About 70 percent of the body’s immune cells are located in the intestine. In addition, trillions of microorganisms live there – our intestinal flora. The interaction of the various bacteria is very important for intestinal function.
However, influencing the bacterial flora is not so easy. Most microorganisms ingested with food, such as lactobacilli or bifidobacteria, do not survive the acidic environment of the stomach. To make them more resistant, they are often chemically coated. Nevertheless, these bacterial cultures are often sensitive to stomach acid. Moisture and heat also affect them, which is why their shelf life is limited. When ingested, therefore, only a small portion reaches the intestine alive.
Sporebiotics, on the other hand, contain viable Bacillus microorganisms in the form of spores. This type of encapsulation is used by some strains of bacteria in nature to survive under adverse environmental conditions – for example, under high temperatures, in the absence of water, or even in strong acids. In Sporebiotics, this natural protective shell ensures high stability against gastric acid and a long shelf life.
