Abstract

Bacillus coagulans has an advantage over most other bacteria used as probiotics. It occupies an intermediate position between the genera Bacillusand Lactobacillus, is a spore-forming bacteria that produce lactic acid.This bacteria in the spores form can tolerate well technology processes, resistant to antibiotics and antiseptics, does not collapse under the influence of gastric juice and bile. Getting into the duodenum, the spores germinate into vegetative forms and begin vegetation and growth, providing probiotic effects. Bacillus coagulansrefers to semi-residental bacteria - performing in the human probiotic function, it passes the sporulation phase and slowly leaves the body, standing out in the faeces in the spores form. Thus, it does not violate the personal composition of intestinal microflora.Probiotic Bacillus coagulans enhances the microbiological composition of the intestine, increasing the number of obligate microorganisms and displacing pathogenic flora. Mechanisms of this action based on the lactic acid production and some bacteriocins synthesis, also on the immunomodulatory effect - stimulation of cellular and humoral immunity. The bacterial cell wall and spores are the main immunomodulatory compounds of the Bacillus coagulans.Apparently, namely Bacillus coagulans immunomodulatory properties play a crucial role in the pharmacological effects. It is now well known about the important role of immune system in the pathogenesis of many diseases; it has the clinical effect without the need for intensive growth of bacteria and intestinal colonization; even small amounts of spores are sufficient for pharmacological effect; many experimental evidences of the spore penetration into the lymphatic system and interaction with immunocompetent cells, as well as local and systemic immune effects of probiotic.In addition to this main action, Bacillus coagulans helps to digest lactose, possesses anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity, as well as the cholesterol-lowering effect.The effectiveness of probiotics, containing spores of Bacillus coagulans, was confirmed by evidence-based medicine. Probiotic effect in the treatment of various diarrheas, including those related to antibiotic treatment, enterocolitis and irritable bowel syndrome. Bacillus coagulans application reduces the duration of diarrhea, reduces the severity of abdominal pain, and normalizes the composition of intestinal microflora.Bacillus coagulans efficiency is identified also as hypocholesterolemic agents, as a means of anti-inflammatory effect in the combination therapy of arthritis, in combination with soya extracts for reducing menopause symptoms; by topical application it was effective in vaginitis, stomatitis and dental caries. In clinical studies proved the high safety of probiotics. Except spores Bacillus coagulans, as part of the “Laktovit Forte” there are also present B9 and B12 vitamins in high doses, which are an essential component for the early spore’s vegetation in the large intestine. These vitamins stimulation phenomenon vegetation dispute has been confirmed experimentally, as shown in the clinic acceleration by 1-2 days of initial clinical manifestations of the effects of Bacillus coagulans, which is quite critical in acute diarrhea microbial origin, abdominal pain and cramps.
