Research and Education

The digestive system contains trillions of microorganisms collectively known as the gut microbiome. Researchers continue to investigate the important role these microorganisms play in overall health and wellbeing.

What Makes Bacillus Coagulans Different?

Bacillus coagulans is a unique probiotic because it naturally forms a protective spore.

Unlike many probiotic species, the spore helps protect the bacteria from heat, moisture and stomach acid.

This allows the bacteria to remain stable and reach the intestines alive.

Lactic Acid Producing Bacteria

Once active in the gut, Bacillus coagulans produces lactic acid, helping to create an environment that supports beneficial gut bacteria.

This is one reason it has become one of the most researched probiotic strains available today.

What is FOS?

Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) are naturally occurring prebiotic fibres.

Prebiotics are often described as food for beneficial bacteria because they pass through the upper digestive tract largely undigested before being utilised by microorganisms in the colon.

Probiotics and Prebiotics Together

Combining probiotics and prebiotics is often referred to as a synbiotic approach.

The probiotic provides beneficial bacteria, while the prebiotic provides nourishment to help support their growth and activity.
