Probiotic Cheat Sheet

You should know what a pre-biotic is.

(The plant fibres that feed your gut bacteria.)

And you should know what a pro-biotic is.

(The bacteria that is IN your gut.)

And you should know that each strain of probiotic has different effects on your body.

Today, let’s look at a few of the benefits of Bacillus Coagulans.

(That first “c” is pronounced as an “s”.)

Bacillus Coagulans and Weight Loss

This study found that, those in the Bacillus coagulans group (compared to the placebo group):

✅ Lost more weight (especially those moderately overweight)

✅ Showed significant changes in gut microbiome diversity

✅ Increased levels of Parabacteroides — a bacteria linked to healthy weight

✅ Reported no side effects

Bacillus Coagulans and Protein Absorption

In this review, these authors concluded that Bacillus coagulans was

“…shown to increase protein absorption and to maximise the health benefits associated with protein supplementation.”

and that

“…could be used to improve muscle health in various populations and reduce quality differences of protein sources naturally lower in leucine, such as plant proteins.

Bacillus Coagulans and Bone Health

New research has identified Bacillus coagulans as a powerful tool for improving bone health in post-menopausal women.

This probiotic:

✅ Improved gut integrity,

✅ Increased production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) like butyrate

✅ Activated key immune cells that reduce bone breakdown and inflammation.

Happy to chat further.

PS Our Gut Health Plus (very popular) is often recommended because of its Bacillus Coagulans content.
