Use & Intake Practice – Bacillus subtilis
Long-standing experience from practice and customer feedback
Our experience with Bacillus subtilis dates back to 2012. Since then, this particular bacterial strain has been used regularly and continuously by us in everyday practice.
From 2014 onwards, Bacillus subtilis was additionally offered in combination with Moringa or OPC. In the years that followed, our own use as well as numerous customer feedback reports resulted in very clear and reliable practical experience regarding intake practice and the spore quantity used.
These statements are not based on theoretical assumptions, but on more than a decade of practical experience and continuous feedback from real-world use.
Spore quantity – why 10 billion spores have become established in practice
In the early years, two spore strengths were offered:
- 1 × 10⁹ spores per capsule (1 billion)
- 1 × 10¹⁰ spores per capsule (10 billion)
The lower spore quantity of 1 billion per capsule, which is still used by many providers today, was deliberately tested to offer a cost-effective entry-level option.
Results from many years of practice
Both our own experience and numerous customer feedback reports clearly showed that a spore quantity of 1 × 10⁹ per capsule was perceived by many users as impractical in everyday use.
Frequently reported observations were that this amount:
- was perceived as too low
- was difficult to integrate meaningfully into daily routines
- was only considered practical at significantly higher spore quantities
As a result, more and more users consciously opted for the higher spore quantity of 10 billion spores per capsule and remained with it long-term.
Proven intake concept from practice
Initial phase
Many users followed the following approach at the beginning:
- 2 capsules daily
- equivalent to 20 billion spores per day
- period: 2 to 4 months
This phase is often chosen to integrate Bacillus subtilis regularly and consistently into daily routines.
Ongoing use
After this period, many users prefer the following amount:
- 1 capsule daily
- equivalent to 10 billion spores per day
- suitable for long-term use
From today’s perspective, 10 billion spores per day have proven to be a practical and well-established spore quantity for many users.
Continuous intake or breaks – both approaches are common
According to current scientific information, Bacillus subtilis is not a microorganism that permanently colonizes the intestine. After ingestion, the spores become active in the digestive tract and are excreted again after a certain period of time.
As a result, two common approaches have developed in practice:
-
continuous intake, e.g.
1 capsule daily with 10 billion spores
or
-
time-limited use, e.g.
approx. 2 weeks of intake followed by approx. 2 weeks break
Both approaches are used. What matters is regular intake in an individually suitable rhythm.
Intake timing & handling – high flexibility in everyday life
A major practical advantage of Bacillus subtilis is the high stability of the spores:
- intake timing freely selectable
- morning, midday or evening
- independent of meals
- with or without food
- heat-stable – the spores retain their properties even at higher temperatures
Possible intake forms:
- classic capsule form
- opening the capsule and sprinkling over food
- stirring into warm dishes
The capsules are not enteric-coated, as the resistant spores nevertheless reach the intestine almost completely.
Moringa as a plant-based complement
Each capsule additionally contains either 325 mg of Moringa or OPC.
The combination of Bacillus subtilis with plant-based accompanying substances such as Moringa or OPC has proven to be practical and suitable for everyday use over many years and complements daily nutrition in a simple way.
Conclusion from over a decade of experience
- established spore quantity from 10 billion spores per day
- flexible in use
- uncomplicated in everyday life
- based on long-term personal use and extensive customer feedback
This product does not stand for short-term trends, but for continuous use, practical experience and honest feedback over many years.
