Probiotics are living microbial nutrients that have a beneficial and healing effect on the human body. But in fact, each of us knows some of them - these are the famous fermenting bacilli of Bulgarian yogurt - Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus.

The curative effect of antibiotics is undeniable, but they can also be a double-edged sword, if we do not know how to prevent some side effects. Antibiotics destroy all microorganisms in the human flora, both pathogenic and beneficial. It disrupts the microbial balance in the gastrointestinal tract, reduces the body's immune defenses and can cause severe infections. Therefore, it is extremely important to take probiotics after antibiotic treatment.

Good bacteria or probiotics (eg Lactobacillus bulgaricus) are living microorganisms that act in the gastrointestinal tract and are a natural barrier to the effects of harmful bacteria that affect our bodies every day. They restore and maintain the balance of the microbial balance in the gastrointestinal tract - one of the most important organs for the immune system.

Probiotics (in particular Lactobacillus bulgaricus) produce and supply vital functional enzymes and biologically active substances to the body. They control the intestinal infections, lower the level of "bad" cholesterol and blood sugar, strengthen the immune system and reduce blood pressure. Some strains of Lactobacillus bulgaricus contain D (-) lactic acid, which limits the reproduction of cancer cells.

Probiotic "Lactina"
Probiotics are specially cultivated "friendly bacteria", which promote optimal health conditions in animals and increase their productivity.
Probiotic Lactina is a fodder supplement made in Bulgaria.
Probiotic Lactina is a unique and patented product containing lyophilized pure cultures of traditional Lactobacillus bulgaricus (from Bulgaria), Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus helveticus, Lactobacillus lactis, Streptococcus thermophilus, Enterococcus faecium.
It is produced using the latest bioreactors and freeze-drying systems. This guarantees preservation of the bacteria's viability and subsequent reproduction in the digestive tract of the animals which results in the production of a large quantity of the ferments necessary for fodder assimilation.
 
Probiotic Lactina’s beneficial effects include:
• Strenghtening of the immune system
• Suppression of the putrefaction process in the bowels and restoration of the optimal balance of gastro-intestinal microflora
• Enhancement of the peristaltic and bowel functions
• Proven antimicrobial activity against E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Proteus mirabilis, monocyto genes and other conditionally pathogenic microorganisms
Tests with pigs show that adding probiotic Lactina to a well balanced, combined fodder diet provides optimal zootechnical and economic results without the use of any other stimulants.

Primary goal of our company is the development of starter cultures for the dairy industry.
For this purpose Lactina’s scientists executed large scale program for isolation of unique strains of lactic acid bacteria from natural sources in ecologically preserved areas in Bulgaria – Rila, Pirin, mountain Rodope and the Balkan mountain chain. This isolation project laid the foundation for the creation of a collection containing diverse frozen and freeze-dried strains of different of bacterial species, and which is continuously enriched with new isolates.
Many of the of our single-strain cultures are patented and deposited in the National Bank for Industrial Microorganisms and Cell Cultures, Sofia, Bulgaria (NBIMCC).
Establishment and application of original Bulgarian starter cultures for dairy products is of major priority for our company. In this way we contribute to the preservation and production of traditional authentic Bulgarian yoghurt, white and yellow cheese.
Lactina Ltd. offers abroad various combinations of freeze-dried starter cultures for production of different types of yoghurt with firm and with broken coagulum, with fruits and other supplements, as well as European-type cheeses.

The advantages of our starter cultures are:
• formation of traditional taste, aroma and texture of the yoghurt
• original cultures with proven identity and symbiotic cultures for yoghurt production
• free of genetically manipulated microorganisms
• selected set of multistrain phage-resistant starter cultures with participation of four strains Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus
• Lactina Ltd. is focused on the elaboration of starter cultures based on local lactic acid bacterial strains with proven geographic identity from Bulgaria and Balkan peninsula, which are established as stable symbiotic cultures via natural selection through the ages of traditional yoghurt production.
