Active ingredient and effect
As numerous studies in recent years and decades have shown, intestinal microcultures are involved in many processes in the human body. More than 80 percent of our immune system is located in the intestine. A deficiency of these microcultures therefore often leads to a decrease in the body’s defenses with a weakening of the immune system.
Kijimea® Immun contains a high-dose combination of three bacterial strains (microorganisms), as they occur naturally in the intestine. These are bacteria of the genera ‘Lactobacillus’ (Lactobacillus plantarum LP-02, Lactobacillus rhamnosus LR-04) and ‘Bifidobacterium’ (Bifidobacterium lactis BS-01). After ingestion of the microorganisms with food, they settle in the area of the intestinal mucosa.
By influencing the immune system of the intestine, immune-boosting effects can be achieved throughout the human body. At the same time, numerous metabolic processes in the intestine are supported – among other things, bacteria are involved in the production of numerous vitamins and messenger substances. The exact mechanisms of action are not yet fully understood. However, the effectiveness of a high-dose therapy has been proven in studies conducted by Kijimea®.
Kijimea® for children
Kijimea® products can also be used by children. There are no known side effects in children either (apart from the rare occurrence of flatulence at the beginning of the therapy). Especially in children under four years of age, the natural intestinal flora, which is crucial for numerous processes of the immune system, is not yet fully developed. Therefore, especially in children, infections occur more frequently, which can be fought with the help of Kijimea® Immune.Kijimea® Immun strengthens the immune system and significantly reduces the number and severity of infections.
Kijimea® during pregnancy
To date, there are no studies that show any risk to mother or child when taking Kijimea® Immune. The strains of bacteria contained in the preparation do not reach the baby’s circulation, as the bacteria only settle in the mother’s intestine and are not absorbed by the body. For this reason, no danger to the child can be assumed. Nevertheless, the taking of all medications during pregnancy should be discussed with the treating doctor. If possible, the intake of medication during pregnancy should be avoided.
