Q — Was the strain genetically modified?
No. There was no insertion of one bacterium into another. The strains — one from a newborn lamb, one from human neonatal meconium — were of the same type. They grow and live naturally on their own.
Q — Why was the bacterium adapted to antibiotics?
When people take antibiotics, beneficial gut bacteria are destroyed along with harmful ones. The goal was to create a strain that survives antibiotic treatment — so patients could take a course without completely destroying their microflora. The adaptation process took approximately ten years.
Q — What did clinical trials show?
A Kazakh gastroenterology professor tested Maxilin on 60 people over a 14-day course — using Maxilin alone, with no other medicines. Microflora samples were taken before and after. According to the professor, the difference in intestinal microflora was enormous. Demand quickly outpaced what could be supplied.
Q — What are the storage requirements?
Liquid form: 2–8°C during transport. Official shelf life 15 days (living culture may remain active longer).
Dry / capsule form: 20–25°C, low humidity. Shelf life up to 2 years.
Q — How should it be taken after the first course?
14 days on → ~10 days off → repeat 14-day course. This allows the bacteria to establish properly in the intestine. Ongoing preventive use is also appropriate for long-term gut maintenance.
Q — Is it a medicine or a supplement?
In Ireland and across the EU, Maxilin is sold and regulated as a food supplement, not as a medicine. Although its 1993 registration in Kazakhstan as a natural preparation forms part of its documented history, customers in Ireland and the EU should understand and use Maxilin solely as a food supplement.
Q — How does it work against harmful organisms?
Maxilin creates an intestinal environment in which harmful microorganisms cannot reproduce easily — including parasites, pathogens, and Candida. It does not attack directly; it restructures the gut environment so harmful organisms cannot thrive.
Q — Dosage guidance?
Adults (liquid): 50–100ml, 3× daily, 30 minutes before meals.
Children: Smaller doses depending on age.
Infants: Contents of capsule opened and mixed before use.
Capsules (adults): Take before meals. Also suitable for topical/cosmetic application.
