It is necessary for the pH value to stay in the correct range in order for other health supporting bacteria to exist. It is also important to keep levels of antagonistic microorganisms under control.

Lactobacillus sporogenes is a probiotic strain uniquely preencapsulated in spores that resist the action of antibiotics, gastric acid, bile, chemicals and heat. Lactobacillus sporogenes thus can survive passage into the small intestine, where the spores germinate after 30 minutes to reproduce.Unlike other strains of lactobacillus, Lactobacillus sporogenes does not require refrigeration to maintain its peak potency, which gives it a distinct advantage over other probiotic organisms. Even when stored at a high temperature of 40°C and 80% relative humidity, in viable cell counts decreased are negligible. These conditions represent it is stable wh- en stored at room temperature for two years.

Subsequent to oral administration, L. sporogenes p- asses through the stomach in its spore form and upon arrival in the duodenum, germinates and multiplies rapidly.

After germination, L. sporogenes is metabolically active in the intestines, producing lactic acid.L sporogenes is considered a semi-resident, indicating it takes up only a temporary residence in the human intestines. Spores of L. sporogenes are excreted slowly via the feces for approximately seven days after discontinuation of administration.
