What is Bacillus subtilis?
Bacillus subtilis is a bacterium that occurs naturally in the human intestine. The bacterial strain used, Bacillus subtilis CU1, is very well researched, patented and highly stable. Bacillus subtilis has a high resistance to gastric acid, so that the bacterium can pass through the gastrointestinal tract almost unscathed. Bacillus subtilis has been regarded as a new super bacterium for some time and is therefore the subject of many scientific studies. 1 capsule of Bacillus subtilis plus contains 2.5 billion viable bacteria.
What is nattokinase?
Nattokinase is an enzyme which, like vitamin K2, is found in abundance in the traditional Japanese speciality Nattō. The enzyme is produced during the fermentation of soya beans by the bacterial strain Bacillus subtilis natto. The bacteria produce the enzyme in order to digest the soya proteins. The nattokinase contained in Bacillus subtilis plus is characterised by its high enzyme activity. 1 capsule of Bacillus subtilis plus contains 1000 FU (enzyme activity) or 50 mg nattokinase.
Important micronutrients for blood vessels3 and blood clotting2, immune system1 and mucous membranes5
Bacillus subtilis plus contains vitamin K in the form of long-chain vitamin K2 (all-trans MK-7). Vitamin K2 MK-7 is the most biologically active form of vitamin K and is much more stable (half-life of approx. 3 days) than vitamin K1 (1-2 hours). Vitamin K2 MK-7 is hardly absorbed through the diet; it is only found in large quantities in the fermented soya product Nattō. Vitamin K2 supports normal blood clotting by enabling the formation of clotting factors as well as anti-clotting factors, in particular protein S.
Bacillus subtilis plus also contains the micronutrients vitamin A, vitamin C and zinc, which are important for the immune system. Vitamin A contributes to the normal function of the mucous membranes (e.g. in the intestines and respiratory tract). The intake of vitamin A as retinol (effective vitamin A) makes sense, as only a small proportion of the precursor provitamin A (beta-carotene) found in vegetables and fruit is converted into the effective vitamin A. The micronutrients vitamin C and zinc are part of the antioxidant system and protect the cells from oxidative stress. Vitamin C also supports normal collagen formation for the normal function of blood vessels.
1 capsule of Bacillus subtilis plus contains 240 μg retinol equivalent vitamin A, 18 µg vitamin K2 (all-trans MK-7), 24 mg vitamin C and 5 mg zinc.
With the micronutrients contained in Bacillus subtilis plus, you can make a scientifically proven contribution to your health and to the following normal bodily functions:
- 1Support theimmune system - with vitamin A, vitamin C, zinc
- 2Supportnormal blood clotting - with vitamin K
- 3Supportnormal collagen formation for the normal function of blood vessels - with vitamin C
- 4Contribute tocell protection against oxidative stress - with vitamin C and zinc
- 5contribute tothe maintenance of mucous membranes (e.g. in the intestines and respiratory tract) - with vitamin A
