Already available in Japan and South Korea, where it is used in the treatment of intestinal disorders such as diarrhoea and constipation, Bacillus polyfermenticus has now been found to reduce rectal bleeding, lessen tissue inflammation, and promote weight gain in mice with colitis.
The study also showed increased blood vessel growth (important for healing damaged tissue) both in the intestinal lining of mice and in human intestinal cells.
