Bacillus Subtilis Probiotic for Gut Health and Immune Support *

Bacillus subtilis is a patented probiotic strain clinically studied for its potential immune health and digestive balance properties.* Naturally resilient and spore-forming, it seems to be known for its ability to survive challenging conditions and reach the gut intact.*

What Is Bacillus Subtilis?*

Also referred to as hay or grass bacillus, Bacillus subtilis may be found in soil and in the digestive tract.* The strain – selected and studied for its potential immune-supportive properties – is listed in the French National Collection of Microorganism Cultures (CNCM) under no. I-2745.*

This probiotic seems to have been studied for its potential ability to support a balanced microbiota and promote resilience against occasional external stressors.*

Potential Benefits of Bacillus Subtilis*

Ongoing research appears to suggest that Bacillus subtilis may play a role in supporting:*

• Digestive health and microbial balance.*
• Gut resilience during occasional discomfort following external factors.*
• Immune support during seasonal changes.*
• Defense against the growth of less favorable microorganisms.*
• Oral microbiota balance when used in specific applications such as mouthwash.*
• Weight balance and oxidative stress response.*

While Bacillus subtilis often seems to be associated with gut health, some studies appear to suggest that a balanced microbiome may play a role in maintaining overall wellness, including immune support and weight management.*

How May Bacillus Subtilis Support Immune Health?*

Pre-clinical and clinical trials seem to indicate that Bacillus subtilis supplements may help support immune function in older adults, especially during seasonal shifts such as the winter months, when the body may need extra support.*

Unlike some other strains, this spore-forming strain might be heat-resistant and stable, potentially making it ideal for digestive delivery and providing advantages such as:

• Potential enhanced effectiveness in the intestines, where microflora is located, due to resistance during passage through the digestive tract.*
• Possible stability in capsules at room temperature, due to spore-forming structure and DRcaps™ protection.*
• Potential immune support via activation of IgA-producing cells, as observed in clinical research.*

In a double-blind clinical trial with 44 participants aged 60 and over, those taking 20 mg of Bacillus subtilis for ten days each month over four winter months experienced the following results compared to placebo:

• Higher IgA levels in saliva and stool, potential markers of mucosal immune activity.*
• Fewer days with reported immune-related discomfort.*

Bacillus subtilis may be especially beneficial to older adults, during colder months when the body’s natural defenses need extra support.* It might be combined with Vitamin D3 5000 IU, Liposomal Vitamin C, and Zinc L-Carnosine for a more complete approach to immune wellness.*
