What is it about?

Probiotics, which are living microbes that have health benefits for the host are increasing being used by generally health people. Some strains of probiotics may be used to support gastrointestinal health and to boost the immune system. One such probiotic is called Heyndrickxia coagulans GBI-30,6086 (BC30). We tested this probiotic in adults who had mild intestinal complaints in a blinded randomized control clinical trial. More adults who were given the BC30 probiotic for 4 weeks reported improved intestinal function (less constipation, more stools/day, better fecal consistency) than adults randomized to a control group. The probiotic did not cause side effects.
