The gut microbiota
The gut microbiota is the population of
trillions of bacteria and microorganisms
in your intestines that are key to your
health and wellbeing.

Probiotics defined
“Live microorganisms which when
administered in adequate amounts
confer a health benefit on the host.”
Live microbes in the diet
Must provide a health benefit to the consumer
Must be delivered to the digestive tract in efficacious quantities

Forms of bacterial probiotics
While common vegetative probiotics strains are fragile, spore-forming strains like Bacillus coagulans can
survive most manufacturing processes, allowing for innovation beyond the dairy case.
Vegetative Cell Spore-Forming Cell
• Vegetative cells are very fragile and vulnerable BC30 germinates with the right:
to the low gastric pH and bile salts. • Temperature (30°C)
• Susceptible to the rigors of most manufacturing • Water Activity (greater than 0.7)
processes and shelf life of most food products. • Substrate (food source)
• Generally, need to be refrigerated to survive
shelf life of finished product.

FACT 1
Health benefits are
strain-specific

Just as CFU counts are strain published studies are
specific, so are probiotic benefits.

Understanding strain specificity
Japanese car » Bacterial group » Lactic acid bacteria
Honda » Bacterial genus » Bacillus
Accord » Bacterial species » Bacillus coagulans
EX-L V-6 Sedan » Bacterial strain » Bacillus coagulans GBI-30, 6086
Every bacteria strain has its own strain-specific genomic and phenotypic
characteristics.
• NO TWO strains of bacteria are identical.
• Safety and clinical data from one strain cannot be used to support the
safety and efficacy of another strain.

Kerry Group Confidential © 2022
FACT 2
More CFUs aren‘t
always better
There is no “ideal” number of CFUs.
• Probiotics are measured in CFUs
(Colony Forming Units)
• Probiotic organisms must be alive to
be grown and counted.
• Probiotic organisms are unique – as
are the levels needed for benefit
efficacy and safety.
• Peer reviewed, published studies on
the specific strain are required to
support inclusion levels – 100 Billion
CFU is not necessarily better or more
efficacious than 1 Billion CFU.
