Biofir® Biofarmatec 28 Stick

Biofir® Biofarmatec Food Supplement

BIOFIR® is a product that can rightfully be included in the category of probiotics thanks to the presence of lactobacilli and bifidobacteria balanced according to the right ratio, completed by the addition of Digestive Enzymes, Ovotransferrin and Vitamin D.

To be used in all cases of intestinal dysbiosis: antibiotic therapy, diagnostic tests (endoscopy), irritable bowel syndrome, Chron's disease, Gastric Reflux Diseases.

COMPOSITION

Bifidobacterium lactis

Provides natural defenses against pathogenic bacteria through the production of locally acting antibiotics, betteriocins. It is also able to reduce intestinal inflammation that occurs in the course of an imbalance of the bacterial flora and to restore the integrity of the intestinal mucosal barrier, avoiding the migration of pathogenic bacteria towards the genitourinary tracts. It shows particular resistance to bile and is therefore able to colonize the upper part of the intestine.

Bifidobacterium longum

Provides natural defenses against pathogenic bacteria through the production of locally acting antibiotics, betteriocins. It is highly present in childhood but dramatically decreases in adulthood. It possesses proven probiotic activities, its presence has been associated with many health benefits including improving lactose tolerance and preventing diarrhea, food allergies and pathogen colonization. Some strains of B. longum have been shown to have an antioxidant effect by inhibiting the peroxidation of linoleic acid, a process that results in the creation of lipid hydroperoxides which decompose into highly reactive radicals associated with aging and diseases related to age.

Lactobacillus Rhamnosus

Among the lactobacilli it is certainly the one of greatest interest and among the most studied for its multiple properties. As Bifidobacteriumlactis demonstrates resistance to bile and stomach acid, it is able to prevent infections of the renal tract and urinary tract as well as obviously having a probiotic action in the intestine where it is able to counteract the action of pathogenic bacteria and decrease the duration of diarrhea.

Lactobacillus Plantarum

This bacterial strain is characterized by the ability to transform oxygen into hydrogen peroxide, which is important for fighting numerous harmful germs in the human body, specifically this action is carried out in the intestinal tract.

OvotransferrinOtrf

Ovotransferrin, also called conalbumin, is a compound egg white glycoprotein that has a molecular weight of 76,000 daltons and contains approximately 700 amino acids.

Ovotransferrin constitutes about 13% of the albumen and among the various protective functions of Otrf, the most important is probably the antibacterial activity, which is directly related to the ability of Otrf to bind iron (Fe3 +), making it unavailable for bacterial growth.

The antiviral activity of Otrf was first demonstrated against avian herpesvirus Marek's disease virus (MDV). It has been hypothesized that the antiviral activity of ovotransferrin is associated with two bioactive peptide fragments of Otrf capable of blocking the virus infection DQKDEYELL and KDLLFK.

The Otrf also has antioxidant properties by mimicking the action of superoxide dismutase which is responsible for the reduction of superoxide radicals (O2). Peptides derived from Otrf showed synergistic antioxidant effects with vitamin C.

Otrf hydrolyzate (obtained using enzymes such as trypsin and α-chymotrypsin) has shown protective effects against oxidative stress including DNA damage in human leukocytes.

Among the anti-inflammatory properties of OTRF in birds it has been scientifically proven that during inflammation the levels of Ortf in the blood remain elevated as long as the inflammation persists. More recently, two tripeptides, IRW and IQW, both derived from hydrolysis of Otrf, have been found that attenuate TNF-α-induced inflammatory responses and oxidative stress in vascular endothelial cells. Other peptides derived from Ortf hydrolysis have shown immunomodulatory activity against T cells and macrophage stimulating activities in vitro, indicating that they may also be good candidates for pharmaceutical use in humans.

Ortf's hydrolysis products also have very strong anticancer effects against colon (HCT-116) and breast cancer (MCF-7) as they induce apoptosis on malignant cells. Just as antihypertensive properties have been demonstrated, in fact, a subsidiary antihypertensive function of Otrf was detected in the KVREGT peptide of Otrf showing both an ACE-inhibitory action and a vasodilatory activity.

Vitamin D

Vitamin D and its prohormones have been the focus of a growing number of studies that have demonstrated their function not only in calcium metabolism and bone formation, but also their interaction with the immune system. In particular, it modulates the activity of the immune system in the intestine and can influence the composition of the microbiome.

A further favorable role of vitamin D, scientifically recognized only recently, but actually exploited for decades unconsciously in respiratory medicine, concerns the ability of this compound to modulate the activity of the immune system:

• Promoting it, when it is necessary to fight infections
• Attenuating it, when it is excessive and gives rise to chronic inflammatory or autoimmune diseases.

Digestive enzymes

Enzymes are essential for the well-being of the organism and the insufficiency of even a single enzyme can cause serious disorders related to indigestibility and malabsorption

• Proteases - break the bonds of proteins to form shorter amino acid chains
• Amylases - reduce polysaccharides to disaccharides - lactose, maltose and sucrose
• Lipases - break down the bonds of triglycerides turning them into individual fatty acids and glycerol
• Cellulase - responsible for the digestion of specific carbohydrates such as cellulose
• Lactase - responsible for the digestion of lactose (Galactose + Glucose).
