In this episode of The NatureCity Podcast, host Carl Pradelli, CEO and co-founder of NatureCity, explores the benefits of one of the best probiotic strain options available for supplements. It’s a strain of Bacillus subtilis called DE111®.
Carl explains how your gut is estimated to contain more than 100 trillion bacteria, which is why supplementing with a diverse group of probiotic strains may help you maintain a healthy balance of beneficial gut bacteria – which is believed to be foundational to good health.
You’ll hear how DE111 stands apart from the more common Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium probiotic strains (which are also important) by forming protective spores that ensure survival during manufacturing, storage, and digestion.
DE111 has been the subject of much research, and Carl also details some of the key benefits highlighted in these scientific studies. These benefits go beyond the expected digestive and immune health support.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in practical, science-based ways to improve digestion and strengthen the gut microbiome and wellness naturally.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode
- How DE111’s spore-forming structure protects it from moisture, oxygen and stomach acid.
- Why gut microbial diversity matters for long-term digestive and immune health.
- What makes Bacillus subtilis DE111 unique among probiotic strains.
- How DE111 can support digestion, regularity, nutrient absorption, and more.
- Why pairing TrueDYB with TrueLife PB can provide full-spectrum gut support.
