Benefits As A Probiotic

Benefits of Lactobacillus sporogenes (Bacillus coagulans) as a Probiotic

Clinical studies have revealed that Lactobacillus sporogenes (Bacillus coagulans) can be successfully implanted in the
intestine. As explained in an earlier section, L. sporogenes (B. coagulans) satisfies the essential requirements of an efficient
probiotic. Preparations of L. sporogenes (B. coagulans) in pharmaceutical dosage forms such as tablets, capsules, dried
granules or powder have the following characteristics:

Contain a large number of viable lactobacilli that retain viability during preparation in pharmaceutical dosage forms and
during storage before consumption. The spores are thermostable as against viable L. acidophilus cells which may not
withstand lyophilization.
Survive in gastric secretions and bile of the upper digestive tract and reach the intestine safely.
Settle in the digestive tract and produce enough lactic acid and other antagonistic substances to inhibit the growth of
pathogenic bacteria.

Being sporulated, they germinate under favorable conditions and produce sufficient viable cells which proliferate and perform
vital healthful functions as described earlier. In addition, L. sporogenes (B. coagulans) spores are semi-resident and are slowly
excreted out of the body (7 days after discontinuation of administration).
