Why Do We Need Probiotics? The gastrointestinal (GI) system is vulnerable to the attack of endless stressors today. Our bodies are inundated with toxins, stress, and nutrient-depleted foods. We are a society with a poor investment in our own body’s requirements for physical activity, sunlight, detoxification, and healing. Signs that your gut needs reinforcement may first present as short-term symptoms like hives and fatigue, but can manifest into chronic digestive disturbances. Why Spore-Based Probiotics? Healthy bacteria are an essential nutrient for optimal health and well-being. Soil microbes coexist in the human digestive tract, enhancing the microflora. Studies show that microbial diversity in the gut helps maintain the gut lining while supporting overall immunity and health. Spore probiotics are used in clinical settings to support gut health. The agricultural industry is even assessing the use of bacterial spores as an alternative to antibiotics (1). What Is MegaSporeBiotic? MegaSporeBiotic contains a unique blend of 5 Bacillus spores designed to protect its human host. Unique from every other probiotic on the market, it is the first broad-spectrum spore-based probiotic clinically shown to recondition the gut and withstand the acidic environment of the gastric system (2). Bacillus species found in MegaSporeBiotic are characterized as a functional food because of their pigmentation and thus contain antioxidants. Spore-based carotenoids are of greater nutritional value because the spores are not easily degraded by low stomach pH (2). What Support Does MegaSporeBiotic Offer? Digestive Support Spore-based probiotics found in MegaSporeBiotic offer support for individuals affected by recurring gut problems and have even been shown to have the same effects as antibiotics in the study. (3) Approximately 1/3 of Western society is estimated to be affected by metabolic endotoxemia, a low-grade inflammatory response that can be caused by food consumption and is a common trigger for leaky gut. Researchers have found that spore-based probiotic supplementation is shown to support the immune system and overall health (4). MegaSporeBiotic probiotics are clinically found to repair symptoms of gut imbalances within 30 days (5). Immune Support Bacillus bacteria spores can assist with the immune response by stimulating anti-inflammatory pathways (6). Promotes GALT Stimulates Peyer’s patches Supports recognition patterns and cellular communication Increases T and B lymphocytes as well as T cells In a study, probiotics were found to alleviate the frequency and severity of recurrent respiratory infections in children with allergies (7). B. clausiwas specifically found to suppress Th2 cellular response, which activates the immune system in the presence of allergens. A robust immune system is equipped with a healthy gut lining better able to combat pathogens, stress, allergens, and other unfavorable influences. What Is The Recommended Dosage? MegaSporeBiotic is designed to be taken with food. Individuals over 10 years of age should follow the recommended protocol: Begin taking MegaSporeBiotic slowly to avoid symptoms associated with detoxification. If symptoms become uncomfortable as dosing increases, stop supplementing until systems abate and then repeat the schedule using a lower dose. Sensitive individuals may have greater levels of gut dysfunction and should slowly start using ¼ or ½ capsules every other day. Gradually increase the amount until comfortably able to maintain a dosage of 2x capsules every day. Storage: MegaSporeBiotic has a 5-year shelf-life and does not require refrigeration. Keep tightly closed in a cool, dry place out of reach of children. Maintains efficacy during antibiotic therapy. When introducing a new supplement, we recommend taking the lowest dose for 2-3 days. As tolerated, increase the dose until you have reached the recommended normal or advanced guidelines. Reduce to a tolerable dosage if adverse effects occur.
