tract associated with stress, quality of life;
- increased immunity, beriberi, anemia.
Depending on the form of release, this remedy is great for both adults and children from four years old. The children's form has smaller tablets and a balanced set of vitamins and minerals according to age.
The only contraindication to "Bion 3" is sensitivity to the components of the drug. Patients allergic to B vitamins should consult a doctor.
Special cast
After visiting the attending physician, coming to the pharmacy, many fall into a stupor when they hear the price. But there are reasons for this.
In addition to a complex of vitamins and microelements, Bion contains three types of bacteria that improve intestinal function, and a specially produced enteric-coated tablet delivers a live culture into the intestinal lumen without being affected by gastric juice.
In addition, the tablet itself has a specific structure: three layers. The first layer is vitamins; the second - minerals and microelements; the third is probioculture. The substances contained in each layer are released gradually, which also gives an additional plus. Thus, the absorption of vitamins and minerals is much higher than when taking regular vitamins.
And no matter how good the drug is, not everyone can get it. Respectively,you need to buy a cheaper analogue of "Bion 3" to start treatment. After all, despite the price policy of medicines, diseases will not disappear by themselves.
"Bion 3": analogues
It is worth noting that this dietary supplement has no complete analogues on the pharmaceutical market. There are preparations containing only bacteria or only vitamins. Therefore, if the price of Bion 3 does not suit you, you should consider buying two drugs or consult your doctor and ask for something more economical.
In addition, it is worth considering for which disease "Bion 3" was prescribed. Cheap analogues should contain vitamins and minerals if it is beriberi or anemia. Or a complex of probiotics to restore microflora, if this is a functional disorder of the gastrointestinal tract.
As mentioned earlier, "Bion 3" has no analogues in composition, but with the help of specialists you can find the most similar option.
Probiotics
For the normal functioning of the immune system and the liver, the body requires bifidobacteria and lactobacilli. The body's resistance to colds and viruses directly depends on their quantity. Dysbacteriosis entails not only a disorder of the stool, but also the assimilation of food.
Bifido- and lactobacilli play an important role in a woman's body. Their deficiency affects the microflora of the vagina, causing inflammation. To avoid such problems, gynecologists advise periodically drinking probiotics to those women who often suffer from such problems.
Analogues similar in composition of bacteria to Bion 3: Bifiform, Biovestin, Linex, Normolakt. Each of the above preparations contains from two to four types of bacteria.
Bifiform and Linex
What do these medicines have in common? Release form. Both Bifiform and Linex are produced in capsules. On this, in principle, their similarity ends.
Linex is a probiotic consisting of three types of lyophilized lactic acid bacteria: Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium infantis, Enterococcus faecium. Once in the intestine, they interact with the flora in a certain part of it. This composition allows you to maintain the "correct" intestinal flora and participate in the processes of fermentation and metabolism. Thanks to the easily separable capsule, it can be used both in adulthood and in newborns. Produced in Slovenia.
"Bifiform" is an eubiotic consisting of two types of bacteria: Enterococcus faecium, Bifidobacterium longum.
