A person’s health, his vigorous state, and immunity greatly depend on the composition of the intestinal microflora. The correct composition of microflora is the strongest barrier to infection that enters the body with poor-quality food and water. Stimbifide helps neutralize toxins, stop the reproduction and death of bacteria dangerous to health.
Research by leading Russian scientists has shown the advantage and importance of colonizing the intestines with prebiotics. The prebiotic Stimbifid is a new generation medicine that contains microorganisms necessary for the human body, similar to those received from the mother at birth, but which have disappeared as a result of a number of reasons.
Recommendations for use:
The intestinal microbiota of a healthy person consists of 90% bifidobacteria - microorganisms necessary for normal human life.
Poor nutrition, bad habits, adverse environmental influences, and the use of antibiotics reduce the number of bifidobacteria in the intestines, and their place is immediately taken by pathogenic microbes harmful to humans.
This disturbance of the biological balance between opportunistic and beneficial microbiota is called dysbiosis, which leads to a significant decrease in colonization resistance of the gastrointestinal mucosa. Unfortunately, currently about 95% of the Russian population suffers from intestinal dysbiosis.
With this clinical and laboratory syndrome, normal digestion is disrupted, diarrhea or constipation, cramping pain in the abdominal area, increased gas formation, and allergic reactions appear. In the future, this condition leads to deterioration of the liver and pancreas, decreased immunity, thrombus formation, diseases of the musculoskeletal system and other pathologies.
Why do you need Stimbifid?
Such a serious imbalance of microflora is usually called dysbiosis. Its symptoms are familiar to many: abdominal pain, all kinds of dyspeptic symptoms (from bloating and nausea to constipation and diarrhea). A person quickly gets tired, looks bad, becomes weak, and may lose or gain excessive weight.
You need to take care of your intestinal microflora!
The danger of dysbiosis also lies in its negative impact on the functions of the entire digestive tract, the body’s ability to fight infections and neutralize toxins.
The body of a patient with dysbacteriosis almost does not absorb calcium and iron, the synthesis of vitamins is impaired, immunity decreases, and the risk of infectious, allergic and oncological diseases increases.
Description of composition and action:
Metaprebiotic STIMBIFID PLUS* is an innovative development of Russian scientists of the Scientific Society "Microbiota" based on in-depth fundamental research of intestinal microbiota, as well as safe and effective methods for its correction. The research formed the basis of the “Scientific Discovery” and is protected by three patents of the Russian Federation.
The metaprebiotic STIMBIFIDE PLUS restores the individual intestinal microbiota, creating priority conditions for the proliferation of bifidobacteria, lactobacilli and E. coli, which, inhibiting the growth of pathogenic microbiota, displace it from the body. A significant increase in normobiota leads to an increase in colonization resistance of the gastrointestinal mucosa.
Metaprebiotic STIMBIFID PLUS is a further development and deep optimization of the prebiotic Stimbifid and consists of two components - prebiotic and metabiotic.
A narrowly targeted prebiotic component - natural fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and fructopolysaccharides (FPS) with an optimized ratio of short (GFn, n = 2-8) and long (GFn, n = 2-60) chains, which ensures the supply of bifidobacteria with exclusive nutrition along the entire length of the thick intestines.
The metabiotic component is calcium lactate. It is a powerful stimulator of growth and reproduction of normobiota (RF patents).
The combination in STIMBIFIDE PLUS of both metabiotics and prebiotics with different mechanisms of action contributes to:
- safe and effective restoration of one’s own (individual) intestinal microbiota, including while taking antibiotics;
- increasing colonization resistance of the gastrointestinal mucosa during infectious pathology;
- eradication of Helicobacter pylori;
- eliminating constipation ( effect of dietary fiber).
Who is the drug indicated for?
About 90% of patients use Stimbifid for intestinal dysbiosis. In pediatrics, the drug helps not only to produce bifidobacteria and strengthen the immune system, but also to increase the beneficial properties of vaccination. Stimbifid is required:
- for the treatment of chronic and acute intestinal infections and their prevention
- treatment of chronic colitis and functional disorders associated with dysbacteriosis (flatulence, diarrhea, constipation, nausea)
- to restore and increase immune strength in case of allergic reactions and diseases (exudative diathesis), immunodeficiencies, after treatment with antibiotics and chemotherapy
- in the treatment of osteoporosis, rickets, diseases of the joints and spine (promotes the absorption of calcium, strengthens bones)
The drug Stimbifid is also beneficial in the treatment of atherosclerosis, liver diseases, respiratory diseases, prevention of cancer, and in dietetics (reduces the level of the hormone that makes you feel hungry).
Dosage and methods of application:
Stimbifide Plus is available in the form of flat oval white tablets weighing 500 mg.
- adults and children over 14 years old: 2 tablets. 3 times a day with meals. Duration of treatment is 1 month. The number of courses is not limited;
- children over 3 years old: 1 tablet. 3 times a day with meals.
- ** In accordance with clinical data, for eradicating Helicobacter pylori is taking Stimbifida plus at a dose of 2 tablets 3 times a day for adults 30 minutes before meals for 28 days.
In order to adapt the gastrointestinal tract to fructosaccharides, it is possible to smoothly increase the daily dose to the recommended dose over 2–3 days. So, for example, for adults and children (from 14 years old) on the first and second day - 1 tablet. x 3 times a day, on the third – 2 tablets. x 3 times a day (full daily dosage). Likewise for other age groups.
Side effects
The dietary supplement is considered harmless, which confirms the possibility of its administration to six-month-old children. But the manufacturer notes that in some cases its use may cause the development of local allergic reactions.
Overdose
No cases of overdose with Stimbifide have been reported.
Contraindications
The supplement is not prescribed to people with individual intolerance, nursing or pregnant patients. The drug should not be given to children under six months of age.
During pregnancy
Stimbifide is contraindicated during pregnancy and breastfeeding
Stimbifide should be taken with extreme caution during pregnancy. The same goes for the breastfeeding period.
Despite the fact that pregnancy and lactation are included in the list of contraindications, some doctors prescribe a dietary supplement to lactating and pregnant women if the expected benefits of its use outweigh the risks. In this case, the supplement is taken under the supervision of a doctor and its use is discontinued if illness occurs.

Composition of the drug Stimbifid
The carefully thought-out composition of Stimbifida consists of fructooligosaccharides (raftilin) and fructopolysaccharides (raftilose P-95), the effect of which is enhanced by a complex of vitamins. Stimbifide and raftilin are of very high quality, produced in Belgium. They create favorable conditions for increasing the number of beneficial bifidobacteria.
The mineral and vitamin complex was developed in Switzerland. It contains antioxidants such as vitamins E and C, the most valuable minerals zinc and selenium, and the most important B vitamins (B1, B3, B5 and B6, biotin, B12).
Ascorbic acid is a powerful antioxidant, neutralizes the effects of many allergens, improves immunity, and reduces the risk of blood clots. Vitamin E (tocopherol) - improves the supply of oxygen to organs and tissues, prevents the formation of new blood clots, dissolves existing ones, and protects a number of useful substances from oxidation.
The presence of antioxidants also ensures the anti-inflammatory effect of Stimbifide; they contribute to the development of immunity, normalization of the functioning of the heart and blood vessels. In addition, zinc is necessary for protein synthesis, promotes the absorption of vitamin E, reduces cholesterol deposits, and creates immunity at the cellular level.
The role of prebiotics cannot be overestimated...
Selenium promotes the formation of antioxidant compounds and protects the body from the action of harmful substances that are formed during the decay and half-life of toxins, and neutralizes many carcinogens. Without B vitamins, normal metabolic processes in the body, the functioning of the heart, endocrine and reproductive systems, and the full functioning of the brain and nervous system are impossible.
The value of raftilose (inulin) and raftilose P-95 (oligofructose) lies in the fact that they are not digested by either the enzymes of the stomach or the small intestine, and therefore enter the large intestine as a nutrient medium for the development and growth of beneficial intestinal bifidobacteria.
