Spore-forming probiotics are beneficial bacteria that remain in a dormant but highly resistant “spore” form. This allows them to survive heat, cold, acidity, and food manufacturing processes. Once they reach the intestine, these spores “wake up” (germinate) and begin to act, delivering health benefits.
Kyojin is the first spore-forming probiotic approved for human consumption across Latin America. It contains Bacillus subtilis DG101, a spore-forming bacterium that activates in the gut. Best of all, Kyojin’s probiotic spores do not require refrigeration—they can be frozen, heated, or even baked without losing their properties, making them easy to incorporate into a wide range of foods beyond traditional probiotic yogurts.
