PLANT'S PRODUCTION PROBIOTIC “NARINE” Dry biological mass of “Narine” culture is lyophilizated biological mass of living lactobacteria Lactobacillus acidophilus, strain 317/402 isolated and described by Ph.D., D.Sc. in Biology L. Erzinkyan. The strain was officially registered in 1964 (Inventor’s Certificate No. 163473 dated April 7, 1964).“NARINE” is powder, in 150-mg capsules from cream-colored to light beige with a pleasant sour milk flavor and odor. Upon solution in water gives homogeneous opaque suspension.

Physiological and biological properties of “NARINE”. Acido-lactic bacteria are natural inhabitants of human intestine accompanying him/her over the whole life and ensuring stability of the main vital functions. “Narine” bacteria are very durable, well adapted in the intestine, and resistant to many antibiotics and chemotherapeutic drugs. Vital activity of acido-lactic bacteria provides assimilation of calcium, phosphorus, proteins, carbohydrates and other matters. They possess high vitamin forming ability, synthesizing more than 70% of vitamins in the organism. Acido-lactic bacteria and products of their vitality neutralize toxic metabolic products (indole, skatole, etc.) and rapidly eliminate them from the organism, favors adaptation in the intestine of many forms of obligatory micro flora (Escherichia coli, Enterococci, bifid flora, etc.), thus sharply boost immune status and hasten immune response to infection penetration. Being of high antibiotic activity “Narine” strains suppress pathogenic and conditionally pathogenic bacteria (pathogens of dysentery, typhus, paratyphoid A and B, E. coli, staphylococcus aureus, yersinias, klebsiellas, etc.) and promote rapid recovery, to the great extent improve functioning of the liver, pancreas, intestine. Indications for the use. “NARINE” is a supplementary nutrition for newborns. “NARINE” in capsules and prepared on its basis fermented dairy product “Narine” are used to maintain the composition and biological activity of the intestinal normal microflora, prophylaxis of dysbacteriosis while taking antibiotics.

When prescribed to infants capsules should be open and contents dissolved in a small amount of water or other liquid of room temperature (soups, juices, etc.). In gynecologic diseases a tampon medicated in suspension is used or syringing is carried out with a solution prepared at a rate of 1 to 2 capsules in 10-15 ml of water or sodium chloride solution. No reactions on administered “Narine” have been registered. No contra-indications have been revealed. Use of “Narine”.
