LACRIS™ is clinically proven to support a healthy intestinal environment and improve bowel movement regularity. It is effective and versatile at low dosages and robust against acid, heat, and pressure.

Benefits: General lactic acid bacteria have a low tolerance to heat and acid, and as such are suitable only for a limited range of processed foods. Spore forming lactic acid bacteria can generate spores and are much more stable, and also more efficient at producing lactic acid. Lactic acid bacteria are thus more suitable for use in a wide range of processed foods and dietary supplements.

LACRIS™ is in supplements, beverages, foods, bakery, and confectionery.

LACRIS™ is FDA Notified GRAS substance (GRN No. 691), registered in 2017.
