Lactospore contains 9 billion organisms per
gram of Lactobacillus sporogenes culture. Lactospore is 100% vegetarian and
contains no added excipients or fillers. Contains no diary, wheat, yeast,
corn, sugar, starch, soy or preservatives.
Preparations of L. sporogenes in
pharmaceutical dosage forms such as tablets, capsules, dried granules or
powder have the following characteristics:
- Contain a large number of viable
lactobacilli that retain viability during preparation in pharmaceutical
dosage forms and during storage before consumption. The spores are
thermostable as against viable L. acidophilus cells which may not
withstand lyophilization.
- Survive in gastric secretions and bile of
the upper digestive tract and reach the intestine safely.
- Settle in the digestive tract and produce
enough lactic acid and other antagonistic substances to inhibit the growth
of pathogenic bacteria.
- Being sporulated, they germinate under
favorable conditions and produce sufficient viable cells which proliferate
and perform vital healthful functions as described earlier. In addition,
L. sporogenes spores are semi-resident and are slowly excreted out of the
body (7 days after discontinuation of administration).
L. sporogenes is effective in the form of dietary supplements as well as
when added to food products. Natto is a traditional fermented product from
soya bean, consumed widely in Japan as a rich source of protein. Its flavor
is improved by the incorporation of lactic acid bacteria such as L.
sporogenes, L. acidophilus or Pediococcus acidilactiti to the starter
culture (Bacillus natto), to yield a product called yogurunatto having
superior flavor and storage characteristics as well as improved nutritional
and therapeutic properties. A nutritive medium (homogenized mushroom,
Lentinus edodus) is mixed with soya beans and fermented to yield this health
food product. The requirement of availability of a number of viable lactic
acid bacteria is fulfilled by using L. sporogenes.
