Helicobacter pylori is a bacteria that cause an infection in the stomach or duodenum (first part of the small intestine). Once H. pylori successfully colonized the stomach, it evolves toward persistent chronic infection with spontaneous clearance being relatively rare.
HELIKOM is a food supplement containing Gutgard® (derived from Glycyrrhiza glabra) and probiotic blend which is designed for the management of Helicobacter pylori. Also, this product is used as an adjunct to Helicobacter pylori triple therapy and thus reduces gastrointestinal symptoms, increases antibiotic effect and reduces antibiotic side effects.
What is GutGard®?
GutGard® is a clinically researched, flavonoid-rich, natural bioactive for daily digestive health derived from Glycyrrhiza glabra.
More than 50 flavonoids have been identified in Gutgard® which have been shown to have beneficial activity for digestive complaints.
Gutgard® licorice flavonoids have been shown to protect the stomach lining and balance Helicobacter pylori levels much more effectively than regular DGL extracts.
Gutgard® licorice can also relieve occasional indigestion, bloating, and stomach pain at 150mg/day.
Probiotics increase the eradication rate in the treatment of H. pylori infection, improve clinical symptoms, and increase patient compliance by reducing treatment-related antibiotic-related side effects.
GutGard® in combination with Lactobacillus sp. was effective in lowering GI symptoms (upper abdominal fullness, occasional heartburn, nausea, bloating, belching & regurgitation) and managing the H. pylori
