Probiotics

GanedenBC³⁰ is an amazing probiotic ingredient that is used in foods and drinks.

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines probiotics as “live microorganisms, which, when taken in adequate amounts, offer a
health benefit.”

How do I choose a probiotic?
Not all probiotics strains are the same. Different strains offer different benefits and some probiotic strains survive manufacturing processes, shelf life and digestive transit better than others. When choosing a probiotic consider the following:

• Is it safe and has the FDA reviewed the safety data?
• Does it survive the extremes of manufacturing?
• Does it survive the shelf life of the product?
• Will it survive digestive transit?
• Is there published research to support it?

GanedenBC³⁰ is a natural probiotic (“beneficial bacteria”) ingredient added to many foods, beverages and supplements to help support digestive and immune health*

GanedenBC³⁰ is…

• The trademarked name for the patented strain of probiotic bacteria, Bacillus coagulansGBI-30, 6086.
• An ingredient in foods, beverages and supplements.
• Safe – It’s NOT a drug – as per our FDA GRAS affirmation.
• Clinically studied and supported by over 20 peer reviewed, published papers.
• Calorie and gluten-free.
• Organic Compliant.
• Kosher and halal.
• A sustainable, naturally occurring, non-GMO ingredient – no “engineering” here.
• Used as an ingredient, ONLY to provide added health benefits to consumers. GanedenBC³⁰will not change the composition or taste of any product.

SAFETY

Ganeden has conducted extensive safety studies on GanedenBC³⁰, which have been published (Endres 2009, Endres2011) and culminated with Ganeden receiving FDA GRAS. These tests prove that even when GanedenBC³⁰ is consumed at much higher levels than what is found in food and beverage products, that there are no safety concerns. FDA GRAS is strain specific, and GanedenBC³⁰ is the only Bacillus that has been granted FDA GRAS status.

IMMUNE HEALTH

A large majority of the body’s immune system is located within the intestines. When GanedenBC³⁰ is consumed daily, it creates a healthier intestinal environment, supporting immune function.
