The probiotic introduction brought today may not be so well-known, called Bacillus coagulans. Although the name is relatively unpopular, its benefits are also significant, and its effect is different from that of ordinary probiotics, because it is also good for arthritis and muscle recovery. Sounds amazing right? So today, let's uncover the mystery of this probiotic together.

Bacillus coagulans is a promising probiotic that can lower insulin levels and improve cholesterol, IBS and arthritis. This bacterium was recently found to stimulate muscle recovery in athletes.

Bacillus coagulans is a Gram-positive, spore-forming bacterium that is considered safe and a beneficial food additive. It can also produce lactic acid, so it is sometimes misclassified as Lactobacillus sporogenes

Bacillus coagulans, a probiotic bacterium, is not FDA-approved for medical use and generally lacks solid clinical studies. Regulations set manufacturing standards for them, but do not guarantee that they are safe or effective. Talk to your doctor before supplementing.

In multiple clinical trials, it has been shown that Bacillus coagulans can reduce abdominal distension, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain and stool frequency, and improve the quality of life of patients with diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)

The combination of simethicone and Bacillus coagulans reduces bloating and discomfort in IBS patients

Bacillus coagulans, which increased levels of beneficial bacteria (Floscus prausniform, Clostridium, Bacillus and Eubacterium rectale) in volunteers. In turn, this leads to elevated concentrations of butyrate, acetate and propionate .

Daily intake of Bacillus coagulans in older adults increases the number of beneficial bacteria and anti-inflammatory cytokines .

In rats, spores of Bacillus coagulans beneficially modulate the gastrointestinal flora by increasing lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and decreasing Enterobacteriaceae .

Bacillus coagulans decreased the number of Escherichia coli and increased the number of spores of Lactobacillus and Bacillus .

Lectin + fructo-oligosaccharide (FOS) reduces the duration and frequency of abdominal pain in children with gastrointestinal diseases .

Bacillus coagulans, a synbiotic, appears to be effective in the treatment of functional abdominal pain in children .

Bacillus coagulans significantly improves quality of life in adults with postprandial flatulence-related symptoms and no diagnosed gastrointestinal problems .

Bacillus coagulans symbiosis, effectively improved bowel motility and fecal properties in functional constipation patients .

Bacillus coagulans, added to mineral oil, can improve symptoms in children with constipation without specific side effects.

Bacillus coagulans improved viability and modestly improved colonic pathology (crypt damage, edema, leukocyte influx) in C. difficile-induced colitis mice .

Bacillus coagulans contains a synbiotic that reduces blood insulin levels; HOMA-IR and HOMA-B in pregnant women.

In type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients, the intake of bread containing Bacillus coagulans synbiotics lowered insulin levels, improved blood lipids and increased good cholesterol (HDL-C) levels.

Likewise, consumption of bread with a Bacillus coagulans synbiotic improved NO and MDA levels in T2D patients.

Synbiotics containing Bacillus coagulans improved insulin, hs-CRP, uric acid and total plasma GSH levels in diabetic patients.

Co-administration of Bacillus coagulans, inulin, and β-carotene reduced insulin, HOMA-IR, HOMA-B, triglycerides, VLDL-cholesterol levels, and total HDL-cholesterol ratio. This therapy also elevates plasma levels of nitric oxide (NO) and glutathione (GSH) .

Synbiotics containing Bacillus coagulans decreased TAG and VLDL and increased GSH levels in 52 pregnant women .

In a small clinical study of 17 patients, Bacillus coagulans was able to lower blood total and LDL cholesterol and slightly increase HDL cholesterol .
