The human digestive tract contains about 400 different bacterial species that reduce the growth of harmful bacteria and promote a healthy digestive system. Two of the most widely known and characterized bacterial strains are Bacillus coagulans ( earlier known as Lactobacillus sporogenes) and Lactobacillus acidophilus. These two strains are found in the digestive, urinary and genital systems, as well as in fermented foods and other dietary supplements, such as yogurt.

Bacillus Coagulans is a lactic acid-forming bacterial species. Bacillus Coagulan is active when suitable substrates for their growth are available, and they are inactive (form spore) when their nutrients become exhausted.

Several studies have shown that Lactobacillus has been beneficial in a wide variety of diseases and conditions, such as bowel problems, rotavirus, traveler’s diarrhea, and diarrhea caused by medications. It helps with problems digesting lactose. It boosts immune system. It also can be used to prevent infections in the respiratory system, and to prevent cancer or cancer-forming molecules.

Bacillus Coagulans can survive the harsh digestive process and populate the colon at a 30% higher rate than other probiotics.
