Colonise Forte Tablet is a combination of four probiotics, namely: Clostridium butyricum,  Streptococcus faecalis, Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bacillus mesentericus. Clostridium butyricum interferes with the growth of pathogenic bacteria like Clostridium difficile. Streptococcus faecalis helps in clearing diarrhoea, stimulates the immune system, and helps balance intestinal microflora. It also helps reduce symptoms in lactose-intolerant patients. Lactobacillus helps maintain a healthy balance of microflora in the intestine, thereby improving the gastrointestinal ecology. It also helps in maintaining healthy lipid levels by incorporating cholesterol into its cellular structure. Bacillus mesentericus inhibits the growth of pathogenic bacteria and helps in digestion by regulating abnormal movements. Together, Colonise Forte Tablet helps treat conditions associated with dysbacteriosis.
