Bacillus clausii is a spore-forming, Gram-positive bacterium that belongs to the genus Bacillus. It is considered a probiotic microorganism and has been extensively studied for its potential health benefits.
Probiotic strain Bacillus clausii
The probiotic strain Bacillus clausii was researched and developed using specialized technology:
Gut health
Immune health
1. Management of Gastrointestinal Disorders
Bacillus clausii has been studied for its efficacy in managing various gastrointestinal disorders, including acute diarrhea, antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD), and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It helps restore the balance of gut microflora, improves bowel function, and reduces symptoms such as abdominal pain and discomfort.
2. Immunomodulatory effects
Bacillus clausii can modulate the immune response by promoting a balanced cytokine profile. It has been shown to decrease the levels of IL4 levels and a significant increase of IFNgamma, TGFbeta, and IL10 levels. By regulating cytokine production, Bacillus clausii may help mitigate allergic responses and reduce inflammation associated with allergic conditions.
3. Protection Against Pathogens
Bacillus clausii produces antimicrobial substances, such as antibiotics and bacteriocins, which can inhibit the growth of various pathogenic bacteria. This protective effect helps reduce the risk of infections and supports overall gut health.
