The word probiotic literally means “for life.” A probiotic is defined as any live microorganism that is naturally found in the human gut and confers benefits to the body.* In recent months, these “friendly bacteria” have gained huge popularity! Countless studies have confirmed their numerous health-promoting properties, helping to propel them to the upper echelon of the supplement world.* When the right kind of probiotic is consumed in the right quantities, these good bacteria can have a profound impact on whole body health by shifting the ecosystem of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.*

Lactobacillus bacteria (such as Lactobacillus acidophilus) have long been considered the gold standard for probiotics. However, new reports on the survival and effectiveness of these microorganisms have shifted the conversation. Digestive health experts now recognize the inherent limitations of most lactobacillus:

Require huge overages (to meet label claims for CFU)

Do not retain viability during the manufacturing process

Do not survive digestive transit

Do not reach the large intestine

Secrete D-lactic acid (unfavorable for health)*

Do not create diversity in gut microflora (as trillions of lactobacillus already reside in the human GI tract)

Spore probiotics are emerging as a promising alternative to lactobacilli. The science suggests that spores have multiple advantages over lactobacilli:

Do not require refrigeration

Resist stomach acid breakdown*

Effectively colonize the human GI tract*

Secrete L-lactic acid (favorable for health)*

Create diversity in gut microflora (only 500 million bacillus naturally reside in the human gut, so a 6 billion CFU dose is at least 12x greater and stimulates a strong biological response)*
