Probiotics for Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth

Did you know the strains of bacteria used in MegaSporeBiotic have shown to be clinically effective for small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO)?

What is SIBO?

"The small bowel, also known as the small intestine, is part of the digestive system that connects the stomach with the large bowel or colon. The main purpose of the small intestine is to digest and absorb food into the body. The small bowel is divided into three parts:  the duodenum (which food from the stomach empties into), the jejunum and the ileum (which empties undigested food into the large intestine or colon).

 The entire gastrointestinal tract, including the small intestine, normally contains bacteria. The number of bacteria is greatest in the colon but much lower in the small intestine. Also, the types of bacteria within the small intestine are different to the types of bacteria within the colon. Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) refers to a condition in which abnormally large numbers of bacteria are present in the small intestine, while the types of bacteria found in the small intestine are more like the bacteria found in the colon.

Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) is also known as small bowel bacterial overgrowth syndrome (SBBOS)"[1]. 

Check out the following publication on utilizing Bacillus Clausii as treatment for SIBO.

 “Probiotics may play an antibacterial role ongut bacteria as a result of multiple mechanisms. [Bacillus Clausii] couldrepresent a promising, easily handled and well-tolerated treatment option forSIBO decontamination.”
