Bacillus clausii

Bacillus clausii belongs to the genus Bacillus. It is characterized by its ability to form spores, which allows it to survive in harsh environments and maintain its viability during the processing and storage of pharmaceutical or food-based probiotic formulations. Bacillus clausii has several beneficial properties that contribute to its effectiveness in maintaining gut health. It is resistant to acid and heat, allowing it to survive passage through the gastrointestinal tract and adhere to the intestinal wall. Additionally, it can grow in high-salt concentrations and promote epithelial proliferation, which helps in the restoration of the gut microbiota. This unique property makes it an effective probiotic for treating and preventing gut disorders, particularly diarrhea.
