Eubicor belongs to the group of biologically active food additives. The main purpose is to improve the intestinal microflora by increasing the number of beneficial bifidobacteria and lactobacilli. Due to the presence of wheat bran in the composition, the dietary supplement has sorbent properties. This allows the drug to be prescribed for intoxication with alcohol, drugs, infectious agents, as well as in dermatology.
Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics
The effect of wheat bran on intestinal function
The mechanism of action is based on the ability of Eubicor to influence the state of intestinal microflora. Fiber from wheat bran decomposes into monosaccharides - an ideal environment in the intestines for the proliferation of saccharolytic microorganisms , including bifidobacteria and lactobacilli . The development of favorable microflora is activated and pathogenic and opportunistic microorganisms are displaced, and the toxic effect caused by their vital activity is reduced.
In addition, fiber stimulates peristalsis, its active breakdown and formation of specific acids reduces the pH of foods in the large intestine.
Action of Saccharomycetes
Saccharomyces (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) or, in other words, wine yeast in an inactivated state are a source of a number of vitamins B , , , C , D3 , as well as micro-, macroelements and almost all amino acids. When the body is saturated with useful substances, overall immunity increases and resistance to pathogenic viruses and bacteria increases.
The beneficial effects of Eubicor boil down to:
- eliminating heartburn , belching, unpleasant taste or bitterness in the mouth, attacks of nausea, heaviness in the abdomen, bloating and various manifestations of stool instability;
- reducing the risk of allergic reactions and cancer;
- restoration and normalization of the composition of microflora, stool, cholesterol and glucose in the blood, bile secretion, synthetic processes of biologically active substances;
- neutralization of exogenous and endogenous toxins;
- increasing the level of antioxidant protection of the body and enhancing immunity;
- prevention of urolithiasis and cholelithiasis .
The components of this dietary supplement are not affected by other organs besides the intestines, including being resistant to aggressive and acidic stomach contents. All nutrients are absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract during food digestion. Excretion occurs naturally - through defecation.

What do you need to know to avoid constipation?
According to statistics, from 30 to 43% of the population suffer from chronic constipation these days. But statistics only take into account those people who consulted a doctor, and how many are there who are trying to cope with the problem on their own? What is constipation? This is a delay in bowel movement for more than 48 hours. Modern people, faced with the problem of constipation, often do not take this illness very seriously, not suspecting that this problem can lead to very unpleasant consequences. Meanwhile, constipation is the root cause of many diseases! When decomposing waste products stagnate in the intestines, in which pathogenic bacteria accumulate, the protective functions of the intestinal walls are weakened, and toxins enter the bloodstream and spread throughout the body - self-poisoning of the body begins. A person suffering from constipation for a long time may experience a decrease in appetite, belching of air, and a bad taste in the mouth. Often the ability to work decreases, headaches and pain in the muscles of the body occur. There is general nervousness, depressed mood, and sleep disturbances. As a result of constipation, the body gradually loses its resistance and can be attacked by a serious disease at any time. Constipation is a risk factor for colon cancer. Among other things, delayed bowel movements contribute to metabolic disorders and, as a result, weight gain, unhealthy complexion, dull hair, brittle nails... There is a misconception that constipation is easily and effectively treated with laxatives. But taking laxatives often only makes the situation worse. The fact is that most of these drugs act one-time, irritating the mucous membrane of the large intestine and provoking its peristalsis. In addition, some of them can cause drug dependence, which leads to lazy gut syndrome. It is also practiced to use enemas for constipation, which leads to the leaching of beneficial microflora from the intestines and the development of dysbiosis. And frequent use of enemas can lead to the fact that the intestines stop working altogether. Treating constipation is not easy or quick. And the approach to this delicate problem must be comprehensive. Firstly, it is necessary to normalize sleep and wakefulness patterns, increase the physical activity of the body (walking, physical exercise). Secondly, you must maintain regular, nutritious meals three to four times a day, eating vegetables, fruits, fermented milk products and limiting sweets and starchy foods, and the volume of fluid consumed should be at least 1.5-2.0 liters of water per day . And the third, very important element in the treatment of constipation is the restoration of intestinal microflora. To normalize microflora, prebiotics made from dietary fiber are widely used, which, without irritating the intestines, promote bowel movements. Such products, due to their components, promote the growth and development of their own beneficial microflora, which leads to the normalization of stool and motor-evacuation functions of the intestines, activation of the processes of digestion and absorption of the main components of food, suppression of pathogenic microflora, neutralization of endogenous toxins and allergens. Insoluble dietary fiber, which is part of prebiotics, helps to liquefy intestinal contents and accelerate intestinal passage, which has a positive effect on intestinal function during constipation. In our country, a widely used drug of this group is EUBIKOR, which combines the beneficial properties of dietary fiber and inactivated yeast culture Saccharomyces cerevisiae (vini). The EUBIKOR prebiotic complex activates digestion processes, softens the intestinal contents, facilitates bowel movements, effectively retains water in the intestines, and promotes the growth and development of a person’s own (NATIVE) microflora.
How to use?
For constipation, EUBIKOR should be taken 30 minutes before. before meals, with 200 ml of water. During the day it is necessary to maintain a drinking regime of 1.5-2 liters of liquid. Recommended duration of use is 3-4 weeks. For preventive purposes, take 1-2 sachets 3 times a day, washed down with water (150-200 ml), for 3-4 weeks, observing the drinking regime. Solving the problem of constipation allows you to solve many health issues, which means significantly improving your quality of life!
