Botox® & Vistabel®

 

What's It Made Of

Botox® / Vistabel® is made from purified Botulinum Toxin Type - A, a neurotoxin produced by the bacteria Clostridium botulinum.

Clostridium botulinum is a group of rod-shaped bacteria commonly found in the soil that grow best under low oxygen conditions. The bacteria form heat-resistant spores which allow them to survive in a dormant state until exposed to conditions that can support their growth. Clostridium botulinum produces botulinum toxin, a highly potent neurotoxin and the basis of the disease botulism. Seven different serotypes are produced by the bacteria: A, B, C, D, E, F and G. It is purified forms (in this instance A) of these serotypes that form the basis of Botox® & Vistabel®.
