Our Probiotics 16 has been blended for shelf-stability and we order frequently to keep our stock fresh, however, as vegetative bacteria, the blend that we offer in capsules could never survive in a powdered drink mix, even though many marketing rats like to add fragile vegetative probiotics to their drink mixes as window dressing.    

Because probiotics are so important to gut health, when we designed our new Soothing Greens formula, we learned about a strain of probiotics that are stable in foods, even in baked goods.  The difference?  The super stable friendly bacteria are in fact “spore-forming” probiotics.

Based on our research, we selected Ganeden-BC30™ spore-forming probiotics for their superior survivability and confidently added them to our new Soothing Greens product.

Spore-Forming Probiotics Survive all the Way to Your Gut!

Spore-forming organisms grow a protective layer to keep themselves dormant-but-alive until they detect a more favorable environment for their survival. Spore-forming probiotics wait until they reach your intestines before they open up and begin colonizing, and the survival rates of these strategic friendly bacteria are unparalleled. This means no fretting if friendly bacteria will make it through harsh stomach acid all the way to your gut.

Fast fact: While not well known, spore-forming probiotics have actually been around since the early 1930s!

Spore-forming probiotics, in particular, have been linked with protecting DNA against genotoxins. Research suggests that spore-forming Bacillus-based probiotics could be useful for reducing the gastrointestinal risk originating from genotoxic agents.

Idiot-Proof Reasons to Keep Healthy Bacteria

Concentrated in the mouth, intestines, and vaginal tract, probiotics act as microscopic defenders against unfriendly invading organisms. Probiotics also break down food for digestion, produce the lactase enzyme (to help digest milk sugar), produce and support absorption of vitamins in the intestinal tract, and change your intestines pH to create less desirable conditions for harmful organisms.

With a healthy amount of spore-forming probiotics, Soothing Greens simplifies your routine when you want to improve gastro-intestinal health and thus your immune system (I can’t remind you enough, most of your immune system is in your gut!).
