What is a goiter?

In the gut of every human innumerable different bacteria. However, don't be afraid — this is normal. In addition, it is not only normal, but is impossible without them a stable job as the intestine, so in General and of the organism itself.

Dysbiosis is an imbalance referred to representatives of the microflora in the intestines, causing very unpleasant symptoms for a person. However, at the moment the specialists ' opinions are different: some believe that it is not a disease, and the body must cure goiter to develop immunity.

Prebiotics are organic substances that stimulate the increase in the number of beneficial bacteria. It is known to all proteins, carbohydrates and vitamins, fats do not belong to the prebiotics. They are made from natural components. Since babies can be a special manifestation of drug reactions, associated with a weak immune system, prebiotics are available to them in forms different from those prescribed for adults. Basically, it's the syrups, powders or granules. Their main function:

1. the weakening of the process of the development of harmful bacteria and enhancing the growth of beneficial,
2. the cleansing of the mucus and increased flatulence,
3. the healing of damaged intestinal walls,
4. normalization of the bowel,
