The microbial power behind Bacospore®.
At the heart of Bacospore® is Heyndrickxia coagulans, a Gram-positive, rod-shaped, spore-forming bacterium known for lactic acid production. Its ability to form resilient endospores helps the microorganism withstand challenging conditions such as heat, acidity, and bile exposure, supporting stability during processing, storage, and gastrointestinal transit.
The spore form: built for stability.
The functional component of Bacospore® is the viable spore preparation of H. coagulans. The spore-forming nature of the microorganism supports stability during processing, storage and gastrointestinal transit.
From environmental microorganism to controlled cultivation.
H. coagulans is naturally associated with environmental sources such as soil and has also been reported in agricultural materials and fermented foods.
For Bacospore®, the selected strain is cultivated under controlled fermentation conditions rather than collected from natural sources, allowing standardized production and batch-to-batch consistency.
