Probiotics are now a common part of health and wellness routines because they help to maintain a healthy gut- which is important for your overall sense of well-being. However, Lactospore®️, a probiotic derived from Bacillus coagulans MTCC 5856 stands out as a key player in supporting your gut microbiome. It also offers a range of health benefits we’ll discuss below.
Before we delve into the specific benefits of Lactospore®️ and why you’ll find this powerhouse probiotic in many of our supplements, it’s a good idea to understand why a healthy gut microbiome is important in the first place.
Why does your gut microbiome matter?
A thriving gut microbiome is crucial for your health and plays an important role in everything from your digestive system to your immunity and even your weight. Here are five compelling reasons why maintaining a healthy gut microbiome matters:
1 Good digestion: A healthy gut microbiome promotes smooth digestion by helping to break down the food that you eat fast and efficiently, thus reducing issues like bloating, gassiness, and discomfort.
2 Immune support: A well-balanced gut enhances the proper functioning of the immune system, helping to give your body a robust defence system against infections and supporting quicker recovery from illnesses.
3 Nutrient absorption: A happy gut aids in the absorption of essential nutrients from the food you eat, ensuring your body gets the full benefit. This is because a strong, healthy gut houses a diverse community of microorganisms that assist in breaking down and processing food, allowing the body to take in all the nutrients you need.
4 Mood boost: The gut-brain connection is real! A healthy gut contributes to better mental well-being and can positively impact your mood. On the flip side, research from Harvard Health shows that “A troubled intestine can send signals to the brain, just as a troubled brain can send signals to the gut. Therefore, a person's stomach or intestinal distress can be the cause or the product of anxiety, stress, or depression. That's because the brain and the gastrointestinal (GI) system are intimately connected.”
5 Weight management: A well-balanced gut assists your metabolism to run smoothly, making it easier for your body to process calories. Additionally, studies show that probiotics which contribute to a healthy and diverse microbiome, also help to reduce inflammation, promoting an environment that supports overall metabolic health.
So, why Lactospore®️?
According to health science company and creators of Lactospore®️, Sabinsa, it’s a superior probiotic strain as it’s stable at room temperature, can be used effectively in a variety of supplements and doesn’t need to be refrigerated like some other probiotics on the market.
It’s also the only spore-forming probiotic which means it can survive extreme temperature variations (like extreme heat or freezing) plus it survives the acidity of the stomach, bile acids and digestive enzymes.
When Lactospore®️ gets to your intestines, it makes lactic acid (hence the word ‘lacto’ in the name). This lactic acid lowers the pH of the intestinal environment, making it slightly more acidic, thus preventing bad bacteria like Escherichia coli, Salmonella, and Clostridium from growing. This helps keep your gut balanced and lowers the chance of tummy infections.
GOOD TO KNOW: Don’t be confused by the name LactoSpore®️. This probiotic isn’t cultured on any kind of milk product. The name comes from the fact that it makes lactic acid.
The known benefits of Lactospore®️
Lactospore®️ positively affects gut health through its distinct properties and mechanisms of action. Here are just a few of its benefits:
Protects your gut lining
Studies show that probiotics like Lactospore®️ support the gut barrier by ramping up the production of tight junction proteins, acting like a shield for the intestinal lining. This helps minimise the risk of harmful substances entering your bloodstream, contributing to a happier and healthier gut overall.
Reduces inflammation
Persistent inflammation can harm your gut, possibly causing issues like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). But research shows that Lactospore®️ can help to minimise IBS-related symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea and vomiting.

Lowers cholesterol
Studies show that Lactospore®️ might help your heart by possibly lowering total cholesterol and the not-so-good LDL cholesterol levels, which is beneficial for your cardiovascular health.
Supports a well-functioning immune system
Because Lactospore®️ creates a healthier, more diverse microbiome, it also gives your immune system the support it needs to function optimally, making it better at fighting off infections and keeping you in good overall health.
