Bacillus coagulans Spores 2B CFU (LactoSpore®)

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

Bacillus coagulans 2B CFU (LactoSpore®) from EssentialSeries is a dietary supplement made with the MTCC 5856 bacterial strain in spore form. Each vegetable capsule provides 2 × 10⁹ CFU, equivalent to 2,000 million viable units.

For its production we chose LactoSpore® from Sabinsa, a branded raw material that lets you know the strain used and its concentration. The formula is finished with 150 mg of Orafti®Inulin and comes in a practical format of 60 vegetable capsules.

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 trademark of Sabinsa Corporation that contains spores of Bacillus coagulans MTCC 5856. Its value lies in offering a specific, identified, and documented strain, rather than a generic reference to the species.

Within the same species there can be strains with different characteristics. That’s why knowing the complete code matters. MTCC refers to the Microbial Type Culture Collection and Gene Bank, while 5856 is the number identifying this particular strain in the collection.

This identification eases the traceability of the raw material and allows linking the ingredient used with scientific documentation developed specifically on the MTCC 5856 strain.

What does the spore format contribute?

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

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

2,000 million CFU: a quality concentration

The acronym CFU stands for “colony forming units.” This measure shows how many viable units can grow and form colonies under controlled culture conditions.

Expressing concentration in CFU provides more information than just the weight of the ingredient. In our formula, each capsule provides 2 × 10⁹ CFU of LactoSpore®, i.e., 2,000 million 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 your routine?

Its capsule format makes it very easy to fit into day-to-day. It can be taken with water at the most convenient time, following the usage directions on the label.

Choosing a regular time can help maintain a consistent routine. It doesn’t need to be mixed with foods or drinks, making it practical to take on the go.

What products can it be paired with?

If you want to broaden your range 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® 200 mg 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 identifying the exact bacterial strain used. MTCC refers to the microorganism collection where 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 concrete strain. Knowing the strain helps you know more precisely which raw material the product contains and its volume and the scientific research backing it.

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 million 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 2B CFU concentration

At HSN we’ve gathered everything you’re looking for in a quality product: LactoSpore® from Sabinsa, MTCC 5856 strain, spore format, and 2,000 million CFU per capsule.

Its combination with Orafti®Inulin, its vegetable capsule, and its clean label formulation complete a practical option for those seeking quality.
