What is Probiotic?

Blog

Probiotics are live microorganisms (microbes) that have beneficial effects on or inside our body. Every human body is home to trillions of microorganisms that live with us and help support our bodily functions and health. Not all of the microbes we may carry are helpful to us — some types (germs) can be harmful. But probiotics are beneficial microbes, which help to control the potentially harmful microbes.

 

Bacillus subtilis: A Healthy Probiotic Strain

Bacillus subtilis is a rod-shaped, Gram-positive bacterium found in soil and the gut of humans and animals. Commonly used in probiotic supplements, it supports digestion, enzyme production, and immune and digestive health.

Key Health Benefits:

1. Gut Health and Strain Survivability:

  • Helps balance the gut microbiota.
  • Forms endospores to withstand heat, light, and other stressors.
  • Highly viable in supplement formulations and even survives in space for up to six years when protected from UV rays.

2. Resists Harmful Organisms:

  • Produces compounds that disrupt harmful organisms.
  • Binds and breaks down mycotoxins, reducing contamination in foods and fixing cell damage caused by aflatoxins and mycotoxins.

3. Supports Enzyme Production:

  • Promotes the production of beneficial enzymes like amylase, protease, pullulanase, chitinase, xylanase, and lipase.
  • Enzymes, in turn, help create a favourable environment for probiotic bacteria and promote intestinal integrity.

4. Other Health Benefits:

  • Supports a healthy immune system, especially in older adults.
  • Protects DNA integrity, making it resistant to mutation.
  • Contributes to overall digestive health.
History and Safety:
  • Originally named Vibrio subtilis by Christian Gottfried Ehrenberg, it was renamed Bacillus subtilis in 1872 by Ferdinand Cohn.
  • Historically used for gastrointestinal health, animal feed, probiotic supplements, and food production.
  • Used in Japan and Korea for fermented soybean dishes.
  • Considered safe for human consumption by the U.S. FDA and the European Food Safety Authority.
Bacillus subtilis is a beneficial probiotic strain that offers various health benefits and is widely recognized for its safety and effectiveness.
How Namay Probiotic Products Help for Good Gut Health & Immune System:

Namay Probiotic Products contain up to 5.4 billion CFU of Bacillus subtilis in spore form. Spores protect the bacteria against heat and dryness, allowing them to safely pass through gastric acid and reach the intestines. Once in the intestines, Bacillus subtilis assists digestion, enhances nutrient absorption, and stimulates the immune system, helping to protect against infections and illnesses. Widely available, Namay Probiotic Products support a healthier gut, stronger immune system, and overall family well-being.
