A healthy GI tract is a finely balanced environment where countless microbes compete for space and nutrients. Under conditions of health, the ecosystem is balanced (eubiosis), and few GI and extra-intestinal symptoms exist. However, dysbiosis can occur when an overabundance of potentially harmful organisms prevails. Therefore, the health of the GI tract relies on balanced microbiota. Probiotics contribute to balance by positively influencing the intestinal environment via pH balance, microorganism diversity and immune signaling. The natural microbiota balance can be upset by numerous lifestyle factors, such as medications, excessive alcohol consumption, low stomach acid or poor diet.
Ortho Spore Complete is specifically formulated with several spore-based probiotic strains to promote diversity and balance within the host gut microbiota. Each capsule provides key Bacillusstrains that remain in a dormant, protective state in the harsh GI environment, then become active on target to transiently re-establish and recondition the gut to help prevent small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) relapse.
