Why 10 Billion Spores per Capsule Became Our Standard

In the early years, we offered two different spore concentrations: 1 billion spores per capsule and 10 billion spores per capsule.

The 1 billion spore version was deliberately introduced as a more affordable entry-level option. Similar dosages are still used by many manufacturers today.

Over the years, however, both our own experience and extensive customer feedback revealed a clear trend: the version containing 10 billion spores per capsule was generally perceived as more practical and was preferred more often for long-term use.

For this reason, the formulation with 10 billion spores per capsule became the core of our product range.

Note on the 1 Billion Spore Version

The product containing 1 billion spores per capsule is now available again. It is particularly suitable for people who prefer starting with a lower spore concentration or who want greater flexibility in dosing.

In our experience, however, the 10 billion spore version remains the simpler and more practical choice for most users.

A Practical Approach Based on Long-Term Experience

Initial Phase

Many users choose a slightly higher daily spore intake at the beginning in order to integrate Bacillus subtilis consistently into their daily routine.

• 2 capsules per day
• equivalent to 20 billion spores daily
• commonly used for a period of 2 to 4 months

Long-Term Use

After this initial phase, many users adopt a simpler daily routine.

• 1 capsule per day
• equivalent to 10 billion spores daily
• suitable for long-term use

The most important factor is not following a rigid schedule but finding a consistent routine that fits naturally into everyday life.

Continuous Use or Periodic Use

In practice, two common approaches are frequently used:

• continuous use, for example 1 capsule per day
• or periodic use, for example 2 weeks of intake followed by a 2-week break

Both approaches are used successfully. The key is finding a rhythm that suits your personal preferences and lifestyle.

Flexible Everyday Use

One of the major practical advantages of Bacillus subtilis is the exceptional stability of its spores. This allows for a highly flexible and convenient daily routine.

• morning, midday, or evening
• independent of meals
• with or without food
• traditional capsule intake
• open the capsule and sprinkle over food
• mix into warm meals

The capsules themselves are not enteric-coated. However, the spores they contain possess a naturally high level of resistance.

Moringa or OPC as Plant-Based Companion Ingredients

Each capsule also contains either Moringa or OPC as a complementary plant-based ingredient. This combination has proven practical and suitable for everyday use over many years.

Moringa and OPC provide a high-quality plant-based addition to the formulation and contribute to a simple and natural daily routine.

Conclusion After More Than a Decade of Experience

• practical experience with Bacillus subtilis DSM 21097 since 2012
• 10 billion spores per capsule as our established standard
• flexible and convenient daily use
• available with Moringa or OPC
• based on our own experience and extensive customer feedback

This product is not built around short-term trends, but around continuous use, long-term practical experience, and a formulation refined over many years.
