Introducing Bacospore®

Stable spore-forming probiotic, engineered by biology.

Bacospore® is a stable, spore-forming probiotic preparation containing Heyndrickxia coagulans, formerly Bacillus coagulans. Unlike many non-spore-forming probiotics, its resistant spores are designed to tolerate acidic and challenging environmental conditions, supporting delivery through the gastrointestinal tract.

Bacospore® is standardized for viable spores and manufactured using a controlled fermentation process. The strain can produce short-chain organic acids, bacteriocin-like substances, exopolysaccharides and digestive enzymes: a profile associated with intestinal microbial balance, digestive comfort, nutrient utilization and gastrointestinal health.

Functional Components

What Bacospore® produces.

Bacospore®'s functional activity is not based on a single standardized phytochemical. The strain produces a set of microbiology-derived components identified in the product overview and associated with intestinal microbial balance.

  • Short-Chain Organic Acids

    Produced during microbial metabolism and associated with intestinal environmental support.

  • Bacteriocin-Like Substances

    Microbial substances that may help limit the growth of undesirable organisms.

  • Exopolysaccharides

    Biologically active microbial polymers associated with probiotic functionality and microbial interactions.

  • Amylases & Proteases

    Enzymes associated with the digestion of carbohydrates and proteins and improved nutrient utilization.

Health Benefits

Six research-backed positioning areas.

  • Healthy Intestinal Microflora

    Helps maintain a balanced gastrointestinal microbial environment.

  • Digestive Comfort

    Supports normal digestion, stool consistency and gastrointestinal function.

  • Gut-Barrier Integrity

    Helps maintain epithelial and intestinal-barrier function.

  • Nutrient Digestion & Absorption

    Produces enzymes and metabolites associated with digestive efficiency.

  • Immune Function

    Supports interactions between the intestinal microbiome and normal immune responses.

  • Antioxidant & Metabolic Support

    Preclinical findings indicate antioxidant activity and effects on cholesterol and adipogenic pathways.

Strain-specific preclinical evidence

Multifunctional preclinical evidence.

In an ethanol-induced gastric-ulcer model, Bacospore® administration significantly reduced the ulcer index. Laboratory evaluations also reported dose-dependent antioxidant activity and cholesterol reduction. These findings support further investigation of Bacospore® for gastrointestinal, metabolic and cellular-protection applications.
