Doctor's Best Digestive Health Probiotic 2 Billion with LactoSpore® - 60 Veggie Caps

Doctor's Best LactoSpore – Bacillus coagulans MTCC 5856 in vegetarian capsules

This Doctor's Best food supplement contains the bacterial culture LactoSpore, i.e. the Bacillus coagulans strain MTCC 5856. One vegetarian capsule contains 133 mg of the bacterial culture, which according to the label corresponds to 2 billion CFU. The recommended daily dose is one capsule, so the container of 60 capsules lasts for 60 days. Apart from the bacterial culture, the only ingredients are maltodextrin and the capsule shell, which is made of plant-based hydroxypropyl methylcellulose – this is why the capsules are labelled as vegetarian. The product comes from the US brand Doctor's Best and the country of origin is the United States of America.

Bacillus coagulans and LactoSpore

Bacillus coagulans is a bacterial species capable of forming spores – resting forms of the bacterium. LactoSpore is a trademark that designates a specific strain of this species, MTCC 5856. The strain designation refers to the microbial culture collection in which the strain has been deposited and makes it possible to identify the strain unambiguously. CFU stands for colony forming units – the usual way in microbiology of expressing how many bacterial cells or spores in a product are able to grow into a colony. The label states 2 billion CFU per capsule.

How to use?

Take one capsule a day with food and drink some water with it. The recommended daily dose is one capsule and it should not be exceeded. It is convenient to take the capsule, for example, with breakfast or lunch so that taking the product becomes a daily habit. As the container holds 60 capsules, one container lasts for two months. Keep the container in a cool, dry place and close it carefully after use. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
