In short
Bacillus coagulans is a friendly bacterium that makes lactic acid. It is the first name on the DermaPure label, and each gummy carries 500 million CFU of it.
A little background
This species belongs to a family that wraps itself in a hard spore coat when conditions get tough. Food makers like it for that reason, because the coat helps the cells stay alive during baking, mixing and storage.
Its job in the gummy
DermaPure is built on one simple thought: a settled gut and good-looking skin tend to go together.* The probiotic is the live part of that plan, there to help keep your gut community in balance.*
About the number
CFU means colony-forming units, which is a count of living cells. If the figure still feels abstract, read how to read a CFU number on a label.
Works with
Right beside it on the label sits chicory inulin, a fiber that good bacteria enjoy as food, so the two are meant to be a team.
