How does Geneflora® differ from L. acidophilus?

Geneflora and the Geneflora family of products contain the beneficial bacteria Bacillus coagulans (Lactobacillus sporogenes), which is a spore-forming gram-positive rod. Unlike Lactobacillus acidophilus, these spore-forming, naturally microencapsulated bacteria need no special handling (such as refrigeration) and can survive manufacturing, shipping, and storage with no loss of viable organisms. Geneflora® can also easily survive stomach acid and reach the intestines where they can thrive and help correct intestinal imbalances. In contrast, L. acidophilus does not survive well in stomach acid and delivers fewer living organisms to the small intestine or loses most of its potency. In fact, according to Hughes and Hillier's 1990 study, Microbiological Characteristics of Lactobacillus Products, published in the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, of the 16 products they studied which claimed to contain L. acidophilus, only 4 actually contained any viable L. acidophilus, and 2 of these contained bacterial contaminants.

In addition, Geneflora® produces ONLY L(+) lactic acid, a beneficial by-product that is completely and efficiently metabolized to glycogen (so it can be easily assimilated by the body) as opposed to L. acidophilus, which produces a D(-) lactic acid and is metabolized slowly and in excess can cause metabolic acidosis which may be toxic to the brain.
