LACTOBACILLUS SPOROGENES

One of the primary products of us a revolutionary new friendly bacteria. It is a spore – forming bacteria that make it the choicest probiotic with enormous clinical application.

It plays a predominant role in intestinal digestion by synthesizing Vitamin B3,B5, B6, B12,folic acid, biotin, Vitamin K, bacteriocins and digestive enzymes such as amylase, protease and lipase. It helps in assimilation of proteins and in digestion of lactose containing diary products. This lactic –acid producing bacteria is one of the most practical forms for use in supplements, safely enclosed within a spora coat that protects it from the environment.

Lactobacillus sporogenes is resistant to heat, antibiotics and digestives acids. Spores can germinate under favorable conditions. On oral administration, these spores are activated due to the low pH in the gastric environment of the stomach with a rise in the metabolic rate of the sporulated bacilli. The spores pass on to the duodenum, where they germinate and transform in to viable vegetative cells.

They begin to proliferate in the small intestine, multiplying rapidly. These cells in the intestinal tract produce (+) Lactic acid and bacteriocins depriving the growth of pathogenic bacteria. In addition, these spores being semi-resident are sloely excreted out of the body(10-12 days) after discontinuation of administrationand thus possess the ideal characteristics of a drug without causing side effects. Lactobacillus Sporogenes plays an important role in the cholestrol metabolism of their host. Intestinal bacteria have been shown to convert cholestrol in to a less absorbable (coprostanol), thus hampering its absorption from the intestinal tract.
