Versatility

Unlike most other probiotic strains, BC30 is a spore-former, which makes it highly stable and allows it to remain viable through most manufacturing processes and the low pH of stomach acid. Additionally, BC30 has a shelf life of up to 3 years. This flexibility means BC30 can be added to most foods and beverages.
