Bacillus Coagulans
A strong gut microbiome is foundational to everything—digestion, immunity, energy, and recovery—which is why Bacillus coagulans stands apart: its spore-based structure survives stomach acid to reach your intestines where it actively works, rather than diminishing before it can help. This strain supports the bacterial balance that keeps you performing at your best, day after day.
Thorne Bacillus Coagulans is a lactic acid-producing probiotic designed to survive stomach acid and activate where it matters most — the intestines. Unlike many standard Lactobacillus strains, this dormant-until-active formula supports a healthy intestinal environment as part of a consistent wellness routine.
The intestinal tract contains trillions of bacteria that, when a person is healthy, coexist with us in a beneficial, symbiotic relationship. The beneficial bacteria help digest food, produce vitamins, regulate the metabolism, and facilitate a normal immune response.* Probiotic bacteria promote a healthy intestinal environment by producing lactic acid and by secreting fatty acids that are helpful to the growth of other beneficial microorganisms.* Bacillus coagulans (also known as Lactobacillus sporogenes) is a lactic acid-producing bacteria that is unique in probiotic supplementation.* While this beneficial bacteria is dormant in the bottle, it reverts to a growing bacteria in the intestines.* As a result, it resists being killed by stomach acid; in contrast, many Lactobacillus probiotics lose much of their potency before use and do not survive their transit through the stomach.*Suggested Use:
Take 1 capsule two to three times daily or as recommended by your health-care practitioner.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Thorne Bacillus Coagulans different from other probiotics?
Bacillus Coagulans is dormant in the capsule and reverts to an active, growing bacteria once it reaches the intestines. This allows it to resist stomach acid, whereas many Lactobacillus-based probiotics can lose potency before reaching the gut.
Is Thorne Bacillus Coagulans the same as Lactobacillus sporogenes?
Yes — Bacillus coagulans is also known as Lactobacillus sporogenes. It is a lactic acid-producing strain recognized for its unique stability and survivability compared to many other probiotic bacteria.
Who should consult a healthcare practitioner before taking this probiotic?
Anyone who is pregnant or has a known hypersensitivity to any ingredient in the formula should consult a qualified healthcare practitioner before use.
