Lactic Acid Bacillus - LactoSpore

L. sporogenes was first isolated and described in 1933 by L.M. Horowitz Wlassowou & N.W. Nowotelnow
Documented clinical efficacy
Characteristic properties
Gram positive, Indole negative, rod-shaped bacteria with terminal spores
Produces only L(+) lactic acid
Naturally microencapsulated for stability
Proliferates in the GI tract
Extremely challenging organisms
Optimal growth at 30°C to 37°C and optimum pH between 5.5 and 6.2
Microaerophilic
The acidic environment created by the production of L(+) lactic acid and other antimicrobial compounds prevents the growth of disease-causing microbes such as Clostridia, which are responsible for the production of unwanted gases.
Long and slender cells (0.3 to 0.8 micron)
Colonies are usually 2.5 mm in diameter, convex, smooth, shiny and produce no pigment

What is LactoSpore®?
Probiotics are one of the few nutritional supplements that are popular as a way to maintain overall health. LactoSpore® is one such clinically proven and commercial probiotic product from Sabinsy that contains a microbial preparation that produces L(+) lactic acid from Bacillus coagulans, MTCC 5856 (formerly known as Lactobacillus sporogenes).

How do probiotics work?
The mechanisms responsible for the health effects of probiotics are not yet fully understood. However, the beneficial effects of probiotics, especially for gut health-related conditions, can be attributed to: i) improved gut microbiota and ii) the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which further help to fight low-grade inflammation.

Safety
The health benefits and safety of a probiotic strain largely depend on the strain and not the species or genus, so it is important to verify the safety aspects of a probiotic strain. LactoSpore® has been found to be safe and well tolerated by healthy individuals when ingested orally.

Clinical
Although probiotics have long been well known for their support of overall digestive health, it has recently been discovered that these "friendly" bacteria can do much more than just aid digestion! Several studies have suggested their supportive role in immune system management, irritable bowel syndrome, weight management and even cholesterol control.

LactoSpore® is a commercial probiotic formulation containing a microbial L(+) lactic acid-producing formulation from Bacillus coagulans, MTCC 5856 (formerly known as Lactobacillus sporogenes).

The human digestive tract contains about 400 different species of bacteria that reduce the growth of harmful bacteria and support a healthy digestive system. And lactic acid-producing bacteria are the largest population group of all. LactoSpore® produces L(+) lactic acid, grows in a temperature range of 35°C to 50°C, and has an optimal pH range of 5.5 to 6.5.

The role of lactic acid bacteria in gastrointestinal microecology has been the subject of extensive research.

Given the pressures of modern existence, maintaining a normal, healthy and balanced microbial population (EUBIOSIS) in the gastrointestinal tract is a challenging task. Other factors that can make this task even more difficult are stress caused by sudden changes in food consumption patterns, exposure to environmental pollutants, extensive travel and unexpected weather changes. It has also been found that in conditions such as eczema and certain food allergies, there is an unfavourable balance of gut bacteria, with a marked reduction in lactic acid bacteria and an increase in putrefactive pathogens in the faecal flora.

Thus, a logical approach to restore the balance of the gut flora would be to use naturally occurring microorganisms. The best and potential species among Lactobacillus is Bacillus coagulans. This species forms spores that, when activated in the acidic environment of the stomach, can germinate and multiply in the intestine, producing the popular L(+) form of lactic acid and effectively inhibiting the growth of pathogens.

LactoSpore® by Sabinsy is one such probiotic supplement that can help you maintain your overall health and a balanced population of gut flora!
