According to the International Scientific Association for Probiotics and Prebiotics (ISAPP), synbiotics are a mixture of live microorganisms and substrates that benefit the host's health. The specific ingredients in Alloy Synbiotics include three distinct probiotic spore strains combined with two specialized prebiotic compounds to support a healthy gut microbiome.

As a fermented superfood, natto is packed with beneficial microorganisms that contribute to its impressive health benefits. The probiotic responsible for transforming soybeans into the signature slimy, pungent Japanese dish is a powerful, heat-resistant bacteria called *Bacillus subtilis* var. *natto*. Unlike many common probiotic strains, its spore-forming nature allows it to withstand the harsh journey through your digestive system, reaching the intestines alive and ready to work.

According to a 2018 meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials, *Bacillus clausii* significantly reduced the duration of acute pediatric diarrhea when combined with standard rehydration therapy. This highlights why many consider *Bacillus clausii* a good probiotic, possessing resilient spore-forming characteristics that allow it to reach the intestine intact and confer therapeutic benefits.
