GanedenBC30 (Bacillus coagulans GBI-30, 6086) is a patented probiotic ingredient that can be found in more than 100 leading food, beverage and companion animal products throughout the world. Unlike most other probiotic strains, GanedenBC30 is a spore-former which makes it highly stable and allows it remain viable through most manufacturing processes, three years of shelf life and the low pH of stomach acid. The efficacy of GanedenBC30 is backed by 19 published studies showing digestive and immune support and GanedenBC30 has an exceptional safety record with FDA GRAS status from the United States FDA. It can be formulated into virtually any product that is baked, boiled, frozen or squeezed, and will not change the taste or texture profile of a product.

“Japan, Taiwan, Philippines and India are significant markets within Asia, where the consumers are already familiar with the benefits of probiotics”, says Stephen Quinn, International Business Development and Regulatory Manager of Ganeden Biotech. “The regulatory approvals provide a great deal of opportunity for probiotic innovation within these thriving functional food and beverage markets; and we are thrilled to be able to introduce the unique formulating capabilities of GanedenBC30.”
