Ortho Spore IG is an Ortho Molecular Products formula created to enhance gut microflora. The broad-spectrum and spore-based probiotic product also helps protect the integrity of the mucosal, which is our first line of defense against pathogens. It also prevents (or stops) SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth). That’s a condition which usually takes place when the population of commensal bacteria from the colon is beyond the normal range in the small intestine, causing various health conditions, including dysbiosis – a disorder that favors the growth and invasion of pathogens within the digestive tract (at the expense of good bacteria). Ortho Spore IG contains bovine immunoglobulins (serum-derived) that eliminate the toxins and microbes most commonly found in SIBO.
SIBO is a condition that affects the health of small intestines that need a balanced microbiota to maintain their normal function. Immunoglobulins and probiotics can both contribute to maintaining the required balance in the small intestines while also affecting (positively) the intestinal environment in various ways.
Immune health has been found to be directly related to the gut barrier. It makes sense if we take into account that nearly 80% of the immune cells in the human body are located inside the intestinal lining (aka epithelium). So, the intestines actually act as our physical barrier, protecting us from potentially harmful substances. In doing so, though, they need to maintain a healthy microbiota, which means that they host a well-balanced and wide range of microbes that can also foster the healthy function of the immune system. According to research, immunoglobulins have binding capabilities that positively affect the function of the gut barrier and improve microbiome diversity.
Probiotics, on the other hand, have been evidenced to provide an impressive range of immune benefits, support healthy bowel function, boost the population of health-promoting bacteria when the gut microflora is imbalanced, and provide energy to the intestinal lining cells by increasing the production of short-chain fatty acids. All these contribute to a healthy gut mucosa and the detoxification of harmful compounds.
Ortho Spore IG contains not only immunoglobulins but also spore-forming probiotics for the better function of the gut. These bind a plethora of toxins and microbes within the lumen of the gut, removing them and resetting healthy immune tolerance. At the same time, they help build a strong gut barrier that can protect us from a broad spectrum of immune challenges.
Bacillus spores can either take an active or dormant form, depending on the environment. When first consumed, they remain dormant until they reach the GI tract, where the environment is more favorable. Up to that moment, the Bacillus spores surround themselves with a tough outer shell (aka endospore) that protects them from environmental factors, such as lack of oxygen, pressure, heat, and light, that could harm them. In the large intestine, though, they transition into their active form and colonize the gut to promote microbial diversity and restore gut microflora balance. Ortho Spore IG contains a blend of three different bacillus strains that are found to effectively relieve symptoms for common gastrointestinal issues while promoting the healthy function of the gut.
The formula has the following key compounds:
Bacillus coagulans – According to research, Bacillus coagulans can improve the microbiota of the intestines and enhance bowel movements in healthy adults. Besides helping with occasional constipation, Bacillus coagulans may also reduce abdominal discomfort.
Bacillus clausii – A Bacillus strain that has demonstrated potent health-promoting results in people with SIBO and can also encourage microbiome balance.
Bacillus subtilis – A probiotic that is shown to help alleviate GI-related stress.
Bovine immunoglobulins – The serum-derived immunoglobulins in the Ortho Spore IG formula come with impressive broad-spectrum binding attributes that positively influence gut health. They help restore immune tolerance while also eliminating toxins and microbes encountered by the immune system.
Take three (3) capsules daily unless your healthcare professional instructs otherwise.
Ortho Spore IG does not contain common allergens, including tree nuts, egg, shellfish, fish, corn, dairy products, soy, wheat, or gluten. It is also free of artificial sweeteners and colors. It also has no preservatives.
Always consult your physician before taking Ortho Spore IG, especially if you are nursing or pregnant.
Q: Should I keep the product refrigerated?
A: No, there is no need to refrigerate the formula. The company provides guaranteed potency at expiration.
Q: How long does it take to see a noticeable improvement in SIBO symptoms?
A: It depends on the case. More than often, patients report feeling much better within two weeks after taking the formula. This includes both long standing symptoms and abdominal pain.
Q: How do I ensure I get the maximum benefit from probiotics?
A: Probiotics are live organisms that need to reach the intestinal tract to deliver their health-promoting benefits. In doing so, they must be self-stable until their expiration date.
