LactoSpore®

  • A versatile probiotic
  • Lactic Acid Bacillus
    • Originally known in literature as Lactobacillus sporogenes
    • also known as Bacillus coagulans
    • L. sporogenes was first isolated and described in 1933 by L.M. Horowitz Wlassowa & N.W. Nowotelnow
  • Documented clinical effectiveness

Characteristic Features

  • Gram positive, Indole negative, rod shaped bacteria with terminal spores
  • Produces L(+) Lactic Acid only
  • Naturally microencapsulated for stability
  • Proliferates within the GI tract
  • Extremely fastidious organisms
  • Grow optimally at 30°C to 37°C & optimum pH in the range 5.5 to 6.2
  • Microaerophilic
  • The acidic environment created by production of L(+) Lactic Acid & other antimicrobial compounds prevents the growth of disease causing microbes like Clostridia, which are responsible for production of undesirable gases
  • Long & slender cells (0.3 to 0.8 microns)
  • Colonies are usually 2.5 mm in diameter, convex, smooth, glistening and do not produce any pigment

Lactobacillus sporogenes

Lactobacillus sporogenes

Temperature Stability

  • Due to spore forming nature, LactoSpore® survives manufacturing, shipping and storage with no loss of viable count
  • Does not require refrigeration conditions
  • Cardiovascular support
  • Room temperature stable

Lactic Acid Production

  • LactoSpore® produces only L (+) Lactic acid, which is completely and efficiently metabolized to glycogen
  • Whereas other probiotics may produce D (-) Lactic acid, which is metabolized slowly and in excess, can cause metabolic acidosis and may even be toxic to the brain

Gastrointestinal Health

Gastrointestinal Health: Studies in India

Study 1: Cases of neonatal diarrhea responded well to L. sporogenes (SPORLAC) therapy. 60 diarrheal cases of which three also suffered from constipation and three from jaundice were studied.

Dose administered: 15 million spores per day

Recovery period: 15 million spores per day

Recovery period: 1.8 days

Results summary for diarrheal symptoms:

Condition Cases Treated Cases Cured Success Rate
Diarrhea 60 49 81.7%
Constipation 3 3 100%
Jaundice 3 3 100%

Study 2: 112 newborn infants in rural India were randomized to receive a daily oral dose of 100 million L. sporogenes or a placebo for one year.

Morbidity was monitored each week for 12 months.

Other Clinical Studies: Healthy Serum Lipid Profiles

Short term hypolipidemic effects of oral L. sporogenes therapy

Dose: 360 million spores per day in tablet form

Subjects: 7 patients (15 men and 2 women in the 32-61 year age group) with type II hyperlipidemia in an open label fixed dose trial.

Duration: 12 weeks

Atherogenic Lipid Ratios were improved:

Total/HDL cholesterol ratio: Decreased by 27%

LDL/HDL ratio: Decreased by 33.4%

Results of the Study


lactospore results

Clinical Study: Non-Specific Vaginitis

Study 2:44 patients with non-specific vaginitis [12 with leucorrhea after cervical surgery; 32 (26 of reproductive age and 6 postmenopausal, without previous therapy)]

Dose:2 vaginal tablets/day (150 million spores/tab.)

7-14 days


Results:


Complete relief: 91% cases

Partial relief: 9% cases

In a similar clinical trial using M.T.P. vaginal peccaries containing broxyquinoline and brobenzoxeldine where only 26.67% of cases studied were cured.

Conclusion:Lactobacillus sporogenes is effective in non-specific vaginitis by raising the vaginal acidity, and thereby checking the growth of pathogenic organisms.

Aphthous stomatitis and glossitis

  • Recurrent oral lesions respond well to Lactobacillus sporogenes therapy

120 million spores supplied in three divided doses (in the form of SPORLAC, a tabletted preparation) for three days was found to be effective in human volunteers.

Condition: Allergic Skin Diseases

  • No. of subjects: 5
  • Treatment: 200-450 million spores / day in divided doses for 4-12 days
  • Effectiveness rate: 80.0%
