MAXILAC BABY (granules)
and on the third day it became worse for me, the temperature was over 38, the nausea was severe.
Having feared complications for both myself and the child, I called an experienced friend who had fought infections several times in a hospital setting, and when the situation became critical, we prescribed treatment. Of course, this should not be done under any circumstances, but going to the doctor did not seem realistic, and the drugs are quite safe. So we prescribed ourselves the antimicrobial drug “Enterofuril”, “Smecta” as a sorbent, help for the pancreas “Creon”, and beneficial microorganisms that should fight the unhealthy ones and restore the microflora. If other drugs were the same for both the child and me, then the bacteria were still taken according to age. There wasn’t much time to figure out which microorganisms would be more useful and more effective, we acted on the principle that it wouldn’t be superfluous, so I opted for the synbiotic “Maxilak baby”, since it combines both a probiotic and a prebiotic, to Moreover, the number of cultures of beneficial bacteria is greater than in Linux.
It contains 9 cultures that will suppress pathogenic microorganisms and restore the microflora qualitatively and quantitatively. And in order to extend the “vitality” of these beneficial microbes (probiotics), the composition also contains a prebiotic, that is, a nutrient medium for probiotics.
The indications for use include exactly our problem: intestinal infection, diarrhea. In general, something that clearly needs restoration of microflora. There are indications of energy value on the packaging, perhaps this is important for some.
There is an expiration date on the bottom of the box.
Storage conditions do not require low temperatures, the main thing is that it should not exceed 25 degrees Celsius.
You can read more about the drug in the instructions; in any case, this is a drug and recommendations for its use should be given by a doctor; in the review I will only describe my experience of use.
The method of administration of the drug is convenient in several respects: 1. Taken once a day with meals. 2. One dose is in an individual sachet.
Even if the box is lost, the expiration date is duplicated on each sachet.
There is a breakaway line for opening.
Inside the sachet there is white powder.
I dissolved it in a small amount of water. There were no specific instructions in the directions for use, such as temperature, so I used room temperature water.
The result was a white liquid (more like a suspension, since the particles did not dissolve completely), slightly sweet. There were no other tastes besides sweetness. And it seems like there shouldn’t be any problems with taking a fairly tasty drink, but my son doesn’t really like anything sweet, so I had to give it through a syringe.
The duration of administration should not be less than 10 days, which is the number of sachets in the package. If necessary and prescribed by a specialist, the duration of treatment can be extended to a month.
The set of measures I described at the beginning of the review ensured the cessation of diarrhea and nausea and restored our appetite to both of us on the second day. If we stopped taking antimicrobial drugs and sorbents on the third day, we drank the full course of the synbiotic “Maxilak”, as expected. And what I want to note is that my son’s digestion has improved significantly and his stool has improved. For me, after the course of Maxilac everything became better than before this story with the intestinal infection. So it would seem that this is a drug from that series where its work is not particularly visible and it is difficult to catch the effectiveness, but my experience of use suggests that the synbiotic really improves the intestinal microflora and helps in the fight against intestinal infections

Hi all!
Today I will tell you new information that I think few people know, since I myself only found out a few weeks ago. The information is very useful and interesting.
As you know, I am now looking for any available and modern means to boost the immunity of my three-year-old child, who is constantly suffering from ARVI complicated by a bacterial infection.
So, I have already learned that we need to increase the local immunity of the mucous membranes, that is, force the body to produce immunoglobulin A (IgA). In total, there are 5 types of immunoglobulins in the human body, but to prevent ENT diseases we need immunoglobulin A.
To do this, I have already administered a course of IRS-19 to my child.
Now he has been going to kindergarten for 2 weeks; before that, he usually got sick after 1 week.
What else can boost mucosal immunity, as well as general immunity?
It turns out that these are everyone’s favorite probiotics and prebiotics!
Probiotics are bacteria or other microorganisms that are non-pathogenic to humans, have antagonistic activity against pathogenic and conditionally pathogenic microorganisms and ensure the restoration of normal human microflora or perform other beneficial functions for humans.
Prebiotics are food components that are not digested or absorbed in the upper gastrointestinal tract, but are fermented by the microflora of the human large intestine and stimulate its growth and vital activity.
Probiotics are live microorganisms, while prebiotics are food. I think the differences are clear.
It turns out that these microorganisms in the intestines form up to 70% of our immunity and weigh approximately 2 kg of a person’s weight; there are about 500 types of different bacteria!!!
Can you imagine how much???
And in pharmacies they sell us probiotics containing, basically, only 2 types of beneficial bacteria, mainly Lactobacillus acidophilus and some kind of bifidobacterium.
In general, there are places where there is only one acidophilus bacillus, and there are places where there are acidophilus bacillus and fungi.
When taking antibiotics, our pediatrician advised us to take a probiotic. It again contains only 2 stamps - Lactobacillus acidophilus LA-5 and Bifidobacterium BB-12.
I began to read everything in detail and came across completely new studies, that is, a blog where a girl reads studies in English and writes what she gives to her child to boost immunity.
Meet! A new development by scientists called Lactobacillus GG, this is a subspecies of the bacterium Lactobacillus rhamnosus.
The Lactobacillus rhamnosus strain ATCC 53103 (synonyms: Lactobacillus GG and LGG ®) was isolated from the intestines of a healthy person in 1983 and patented in 1985 by Sherwood Gorbach and Barry Goldin. The "GG" characters in the strain name are taken from the first letters of their last names. In their patent, as well as in later publications, Gorbach and Goldin note that this strain is resistant to gastric acid and bile and, therefore, after oral administration, the bacteria reach the colon alive.
Why is this particular bacterium called LGG so important to us???
This bacterium is the most studied at the moment (about 400 studies) and is the No. 1 probiotic for children, and also not just a probiotic, but an immunobiotic, that is, it boosts immunity!!!
See for yourself what this wonderful bacteria is capable of, I already love it!)))
According to numerous studies, interesting facts have been revealed that Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG:
• prevents destructive changes in tissues caused by E. coli
• effectively fights pathogens such as Clostridium, Bacteroides, Pseudomonas, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus and Entereobacteria
• reduces the frequency and duration of acute infectious diarrhea, which allows the abolition of intravenous therapy and hospitalization
• LGG suppresses rotaviruses
• according to a Finnish study from 2008, taking LGG together with bifidobacteria in infants from 2 months to a year reduced inflammation of acute otitis media in the early stages by 60% of placebo, eliminating the use of antibiotics
• probiotic Lactobacillus GG prevent streptococcal throat infections and allergic rhinitis
• taking LGG reduces the number of Staphylococcus aureus and beta-hemolytic streptococci in the human sinuses, while the LGG bacteria themselves do not colonize the nose (research from the University of Finland in Turku)
• lactobacilli lgg reduces serious liver damage in alcohol-related diseases or with increased alcohol consumption (LGG denatures toxins that damage the liver, reduces inflammatory reactions and produces peptides that balance immune responses)
• Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG restore the integrity of the epithelium of the intestinal lining, as they produce a special protein that is integrated into damaged intestinal walls
• reduces the body’s allergic reactions to pathogens such as flower and tree pollen• LGG reduces the frequency and severity of skin diseases, such as eczema
Moreover, Lactobacillus GG just increases the amount of immunoglobulins A, which increases local immunity of the mucous membranes and protects us from ENT diseases, and also activates killer cells during infection!!! This is what I need!!!
But it’s very difficult to find probiotics that contain this wonderful Lactobacillus GG in Russia! And not only in Russia, in America there is also very little on the iherb website.
In Russia I found such probiotics - Bifiform baby sachet, Bifiform complex in tablets, they are not available in pharmacies! There is also a new Normobact L. It is also not available in all pharmacies.
And now the new Maxilac baby in a sachet has come out!!!
The hero of my post contains this wonderful bacterium Lactobacillus GG!!!!!
Which suggests that the advertising does not lie, and this is indeed the most modern probiotic today, which contains not 1 or 2 bacteria, but as many as 9! And it also contains a prebiotic (fructooligosaccharides)!
Why is it so important to take probiotics with prebiotics?
“Most of these bacteria do not stay in our body. They pass through the body without being able to organize a colony."
Microorganisms, having lived for some time in the body, simply die, and we need to increase their colony; only prebiotics can do this.
Therefore, Maxilak combines probiotics with prebiotics.
Already on the front side of the package, the manufacturer tells us that the drug contains Lactobacillus GG.
The price of the probiotic is 447 rubles for 10 sachets. Produced in Poland. Can be taken from 4 months.
This is what the sachets look like, for such a price there are very few sachets, I’ll tell you, because children from two years old and adults need to take 2 sachets a day! A package of 450 rubles for 5 days? Robbery again?
Instructions:
Just my child was born by caesarean section, I breastfed for only a month, there was no milk, although I gave him the best mixture of Nanny with prebiotics in goat milk, because he was allergic to cow protein, but his mother’s milk will not replace this , but the child’s immunity depends on this.
How to use?
Children from 4 months to 2 years old take 1 sachet, and from 2 years old and adults take 2 sachets per day.
They recommend that children over 3 years old drink their capsules, but the capsules do not contain LactobacillusGG!!!!!
I gave my child 1 sachet a day in order to somehow extend the course by 10 days.
As for the course, I read that to restore mucous membranes and boost immunity, you need to take probiotics for a course of 3 months!
Let's calculate how much money is needed for a course of Maxilac and go broke?????For a month, for example, you need 2682 rubles, if you take 2 sachets a day, that is, 6 packs.
No, we won’t go broke, there is iherb!!!
There is a company called Culturelle, which produces sachets and chewable tablets of only Lactobacillus GG bacteria. I have already ordered a course of 30 sachets for my child, which costs 1800 rubles, of course it is also expensive, but the child’s health and mine are more important to me, because he constantly infects me with his diseases And a lot of money is also spent on medications, and besides, you constantly have to take harmful antibiotics!
Culturelle also produces capsules for adults, but they also cost 1,800 rubles.
For myself, I ordered a probiotic complex with LactobacillusGG from Solgar, the price is cheaper.
For reference:
Currently, probiotic products containing this strain are being promoted by Valio, Finland. She owns the LGG® trademark. Valio produces LGG-containing probiotic yoghurts and fermented milk products Gefilus, Vifit, as well as fermented milk products Gefilus Max, containing several probiotics, including two strains of Lactobacillus rhamnosus: GG and Lc705. Under license from Valio, yoghurts, fruit curds and fermented milk kefir products Bio Balance are produced in Russia.
I also started giving my child vitamin D aqueous solution, 2 drops a day, and I also take it myself.
Vitamin D also activates the immune system and is needed by everyone without exception in the fall and winter, not only children, but also adults, it even prevents cancer and autoimmune diseases, new research is constantly being conducted on it!
I also read about Lecithin, it is also useful for everyone, both adults and children, the brain consists of 30% lecithin, lecithin regulates nervous activity, and this in turn also affects the immune system! Lecithin also needs to be taken for 3 months.
Well, that’s all, I hope my information will help you boost your child’s immunity!
With Maxilak, the child’s stool became light and every day; previously he could not go every day, and the stool could be darker, but lecithin also has an effect here, since it is a choleretic agent.
I advise you to take Maxilac in a course at least a month for immunity, if it is not possible to order LactobacillusGG bacteria on iherb, or just in a course while taking antibiotics!
IMPORTANT UPDATE 01/18/2017
Of course, I painted everything so colorfully, taking other people’s arguments as a basis and hoping for a miracle, but in reality it all turned out to be just a sham!!!!!
I'm changing my mind after using probiotics!
The child still had dysbacteriosis and a white coating on his tonsils after antibiotics, although we took probiotics for 3 weeks, first Maxilac for 10 days, then others!!!
I found out this at an appointment with the pediatrician, she said that the child had plaque!! I was shocked!
Not a single bacteria alone can boost our immunity and save us from dysbiosis, because we have more than 500 types of them in our intestines! Not one, not even 2, not even 10 pieces that they are trying to sell to us at an exorbitant price for 10 capsules, and these bacteria are created artificially and they are perceived by our bacteria as foreign agents!
Therefore, now after antibiotics to treat dysbiosis and while taking antibiotics, I switched to prebiotics, as well as regular wheat bran.
I recommend this wonderful dietary supplement called Stimbifid, which will solve the problem of dysbiosis by feeding all your flora and will help it multiply again quickly and effectively!!!
Read about how I finally restored my child’s intestinal microflora after 2 months of torment in the review about the antibiotic Klacid (if you don’t want to read, I’ll say that these are ordinary wheat BRAN).
I also came to the conclusion that NO dietary supplements will help boost immunity, but only products specially created for this will help, namely, the drug LYKOPID helped us a lot; for children who go to kindergarten it is simply a salvation. Now we are using the drug Broncho-Vaxom, which also helps a lot.
Thank you all for your attention! Be healthy!
Maxilak baby - reviews
From birth, my son had to endure a course of antibiotics. As many already know, antibiotics help in some ways, but destroy others, in particular, the intestinal microflora, which is what actually happened to the baby’s body in the early stages. Nothing passes without a trace. For a long time we suffered from colic, we treated the microflora with many medications containing beneficial bacteria. There was no particular effect from them. When colic began to disappear by the age of five months, it was replaced by problems with stool, as complementary foods were introduced. The child could not go to the toilet for a long time. The doctors shrugged their shoulders and convinced me that the baby was not worried, but there were worries, mostly at night, when the tummy became heavier. Then my mother went to the pharmacy and the pharmacist recommended Maxilac Baby. There is also Maxilac in capsules for adults, and for children there is a colored box with ten sachets (sachets) that need to be dissolved in water. Why is Maxilac so useful? Let me start by saying that the minimum course of using this powder is 10 days, but, of course, it is better to take the medicine in two or three courses. The price is a bit high, as you see in the photo. You need to give your baby one sachet a day before or immediately after meals, after dissolving the contents of the sachet in a small amount of water, juice or milk. The fact is that Maxilak is a synbiotic that contains not two or three beneficial bacteria to improve microflora, but as many as nine. First of all, it normalizes the functioning of the intestines, populating it with beneficial bacteria. The medicine is also suitable for those children who suffer from lactase deficiency, it saves from indigestion, bloating and restores the intestines after taking antibiotics. Many parents serve it to their children because of allergic reactions on the skin, namely, with diathesis. Maxilak is not only a therapeutic agent, but also a preventive one, as a biological food additive. Boosts immunity, fights any type of intestinal disorder and alleviates colds. That's how useful it is. On the back of the box are the names of the bacteria contained in the powder. Many people do not buy this drug because of the high price. Otherwise, all my friends are happy with its effect. It does not cause an unpleasant taste; on the contrary, water with the powder dissolved in it becomes pleasant and sweetish. After taking the medicine for ten days, our health definitely improved. The most important thing is that my son now goes to the toilet regularly. Let's take another course of synbiotic, and then we'll see. Overall, I am very pleased with this medicine, because it is the only one that has a visible effect.
