One of the primary products of Unique Biotech is Bacillus coagulans (Lactobacillus sporogenes) – a revolutionary new friendly bacteria naturally occurring in the intestine. It is a spore-forming bacterium that makes it the choicest probiotic with enormous clinical applications. It plays a predominant role in intestinal digestion by synthesizing Vitamin B3, B5, B6, B12, folic acid, biotin, Vitamin K, bacteriocins and digestive enzymes such as amylase, protease and lipase. It helps in assimilation of proteins and in the digestion of lactose containing dairy products.
Bacillus coagulans begin to proliferate in the small intestine, multiplying rapidly. These cells in the intestinal tract produce L(+) Lactic acid and bacteriocins depriving the growth of pathogenic bacteria. In addition, these spores being semi-resident are slowly excreted out of the body (10-12 days) after discontinuation of administration and thus possess the ideal characteristics of a drug without causing side effects.
Lactobacillus Sporogenes plays an important role in the cholesterol metabolism of their host. Intestinal Bacteria have been shown to convert cholesterol into a less absorbable form (coprostanol), thus hampering its absorption from the intestinal tract.
