Bacillus Coagulans (GBI-30)

What is Bacillus Coagulans?

Bacillus coagulans is a type of beneficial bacteria that is often found in probiotic supplements. It is a spore-forming, lactic acid-producing bacteria that can survive the acidic environment of the stomach and make its way to the intestines.

The GBI-30 strain of B. coagulans used in supplements is produced through a controlled fermentation process. This ensures an consistently high quality and potency. GBI-30 has demonstrated effectiveness for supporting digestive and immune health in several clinical studies.

How Does Bacillus Coagulans Benefit Health?

B. coagulans GBI-30 offers numerous evidence-based health benefits:

• Supports digestive health: B. coagulans helps digest lactose and other hard-to-breakdown carbohydrates. It balances gut flora, reduces bloating and gas production, and prevents occasional diarrhoea.
• Boosts immune function: GBI-30 enhances antibody production and boosts immune cell activity to better defend against pathogens.
• Improves nutrient absorption: By improving digestive function and gut barrier integrity, B. coagulans can help increase absorption of nutrients from food.

These benefits make B. coagulans especially helpful for those with intermittent digestive issues, compromised immunity, or wanting to optimise nutrition.

Is Bacillus Coagulans Safe?

Multiple clinical studies have demonstrated the safety of GBI-30 supplementation at the recommended dosage. No severe adverse events have been reported.

Transient minor side effects are very uncommon and mild if they occur. They include loose stools, bloating, or flatulence. These symptoms usually subside within 1-2 weeks as the body adjusts. B. coagulans is considered very well tolerated overall.

As with any supplement, one should check with a doctor before use if there are any medical conditions or medications being taken. Use should be avoided if any ingredient sensitivities are discovered.
