PHARMACOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION
D 30.4 Pre- and probiotics
PHARMACOLOGICAL ACTION
Bifidobacteria are anaerobic, rod shaped, Gram-positive bacteria that normally colonise the human colon. Lactobacillus refers to a group of lactic acid producing Gram-positive rods that are obligate and facultative anaerobes. Bifidobacteria and lactobacilli are considered “friendly” bacteria and taken for the purpose of re-colonising areas where they normally would occur.
Probiotics may also assist with the removal of heavy metal contaminants from the human intestine.
Bacillus coagulans belongs to group of beneficial bacteria called sporebiotics. These bacteria are more resistant to heat and thus survive longer at room temperature. They also have the ability to withstand damage from antibiotics and will survive if the probiotic is taken simultaneously with an antibiotic. Sporebiotics like Bacillus coagulans also have the unique feature that they support the growth of several lactobacilli and bifidobacterial probiotic species.
INDICATIONS
When ingested on a regular basis, HEALTH MATRIX FLORA should improve or normalise the microbial balance in the human intestine and thereby improve the functioning of the digestive tract/gut.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
Hypersensitivity to Bacillus coagulans, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus salivarius, Bifidobacterium bifidum, Bifidobacterium longum, Bifidobacterium breve and Streptococcus thermophilus or any of the other ingredients of HEALTH MATRIX FLORA (see COMPOSITION).
WARNINGS AND SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
HEALTH MATRIX FLORA should be used with caution in patients with immunodeficiency since it may cause pathogenic colonisation.
HEALTH MATRIX FLORA should be used with caution in patients with short bowel syndrome since impaired gut integrity in these patients may predispose them to pathogenic infection from Lactobacillus.
HEALTH MATRIX FLORA may reduce total cholesterol and thus interact with cholesterol laboratory tests.
Effects on ability to drive and use machines:
Caution is advised before driving a vehicle or operating machinery until the effects of HEALTH MATRIX FLORA are known.
INTERACTIONS
Concomitant use of certain antibiotics with HEALTH MATRIX FLORA may decrease its effectiveness. HEALTH MATRIX FLORA and antibiotics should be separated by at least 2 hours.

SAMESTELLING
Aktiewe bestanddele:
Elke kapsule bevat ≥ 400 miljoen KVE (kolonie vormende eenhede) van elk van die volgende bakteriële stamme:
Bacillus coagulans (spoorbiotika), Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus salivarius, Bifidobacterium bifidum, Bifidobacterium longum, Bifidobacterium breve en Streptococcus thermophilus.
Onaktiewe bestanddele:

Bevat geen kunsmatige geurmiddels, tartrasien, gluten, suiwel, gis, suiker of sout nie.
FARMAKOLOGIESE KLASSIFIKASIE
D 30.4 Pre-en-probiotika
FARMAKOLOGIESE WERKING
Farmakodinamiese eienskappe:
Bifidobakterieë is anaerobiese, staafvormige, Gram positiewe bakterieë wat normaalweg die menslike kolon koloniseer. Lactobacillus verwys na ‘n groep laktaatsuur produserende, Gram positiewe, staafvormige bakterieë wat obligaat en fakultatiewe anaerobies is. Bifidobakterieë en lactobacilli word beskou as ‘vriendelike’ bakterieë en word ingeneem met die doel om areas van die dermkanaal waar hulle normaalweg voorkom te koloniseer. Probiotika kan ook potensieël bydra tot die verwydering van swaar metale uit die menslike dermakanaal.
Bacillus coagulans behoort aan 'n groep voordelige bakterieë genaamd spoorbiotika. Hierdie bakterieë is meer bestand teen hitte en oorleef dus langer by kamertemperatuur. Hulle het ook die vermoë om skade van antibiotika te weerstaan en sal oorleef as die probiotika gelyktydig met 'n antibiotikum geneem word. Spoorbiotika soos Bacillus coagulans het ook die unieke eienskap dat hulle die groei van verskeie lactobacilli- en bifidobakteriese probiotiese spesies ondersteun.
INDIKASIES
Health Matrix Flora is ‘n unieke vermenging van probiotiese bakterieë wat indien gereeld ingeneem word die normale mikrobiale balans in die dermkanaal kan verbeter. Dit kan verbeterde dermkanaal funksionering tot gevolg hê.
KONTRA-INDIKASIES
Indien u hipersensitief (allergies) is vir Bacillus coagulans, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus salivarius, Bifidobacterium bifidum, Bifidobacterium longum, Bifidobacterium breve en Streptococcus thermophilus of enige van die ander bestanddele van Health Matrix Flora (kyk WAT Health Matrix Flora BEVAT).
WAARSKUWINGS EN SPESIALE VOORSORGMAATREËLS
Health Matrix Flora moet met sorg in pasiente wat immuun gebreke het aangewend word aangesien dit potensieel patogeniese kolonisasie kan veroorsaak.
Health Matrix Flora moet met sorg in pasiente met kort derm sindroom gebruik word aangesien hierdie pasiente ingeperkte dermkanaal integriteit het en hulle moontlik patogeniese infeksie van Lactobacillus kan ontwikkel.
Health Matrix Flora kan totale cholesterol vlakke verlaag en moet dus in oorleg met u gesondheidsorgdeskundige gebruik word voor die neem van bloed toetse.
Uitwerking op die vermoë om te bestuur en masjiene te gebruik:
Versigtigheid word aanbeveel voordat ‘n voertuig bestuur of masjinerie hanteer word, totdat dit bekend is wat die uitwerking van Health Matrix Flora is.
INTERAKSIES
Gesamentlike gebruik van Health Matrix Flora met sekere antibiotika kan tot verminderde effektiwiteit lei. Die inname van Health Matrix Flora en antibiotika moet met ten minste 2 ure geskei word.
SWANGERSKAP EN BORSVOEDING
Veiligheid tydens swangerskap of borsvoeding is nie bepaal nie.
