Natural help with diarrhea
Diarrhea is often caused by a bacterial or viral infection, eg the norovirus. Diarrhea can occur, especially when traveling or when taking antibiotics. Almost everyone knows the symptoms from their own experience: the stool becomes soft and undefined, in extreme cases even liquid. Perocur ^® 250 mg fights diarrhea naturally and sustainably in a tolerable way. The special yeast culture in Perocur ^®250mg relieves the discomfort and regenerates the intestines. The growth of pathogenic germs is inhibited and fluid loss is reduced. After antibiotic therapy, Perocur ^® 250mg helps restore the natural balance of the intestinal flora. Since Perocur ^® 250mg is also very suitable for the prevention and treatment of travelers' diarrhea, it should not be missing in any first-aid kit.

Regenerates the intestines
Our intestines are populated by countless beneficial bacteria from the intestinal flora. They form a barrier against harmful germs, produce vitamins and stimulate intestinal movement. In this way, the intestinal flora fulfills vital functions and protects the body from infections. If the intestinal flora is weakened or disturbed (e.g. due to a bacterial or viral infection or the use of antibiotics), diarrhea can occur.

The Saccharomyces boulardii yeast culture contained in Perocur ^® 250 mg can support the function of the weakened intestinal flora. It also helps to restore the natural balance of the intestinal flora.
