Bacillus subtilis is a clinically studied and patented strain of probiotic bacteria that supports natural defenses and helps protect against external stressors.* Using a Bacillus subtilis supplement can provide various health benefits for overall wellness.*
What Is Bacillus Subtilis?
Bacillus subtilis is a strain that has been selected and studied for its immune-supportive properties and is listed in the French National Collection of Microorganism Cultures (CNCM) as no. I-2745. Also known as grass or hay bacillus, it is naturally found in soil and throughout the human gastrointestinal tract. Medical professionals often recommend taking a Bacillus subtilis probiotic supplement to anyone concerned about their digestive health or immune support, specifically.*
Key Benefits of Bacillus Subtilis
Why do we choose to buy Bacillus subtilis probiotics?
It may be related to the potential benefits of Bacillus subtilis probiotics. While ongoing research continues, here are some of the studied health benefits of Bacillus subtilis that have been explored through clinical research.*
While many of the benefits of Bacillus subtilis are focused on gut health, studies suggest that a healthy gut microbiome plays a key role in supporting overall immune system function.* When gut health is maintained, it can contribute to better weight management, enhanced immunity, and overall wellness.*
With this in mind, individuals seeking to support their overall well-being may benefit from considering Bacillus subtilis probiotics.*
How Does Bacillus Subtilis Support the Immune System?*
Pre-clinical and clinical trials suggest that Bacillus subtilis supplements may support immune health in older individuals, particularly during the winter months when the body may need extra support.*
Unlike some other strains, this resilient bacteria is spore-forming, meaning it produces cells that are particularly resistant to heat, which may provide several advantages such as:
- An enhanced effectiveness in the intestines, where microflora is located, due to high resistance during passage through the digestive tract.*
- A stability in capsules at room temperature, thanks to delayed release capsules technology.*
- A strong resilience in the GI tract with the potential to activate IgA-producing cells (immunity antibodies), as shown in preclinical tests and clinical research conducted in France.*
This double-blind clinical trial involved 44 participants aged 60 and over. Over the course of four winter months, they took 20 mg of Bacillus subtilis for ten days each month. The results indicated the following:
- A notable increase in IgA concentrations in the respiratory and intestinal mucosa (measured in saliva and stool) compared to the placebo.*
- A 38 percent reduction in the number of days experiencing immune challenges, with a decreased likelihood of reporting such episodes.*
Considering these factors, Bacillus subtilis may be a beneficial addition for adults, particularly older individuals looking to support their immune health during the winter months.* This probiotic can be taken alongside , and to further support immune function, as these nutrients are well-known for their immune-supportive properties.*
