From the site: "Reef Bugs contain twelve strains of edible, non-pathogenic microbes in their encysted spore state. Packed with a mixture of minerals, vitamins, and carbohydrates, these microbes will hatch in about 30 minutes from when they hit the water. The additional particles then act as "carriers" for the microbes to "ride on" once they have hatched."
I'm a virologist, not a bacterologist (and maybe someone will chime in) but not all microbes sporulate and I find the term "edible" hilarious! Furthermore, purifying sporulated bugs is not the easiest thing to do.
Much like some of the other magic products from Wiess, which contain: "bioenzymes" "bioactivators" "bioenhancers"....you probably can get the same effect from feeding more.
If you want a bacterial source, use prodibio....at least they tell you the strains used.
