Probiotic Bacillus Coagulans

Various factors, such as unhealthy dietary choices (including fast food and alcohol), stress, illness, and antibiotic use can disrupt and upset the balance of our gut microbiome. Probiotics are live microorganisms that can be ingested to promote positive health effects on the digestive system, subsequently benefiting other body systems in turn.

Bacillus coagulans is a specific spore-forming probiotic strain known for enhancing gastrointestinal health and supporting the immune system, valued for its durability and effectiveness. The Bacillus coagulans SNZ 1969® used in Protein & Organic Greens have been carefully encapsulated to enhance their viability. This encapsulation ensures that the gut-friendly probiotic reaches the intestines intact and viable, maintaining its active form to exert its beneficial effects. Backed by more than 30 human studies confirming health benefits including digestive health, oral health, and women’s health, Bacillus coagulans SNZ 1969® boasts an exceptional history of use, stability profile, research, and genetic pedigree.

Consuming this probiotic has been identified to foster a healthy gut microbiome by increasing populations of beneficial probiotic microorganisms including Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria in the gut, while reducing numbers of harmful gut bacteria. Bacillus coagulans has been studied in clinical research to improve gastrointestinal function by restoring balance to the gut microbiome and reducing uncomfortable gastrointestinal symptoms, including abdominal gas and bloating in adults. Additionally, research highlights its potential in reducing symptoms and improving quality of life of individuals with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), demonstrating improvements in abdominal pain, bloating, vomiting, diarrhoea, stool frequency, and quality of life.

As 70-80% of our body’s immune cells are located within the gut, there is a unique interplay between the digestive and immune systems, where an unhealthy gut may compromise immune response. Hence, a balanced and healthy gut microbiome is crucial in supporting a strong immune system. Probiotics such as Bacillus coagulans are influential in providing immune support, especially during periods of illness, where supplementation has been shown to enhance the body’s natural immune defenses.
