What it is
DE111 is a specific strain of Bacillus subtilis, a type of bacteria. It is produced through fermentation, a process where microorganisms convert carbohydrates into alcohol or acids. This strain is known for its ability to form spores, which helps it survive harsh conditions like stomach acid.

Health notes
DE111 is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in certain food categories. Studies suggest that it can contribute to a healthy gut microbiome. International bodies like the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have also evaluated Bacillus subtilis strains for safety in food applications.
