Lactospore®
Probiotics are one of the few supplements that are popularized as a way to maintain ones health, as a whole. LactoSpore® is one such clinically validated and commercial probiotic preparation from Sabinsa, containing L(+) lactic acid producing microbial preparation from Bacillus coagulans, MTCC 5856 (earlier known to be Lactobacillus sporogenes).
Mechanisms responsible for healthful effects of probiotics have not been uncovered completely, yet. However, beneficial effects of probiotics, especially in conditions related to gut health may be attributed to: i) improved gut microflora and ii) production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA), which further helps counter low-grade inflammation.
The health benefits and the safety of a probiotic strain largely depend up on the strain, and not the species or genus, hence validating the safety aspects of a probiotic strain is vital. LactoSpore® was found to be safe and well tolerated by healthy individuals when ingested orally.
