What it is

Bacillus coagulans is a type of bacteria that forms spores. It is often grown in a lab and then dried to create a powder.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add Bacillus coagulans to foods and drinks as a source of probiotics, which are live microorganisms thought to benefit gut health. It is commonly found in beverages, snack bars, and other foods marketed for their health benefits.

Health notes

Bacillus coagulans is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in certain foods. Some research suggests it may help with digestive issues, but more studies are needed to confirm these effects. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated probiotics, but does not set numeric acceptable daily intakes for them. Evidence on the specific health benefits of Bacillus coagulans is still developing.

Allergen info

Bacillus coagulans is not a major allergen. It does not contain gluten.
