Bacillus subtilis evidence is strain-specific. The label name alone cannot establish that a product delivers the preparation or dose tested in research.
Different fibre and biotic combinations changed digestion and stool measurements, but the trial cannot identify one ingredient as responsible.
This specific probiotic did not prevent the measured microbial changes during the tested food transition.
Selected foods differed in digestion and stool measurements. This short experiment does not establish which format produces better lifelong health.
An 18-dog trial compared raw, pasteurised and heat-treated foods. Digestibility and other measurements differed, but the results do not establish lifelong health superiority.
