Many consumers prefer dietary supplements in "candy-like" formats, like gummies. That opens new opportunities for you to expand your portfolio, too.
Spore bacteria have evolved to survive even hostile environments. They easily survive the journey through the acid and bile in the stomach to arrive in the intestine where they can thrive. But that’s not unique. All our probiotics are documented to survive the journey to the gut.
What is unique about spores is that they can survive almost any production process you throw at them. Pasteurization of beverages? Boiling syrup for gummies? Not a problem. They “sleep” right through it, and have an impressive shelf life, too.
Their natural survival mechanism helps you offer differentiated products.
As long as these bacteria have a favorable environment and plenty to eat, they remain in their normal state, which is called a vegetative cell.
But when they find themselves in an environment where they can’t survive, whether that be no food or extreme temperature or pH, these vegetative cells react to survive.
The bacterium makes a copy of its DNA and packages it in a robust capsule, called an endospore. This process is called sporulation.
The mother cell breaks apart and releases a matured endospore. It can stay dormant for decades even in unfavorable environmental conditions.
But when it finds itself in a favorable environment again, the spore germinates and becomes a single vegetative cell, ready to take its place in the microbial community.
These probiotic spores have been clinically shown to support gut health. Let’s talk about how you can best incorporate spores into your next new product.
