The cause is often a protective layer of harmful bacteria and yeasts that settles in the intestine. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 1.2rem; color: #2b5040; border-bottom: 2px solid #eaf4ea; padding-bottom: 8px; margin-bottom: 16px;\">How does Biofilm Balance work?<\/h2>\n<p>Chronic intestinal complaints are often maintained by biofilm: a sticky protective layer with which harmful bacteria and yeasts hide from the immune system and from treatments. As long as that layer is there, the intestine is difficult to reach and complaints keep coming back. <\/p>\n<p>Biofilm Balance breaks through that layer with a combination of NAC, lactoferrin and digestive enzymes. NAC breaks down the biofilm structure. Lactoferrin inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria. Enzymes help to remove the released waste products so that the intestine does not become overloaded.   <\/p>\n<p>This supplement is always a part of a broader bowel repair protocol. After breaking the biofilm, it is essential to repair the intestinal wall and build up the microbiome. <\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 1.2rem; color: #2b5040; border-bottom: 2px solid #eaf4ea; padding-bottom: 8px; margin: 28px 0 16px;\">What does this supplement do?<\/h2>\n<ul style=\"padding-left: 20px; margin-bottom: 24px;\">\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\">Helps with recurring intestinal complaints that just won&#8217;t go away<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\">Breaks the protective layer of stubborn bacteria and yeasts<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\">Combination of NAC, lactoferrin and enzymes for thorough effect<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\">Always to be used as part of a wider bowel repair protocol<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\">Supports the liver in the removal of released waste products<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!-- WANNEER ZIE JE RESULTAAT --><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 1.2rem; color: #2b5040; border-bottom: 2px solid #eaf4ea; padding-bottom: 8px; margin: 28px 0 20px;\">When do you see results?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-size: .88rem; color: #666; margin-bottom: 20px; font-style: italic;\">Breaking through biofilm is an active process.
