A type of friendly bacteria with its own built-in armour.

What are spore probiotics?

Some bacteria can form spores – a dormant state protected by a tough outer coat. Spore-forming probiotics are bacteria that do this naturally.

Why it matters

Stomach acid is harsh. Many standard probiotics need special capsules to survive it. Spore-forming bacteria have their own natural protection.

Other benefits

  • Often more stable at room temperature
  • Many don’t need refrigerating
