Our supplement contains a synergistic blend of friendly spore forming bacteria and the digestive nutrients Curcuminoids and Ginger.
“After just a week of taking these, while eating exactly the same foods and a very normal, unrestrictive healthy diet, my tummy troubles were significantly improved, and thankfully I really felt my best too!” – Doctor Michelle Braude @thefoodeffectdr, author of The Food Effect Diet
Advantages of Spore Forming Bacteria
Our supplement contains an impressive 2 Billion Colony Forming units (CFU) of the spore forming bacteria or sporebiotic, Bacillus coagulans MTCC 5856 (LactoSpore®). Spore forming bacteria offer a number of advantages over non spore forming bacteria such as Lactobacillus in your gut:
THEY SURVIVE THE STOMACH’S ACIDIC ENVIRONMENT & RESIST BREAKDOWN FROM DIGESTIVE ENZYMES
Bacillus spores are naturally designed to survive digestion. The reason for their inherent survivability comes from their bi-phasic life cycle. This means that the Bacillus spores can transition interchangeably from their dormant form to their active form, depending on the environment. In its dormant spore form, Bacillus will surround itself with an endospore, which is a tough, natural outer shell that protects it from light, heat, pressure, acid, lack of oxygen, and other environmental factors. This key feature is what allows the strain to survive easily through digestion without the need for enteric-coated capsules or refrigeration. Other non spore forming bacteria such as Lactobacillus cannot survive the acidic conditions of the gut and are therefore virtually ineffective.
THEY ARE HEAT STABLE
The spores are heat-stable, so can be stored at room temperature without losing any effectiveness or potency.
THEY ARE ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANT
They can be taken while using antibiotics to help support your healthy microbiome. Furthermore, our supplement is also able to resist antibiotics found in foods, such as meats and dairy, which has affected the gut microbiome of the typical Westerner.
Once settled in the intestines, Bacillus coagulans is able to survive and flourish through the mechanism of competitive exclusion. There is first a competition for limited nutrients by all bacteria, the acidic environment created by the production of lactic acid by Bacillus coagulans prevents the growth of pathogenic microbes and allows growth of Bacillus coagulans which ultimately dominate the microbiota. In addition, Bacillus coagulans also produces Bacteriocins (antimicrobial proteinaceous compounds) that are inhibitory towards both Gram (+) and Gram (-) bacteria.
The beneficial activities of LactoSpore® in various conditions like gastro-intestinal disorders and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) may be attributed to
- Stimulating the growth of other beneficial bacteria like Faecalibacterium prausnitzii in the gut. Establishing a healthy microbiota eventually helps in reducing toxins as well as the growth of other bacteria / viral pathogens.
- Eliminating acids, antibiotics and other substances that might compete for colonisation sites and nutrients.
- Production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs).
Combining The Power of Live Cultures with Digestive Nutrients
We have combined the power of LactoSpore® with Curcumin and Ginger to further complement the effectiveness of our supplement.
Our supplement contains the the Number 1 Curcumin brand evaluated clinically across the globe, Curcumin C3 Complex®. Curcumin C3 Complex® enjoys the special status of being the “Most Extensively Studied and Clinically Documented” with more than 80 research papers including 45+ clinical studies that have been published in peer-reviewed journals and counting.
The name Curcumin C3 Complex® has reference to its three main chemical compounds – Curcumin, Demethoxycurcumin (DMC) and Bisdemethoxycurcumin (BDMC) – collectively known as “Curcuminoids”. Demethoxycurcumin (DMC) and Bisdemethoxycurcumin (BDMC) stabilise Curcumin, and studies of turmeric derivatives noted that these two compounds are more efficient to protect from oxidative stress than Curcumin alone.
Furthermore, Curcumin C3 Complex® is more soluble because of Bisdemethoxycurcumin, therefore, Curcumin C3 Complex® is more absorbable in the gastrointestinal tract and is able to provide more benefits than Curcumin alone.
The active ingredients and essential oils within Ginger are called Gingerols and Shogaols. It is these active constituents in Ginger that help support digestive health.

LactoSpore®
LactoSpore® is a preparation containing the lactic acid forming microorganism (often called a “probiotic”) Bacillus coagulans MTCC 5856 or B. coagulans for short. Bacillus coagulans was originally known in literature as Lactobacillus sporogenes and both of these terms are still used in literature interchangeably.
Our LactoSpore® strain has been extensively researched, in global leading laboratories, for safety and survival. We promise that what you see is what you get—from strain to CFUs. Several scientific studies have been carried out on Bacillus coagulans MTCC 5856 (LactoSpore®) and studies published so far have looked at:
- The safety and efficacy of LactoSpore®
- The survival of LactoSpore® through the Gastrointestinal tract
- The impact of LactoSpore® on gut function and other components of the microbiota and implications for the maintenance of human health
HEALTH CANADA APPROVAL & IBS CLAIM
In 2016, Health Canada, the federal department which regulates products that help people of Canada maintain and improve their health, issued the following approved health claim for LactoSpore®
“Helps relieve abdominal pain associated with IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)”.
ACCEPTED FOR DEPOSIT IN THE MICROBIAL TYPE CULTURE COLLECTION AND GENE BANK
LactoSpore® has also been accepted for deposit in the Microbial Type Culture Collection (MTCC) and Gene Bank. The microbial culture was accepted for deposit in MTCC-IDA, was assigned MTCC number 5856 and preserved in the patent collection of MTCC on 19th Sept, 2013.
Curcumin C3 Complex®
Curcumin C3 Complex® is the Number 1 Curcumin brand evaluated clinically across the globe. Curcumin C3 Complex® enjoys the special status of being the “Most Extensively Studied and Clinically Documented” with more than 80 research papers including 45+ clinical studies that have been published in peer-reviewed journals and counting.
Curcumin C3 Complex® is obtained from the dried rhizomes of Curcuma longa (Turmeric) and standardised for minimum 95% Curcuminoids.
Turmeric, derives its name from the Latin term terra merita, meaning ‘meritorious earth’, referring to the colour of ground turmeric, which resembles a mineral pigment. In many languages, turmeric is named simply as ‘yellow root’.
Much of the credit for the popularity of turmeric goes to the ancient texts of Ayurveda written almost 2500 years ago, describing the benefits of turmeric.
However, it is modern science which has made it possible for millions to get the health benefits from turmeric’s unique compounds.
The name Curcumin C3 Complex® has reference to its three main chemical compounds – Curcumin, Demethoxycurcumin (DMC) and Bisdemethoxycurcumin (BDMC) – collectively known as “Curcuminoids”.
Demethoxycurcumin (DMC) and Bisdemethoxycurcumin (BDMC) stabilize Curcumin, and studies of turmeric derivatives noted that these two compounds are more efficient to protect from oxidative stress than curcumin alone.
Curcumin C3 Complex® is more soluble because of Bisdemethoxycurcumin, therefore, Curcumin C3 Complex® is more absorbable in the gastrointestinal tract and is able to provide more benefits than Curcumin alone.
- Curcumin C3 Complex® was awarded a “Scientific Achievement Award” from Nutrition Business Journal. The NBJ Business Achievement Awards recognise companies for their distinguished achievements in various business categories within the natural products industry.
- Curcumin C3 Complex® was awarded with Functional Ingredients Editor’s Choice Award, in the Marketing Category.
Ginger
The Zingiber officinale is the Latin name for the common Ginger Plant. The word “Zingiber” comes from the Sanskrit language, “Zing” meaning horn and “bera’ meaning body, used to describe the structure and flavour of the Ginger root.
Ginger is from the Zingiberaceae, or Ginger family, also in this group are Turmeric and Cardamom. Ginger is a herbaceous, slow growing plant native to India, South Asia.

Love love LOVE these! Didn’t expect these to start taking action so quickly, I normally bloat like a beast after a night out and now I wake up with a flat tummy and feel amazing. Also feel like these are also contributing to my acne clearing up. Please can you do a subscribe and save feature as I’ll definitely be using these on a daily basis.

I don’t usually write reviews but I guess I also don’t usually come across too many new companies with which I am as thoroughly impressed. When I first heard about this supplement it was through a Facebook advert and I was a little unsure about the product I contacted their customer service to learn more and honestly they were so prompt, kind and informative, they really went above and beyond to help me and it was like talking to a friend. The supplement arrived the next day after purchase and arrived so beautifully and the bottle itself is pretty enough to keep on my dressing table. I’ve never been a fan of the clinical white plastic bottles, I love that these come in an amber glass bottle and silver lid and that its all recyclable! I’ve only just started taking their daily digestive support supplement and will give a fuller review with regards to how I feel in a few weeks. I don’t know where Biomed has been all this time but I’m glad it’s here, hope to see some great things from this company!
