On the cellular level, leaky gut is the result of disrupted tight junctions between colonocytes, creating small holes in the protective intestinal wall. Some studies even suggest that leaky gut plays a pivotal, and perhaps even causal, role in the development of many chronic diseases by triggering low-grade systemic inflammation. Leaky Gut Solution Leaky Gut Syndrome, a condition characterized by increased intestinal permeability, has become a major problem in the United States. The end result is a healthier gut lining and a stronger immune system that is better equipped to handle unfavorable lifestyle and environmental factors that can lead to conditions like asthma, allergies, autoimmunity, and infections. MegaSporeBiotic™ also supports the immune system by stimulating Peyer’s patches, as well as Toll-like receptors, in order to improve pattern recognition, increase circulating T and B lymphocytes, and upregulate regulatory T cells. Studies show that Bacillus subtilis promotes the development of GALT, which is critical to the formation of a properly functioning and robust immune system. Immune Support Over 70% of the immune system can be found in the gut in the form of gut-associated lymphoid tissue, or GALT. In fact, MegaSporeBiotic™ maintains its viability outside of its capsule and can even survive baking, up to 450˚ F. This key feature is what allows MegaSporeBiotic™ to survive easily through digestion without the need for enteric-coated capsules. In its dormant spore form, Bacillus will surround itself with an endospore, which is a tough, natural outer shell that protects it from light, heat, pressure, acid, lack of oxygen, and other environmental factors. This means that the Bacillus spores can transition interchangeably from their dormant form to their active form, depending on the environment.
The reason for their inherent survivability comes from the spores’ bi-phasic life cycle. Though it sounds like science fiction, scientists were actually able to isolate and grow the 250-million-year-old spores! Stomach Survivor Bacillus spores are naturally designed to survive digestion. In fact, the oldest bacterial spore ever documented was 250 million years old and found inside salt crystals in Carlsbad, New Mexico. Our ancestors derived probiotic benefits from inadvertently consuming bacillus spores on a regular basis.
Found naturally in the environment for millions of years, Bacillus spores have developed a symbiotic relationship with their human host. MegaSporeBiotic™ is formulated with nature in mind.
