FAQ
Body Biotics is a formula of Soil-Based Organisms (SBO probiotics) — a category radically different from classic lactic acid probiotics (Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium). SBOs are spore-forming bacteria naturally found in healthy soil — notably Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus coagulans and Bacillus clausii. Their protective spore makes them extremely resistant to heat, gastric acidity and antibiotics, unlike fragile probiotics that often die before reaching the colon. They effectively colonise the intestine and have been used in human medicine since the 1940s.
The SBO strains contained in Body Biotics are GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) species approved by the US FDA for human consumption. Bacillus coagulans and Bacillus subtilis in particular have a long documented history of human use. Clinical studies on Bacillus coagulans show beneficial effects on symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome, constipation and general digestive health. The European EFSA has also positively evaluated several Bacillus strains for human nutrition.
No, this is one of the major advantages of spore-forming probiotics. Bacillus spores are naturally resistant to heat, light and humidity — they do not need refrigeration to maintain their viability, unlike Lactobacillus which must be kept cold. Body Biotics can be stored at room temperature, making it ideal for travel and for people who forget to refrigerate their supplements. Simply store away from excessive heat and moisture.
Follow the recommendations on the Kiki Health packaging. Generally, SBO probiotics are taken with water, preferably on an empty stomach in the morning or 30 minutes before meals to maximise the survival of spores to the colon. Start with a low dose for the first few weeks if you have a sensitive gut — too rapid an increase can cause transient bloating related to microbiome reorganisation. The optimal dose may vary according to your individual microbiome.
Clinical trials on Bacillus coagulans (one of the key SBO strains) show promising results for IBS. A randomised controlled study published in Postgraduate Medicine (2009) demonstrated that Bacillus coagulans significantly reduced abdominal pain, bloating and the frequency of diarrhoeal episodes in IBS patients versus placebo over 8 weeks. SBOs may also help reduce intestinal hyperpermeability (leaky gut) by supporting the integrity of the epithelial barrier.
The natural resistance of Bacillus spores to many antibiotics is documented — this is a biological property of spore-forming organisms. However, as a precaution, take Body Biotics at least 2 to 4 hours apart from antibiotics. After a course of antibiotics, Body Biotics can help restore the intestinal microbiome. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for specific advice depending on the antibiotic prescribed.
Check the Kiki Health label for the exact list of ingredients and potential allergens linked to the formula's excipients. The bacterial strains themselves are of natural origin and contain no animal products. Body Biotics is generally gluten-free, dairy-free and soy-free — but confirm on the packaging for those with severe food allergies.
