Bacillus Coagulans

Bacillus coagulans is a gram positive, spore forming bacterium. It is non-pathogenic and safe for human consumption. Being naturally encapsulated, it is a very tough and stable probiotic making it the probiotic of choice in the food and pharmaceutical industry.

Benefits of Bacillus Coagulans

  • Improves growth and Feed Conversion Ratio(FCR)
  • Enhances gastrointestinal health by balancing gut microflora
  • Enhances coat texture in pets
  • Effective against chronic diarrhea
  • Improves immunity in dogs, chickens and other farm animals by stimulating antibodies against pathogens

The hard exterior of Bacillus coagulans confers the following features:

High survivability Can withstand the harsh environment of stomach acid (low pH) and bile juices to reach the intestine where it colonizes
Highly resilient Can survive the shipping, manufacturing, and transport processes without loss of any viability
Superior viability Stable at room temperature, requires no refrigeration
Resistant to a greater range of temperature Can survive a range of temperatures - high boiling to low freezing temperatures. This has a wide application in the food industry as it can be incorporated into a broad range of foods
Needs no micro encapsulation Makes it a cost effective probiotic which can be incorporated into a wide range of foods
