What are Bacillus Coagulans and Bacillus Subtilis?

I get it, some of you might be scratching your head thinking I’m speaking in a different language.  The fact of the matter is, Bacillus coagulans and Bacillus subtilis are incredibly helpful probiotics that have many health benefits, especially when it comes to immunity and gut health.  And as I’m sure you are aware, probiotics (when it comes to overall health and well-being) is a hot topic right now and something that is being talked about regularly as more and more brands are starting to include these helpful bacteria strains in their products.

The formation of these particular bacteria strains (Bacillus coagulans and Bacillus subtilis) allow them to pass through the stomach and into the intestines where they are able to grow and multiply as normal flora without being destroyed by the immune system.  This is also important for the fact that our stomach acid usually begins to break down or even kill some bacteria, but this isn’t the case with Bacillus coagulans and Bacillus subtilis.

These Bacillus spores contain antibiotic compounds that aid in improving immunity by killing off potential pathogens that could cause illness.  They also assist with keeping the intestinal wall and lining healthy which creates a strong barrier that boosts the immune system and its defense.

Unfortunately, when gut health is compromised, several negative consequences can ensue.  Individuals can suffer from abdominal pain, diarrhea, bacterial overgrowth, bloating, and even infection (such as a urinary tract infection).  Depending on the severity, any one of these issues can put you out of commission for 24 hours or longer.

When you are training hard, getting ready for a competition, or striving to reach your health and fitness goals, any little issue or hiccup with your health can cause a setback.  Bacillus coagulans and Bacillus subtilis can help reduce the likelihood of these common health issues and help your body fight off and kill foreign pathogens.

Something everyone should be looking to protect is their longevity.  We all want to stay young and healthy for as long as we can.  However, free radicals that float around in our bloodstream trying to destroy and mutate our cells can wreak havoc on our immune system.  In order to prevent our immunity from becoming compromised and keep it thriving, we need antioxidants to go out in search for free radicals and destroy them before they are able to harm us on a cellular level (including down to the DNA level).

Bacillus spores, like Bacillus coagulans, produce antioxidant compounds in the form of carotenoids that help rid the body of free radicals.  These carotenoids aid in preventing oxidative stress that can lead to diseases like diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and other chronic diseases.

It’s for these reasons that probiotics (especially Bacillus coagulans and Bacillus subtilis) are so important and vital to protecting our health.  Probiotics are something we all should implement into our supplement and nutrition strategy.
