Ingredients explained
Bacillus coagulans (LactoSpore, MTCC 5856)
Spore-forming Bacillus coagulans survives stomach acid and may produce lactic acid and beneficial metabolites that help support a balanced gut microbiota.
Caution: Start with the suggested serving to gauge tolerance, as changes in gut activity may cause temporary gas or bloating.
Bacillus clausii (MuniSpore, CSI08)
Bacillus clausii forms resilient spores that reach the intestine and may help crowd out unwanted microbes and support microbial diversity.
Caution: If you are immunocompromised or have a serious condition, speak with a healthcare professional due to limited data in these groups.
Bacillus subtilis (DE111)
Bacillus subtilis spores can germinate in the gut and may aid digestion by producing enzymes and supporting a healthy microbial environment.
Caution: Introduce gradually with food to minimise potential digestive discomfort such as mild gas.
Quercetin
Quercetin is a flavonoid that may help stabilise mast cells and modulate oxidative stress signals in the gut lining.
Caution: May interact with certain medicines; separate from mineral supplements as high doses can affect absorption.
Aloe vera leaf gel
Aloe vera gel contains polysaccharides that may soothe the gastrointestinal lining and support mucosal hydration.
Caution: High amounts of aloe latex can have a laxative effect, though gel is typically low in laxative compounds.
How they work together
Spore-forming Bacillus strains reach the intestines intact to support a balanced microbiome and digestive enzyme activity. Quercetin and aloe vera gel provide flavonoid and polysaccharide support for the gut lining, complementing the probiotics’ microbial actions.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: Consult a physician before use, especially if nursing, have a medical condition, or are taking medicine.
Who should be cautious: People with allergies to any listed ingredients such as quercetin, marshmallow root, aloe vera, or Bacillus species may need caution. Those with compromised immunity or who use immunosuppressive therapy may wish to discuss probiotic use with a healthcare professional.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place.
