The gut: home to our health

Whether we want to admit it or not, our well-being and contentment do not rest in our hearts, but rather, quite pragmatically, in our intestines. It is one of the most important organs of our body and in many ways the centre of our health.

Through its numerous coils, not only food is utilised and unwanted waste is disposed of. With a surface area of 300 to 500 square metres, the intestinal mucosa is the largest boundary surface of our body. It is home to good bacteria that prevent pathogens from spreading. The large intestine is home to the majority of these intestinal bacteria: Around 400 different types of bacteria can be found in it. Their total number is estimated at 10 trillion. Together they weigh an incredible one and a half kilograms!

Intestinal bacteria not only support digestion, but also produce various nutrients that are useful for the body. These include, for example, vitamins B2, B12 and K, as well as biotin and folic acid. Some intestinal bacteria also neutralise toxic substances. The so-called intestinal flora is therefore extremely important for our immune defence.

Incidentally, the term intestinal flora comes from the earlier assumption that the accumulation of microorganisms belonged to the plant kingdom. However, since bacteria have their own kingdom, the protista, the following terms are more accurate: intestinal microbiome, intestinal microbiota - or simply intestinal bacteria.

Bacillus subtilis: A bacterium like an invigorating walk in the woods - the microbe of the year 2023!

By the way, one of 400 bacterial species has migrated directly from the autumnal forest to our large intestine: Bacillus subtilis. This bacterium is produced during the decomposition of leaves. If it is stirred up by walking feet, for example, it hovers about two metres above the ground, where it is inhaled by humans. It survives in our bodies for about two weeks, but cleans up the intestinal tract in this short time: It supports the absorption of nutrients and effectively fends off bacteria that cause poor digestion, intolerances or even unwanted immune reactions. No wonder we feel so good after walks in the woods!

Only very few suppliers of food supplements have this superstar among the bacteria in their range. Probio Plus brings the power of 18 strains of probiotic bacteria into your home and, of course, into your intestines. 20 billion units work for you and your well-being every day, led by Bacillus subtilis - an invigorating walk in the woods in a capsule! For even greater effectiveness, we have added inulin to our product. This ensures that the valuable intestinal bacteria also multiply diligently.
