Bacillus coagulans Spores 2B CFU (LactoSpore®)

What are the Bacillus coagulans 2B CFU spores (LactoSpore®)?

Bacillus coagulans 2B CFU (LactoSpore®) from Biotics Nutrition is a dietary supplement made with the MTCC 5856 bacterial strain in spore form. Each plant-based capsule provides 2 × 10⁹ CFU, equivalent to 2.000 billion viable units.

For its production we selected LactoSpore® from Sabinsa, a branded raw material that allows knowing the strain used and its concentration. The formula is completed with 150 mg of Orafti® Inulin and comes in a 60-vegetarian capsule format and practical.

We don’t just state the bacterial species: we identify the MTCC 5856 strain and express its concentration in CFU.

LactoSpore®: a raw material with a proper name

LactoSpore® is a registered Sabinsa Corporation brand that contains spores of Bacillus coagulans MTCC 5856. Its value lies in offering a concrete, identified, and documented strain, instead of a generic reference to the species.

Within the same species there can be strains with different characteristics. That’s why knowing the full code is important. MTCC stands for the Microbial Type Culture Collection and Gene Bank, while 5856 is the number identifying this specific strain within the collection.

This identification facilitates traceability of the raw material and lets you relate the ingredient used to the scientific documentation developed specifically on the MTCC 5856 strain.

What does the spore format bring?

A spore is a tough, temporarily inactive form that some bacteria can take when conditions aren’t favorable. It’s not an inactivated bacteria: the spore remains viable and can return to its active form when conditions are right.

This structure acts as natural protection against factors like heat or acidic environments. Studies with Bacillus coagulans MTCC 5856 have shown good stability during different processes and high resistance in simulated gastric conditions. This helps preserve its viability and makes spores a particularly interesting format for our formula.

2.000 billion CFU: a quality concentration

The initials CFU mean “colony forming units.” This measure indicates how many viable units can grow and form colonies under controlled culture conditions.

Expressing the concentration in CFU provides more information than just stating the ingredient’s weight. In our formula, each capsule provides 2 × 10⁹ CFU of LactoSpore®, i.e., 2.000 billion viable units of the MTCC 5856 strain.

Who uses LactoSpore®?

It’s a good option for those seeking a dietary supplement with a bacterial strain of Bacillus coagulans MTCC 5856, a concentration expressed in CFU and the backing of a branded raw material.

How to integrate it into the routine?

Its capsule format makes it very easy to add to day-to-day life. It can be taken with water at the time that’s most convenient, following the usage instructions on the label.

Choosing a regular time can help maintain a constant routine. It doesn’t need to be mixed with foods or drinks, so it’s also handy to take on the go.

What products can it be paired with?

If you want to expand your selection with a versatile fiber format, you can pair it with RawSeries Inulin powder, easy to add to drinks and recipes.

Another complementary option is DigeZyme® 200mg from EssentialSeries, a vegan tablet formula made with five different enzymes. Both products can be part of the same routine.

Frequently asked questions

What does MTCC 5856 mean?

It’s the code that identifies the specific bacterial strain used. MTCC refers to the microorganism collection in which it’s registered, while 5856 is its identification number.

What’s the difference between a species and a strain?

Bacillus coagulans is the species, while MTCC 5856 identifies the specific strain. Knowing the strain helps you know more precisely what raw material the product contains and what its volume and scientific research quality are.

Are the spores viable units?

Yes. The spores stay in a resistant and temporarily inactive state, but keep their viability. That’s why their concentration can be expressed in CFU.

What do the 2.000 billion CFU mean?

It means that each capsule provides 2 × 10⁹ colony forming units. It’s a direct and reliable way to express the amount of viable units present.

A specific strain, with a concentration of 2B CFU

At HSN we’ve gathered everything you’re after in a quality product: LactoSpore® from Sabinsa, MTCC 5856 strain, spore format and 2.000 billion CFU per capsule.
