Linex

Linex is a brand of probiotic dietary supplement marketed to support digestive health by delivering live bacteria to the gut. Formulations sold under the Linex name vary by country and producer, but they commonly contain blends of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium strains, sometimes with additional probiotic microorganisms. Linex products are typically positioned for relief of minor digestive symptoms such as gas, bloating, and irregular stools, and for helping to restore gut flora after antibiotic use.

Probiotics such as those in Linex are intended to influence the composition and activity of intestinal microbiota. The exact mechanism is not fully understood, but these bacteria may compete with harmful microorganisms, modulate pH, and support gut barrier function.

Safety and regulation: Linex is generally well tolerated in healthy people. Side effects, if any, are usually mild and transient, such as gentle gas or bloating. Rare cases of bloodstream infection or other serious events have been reported in people who are severely immunocompromised or have certain medical devices; such individuals should seek medical advice before use. Regulatory status varies by country: in many places Linex is sold as a dietary supplement rather than a prescription medication, and product-specific disease treatment claims are not approved.

Availability: Linex is widely available over the counter in pharmacies and supermarkets in many regions, with various formulations for adults and children and different dosage forms.
