Seasonal colds and respiratory infections remain one of the most common health challenges worldwide. In recent years, increasing attention has been paid not only to symptom management, but also to supporting the body’s natural immune defenses, particularly the immunity of respiratory mucous membranes.
The synbiotic Fluvir is designed to support local respiratory immunity and intestinal microbiota — two interconnected systems that play a key role in immune resilience.
Why mucosal immunity matters
Most respiratory infections begin at the level of the mucous membranes of the upper airways. Their protective capacity depends on:
- the balance of the microbiota;
- the activity of local immune cells;
- the interaction between the gut and the immune system (the gut–lung axis).
Disruptions in intestinal microbiota may negatively affect immune responses and increase susceptibility to infections.
What is Fluvir and how it works
Fluvir is a synbiotic, meaning it combines:
- five probiotic strains;
- a prebiotic — fructooligosaccharides (FOS).
This combination is designed to:
- support the balance of intestinal microbiota;
- contribute to the maintenance of local immune defenses of the respiratory tract mucosa.
Probiotic strains in Fluvir
Fluvir contains well-studied probiotic strains commonly used to support microbiota and immune balance:
- Bifidobacterium lactis BS01
- Lactobacillus plantarum LP01
- Lactobacillus plantarum LP02
- Lactobacillus rhamnosus LR04
- Lactobacillus rhamnosus LR05
These strains are included to help maintain intestinal microbial balance, which is closely linked to immune function.
Table 1. Fluvir composition and CFU content
| Strain | Per 1 sachet | Per 2 sachets |
|---|---|---|
| Bifidobacterium lactis BS01 | 5 × 10⁹ CFU | 10 × 10⁹ CFU |
| Lactobacillus plantarum LP01 | 2.5 × 10⁹ CFU | 5 × 10⁹ CFU |
| Lactobacillus plantarum LP02 | 2.5 × 10⁹ CFU | 5 × 10⁹ CFU |
| Lactobacillus rhamnosus LR04 | 2.5 × 10⁹ CFU | 5 × 10⁹ CFU |
| Lactobacillus rhamnosus LR05 | 2.5 × 10⁹ CFU | 5 × 10⁹ CFU |
CFU — colony forming units
The role of prebiotics in Fluvir
Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) are prebiotic fibers that:
- serve as a nutritional substrate for beneficial gut bacteria;
- support probiotic survival and activity;
- contribute to the stability of intestinal microbiota.
The presence of FOS enhances the overall synbiotic effect of the formulation.
Microencapsulation technology
Fluvir is produced using a patented microencapsulation technology, which:
- protects probiotic bacteria from acidic gastric conditions;
- helps maintain bacterial viability during storage and transportation without refrigeration;
- supports the delivery of probiotics to the intestine in an active state.
The microcapsule shields probiotic cell membranes from low gastric pH, bile acids and digestive enzymes, reducing premature bacterial loss.

| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Formula | synbiotic (probiotics + prebiotic) |
| Technology | microencapsulation |
| Storage | no refrigeration required |
| Target | respiratory mucosal immunity & gut microbiota |
Recommended use
- dissolve the contents of one sachet in 100 ml of boiled drinking water cooled to room temperature;
- suitable for adults and children aged 12 years and older;
- take 1–2 sachets per day, preferably in the morning before meals;
- do not add to hot liquids.
Use with antibiotics
For optimal effectiveness, an interval of at least 3 hours should be maintained between Fluvir and antibiotic intake.
Safety information
- individual sensitivity to product components;
- do not exceed the recommended daily dose;
- not intended as a substitute for a balanced diet;
- avoid using water from wells or untreated sources.
A varied diet and a healthy lifestyle remain essential for overall well-being.
Conclusion
Fluvir is a modern synbiotic developed to support respiratory mucosal immunity and intestinal microbiota, particularly during periods of increased infection risk. By combining selected probiotic strains, a prebiotic component and advanced microencapsulation technology, Fluvir offers a convenient approach to daily immune support during cold seasons.
