•Unistraw’s probiotic straw delivers GanedenBC30 when liquid passes through the straw. This application opens up the market to shelf stable beverages and climates that are environmentally inhospitable to traditional, refrigerated strains.

GanedenBC30 is unique when compared to traditional probiotic strains.  It is a spore-forming probiotic bacterium, meaning that inside the bacterial cell is a hardened structure, or spore, which is analogous to a seed.  This spore protects the cell’s genetic material from the heat and pressure of manufacturing processes, the challenges of shelf life and the acid and bile it is exposed to during digestive transit.  The viable spore is then able to germinate and produce new vegetative cells once it is safely inside the small intestine.  Other “traditional” probiotic organisms cannot form these protective spores, making them vulnerable to heat, pressure, shelf life variables and digestive extremes.  

According to MarketResearch.com, probiotic annual sales are predicted to reach $31.1 billion by 2015, indicating consistent growth as well as more opportunities for brands to incorporate GanedenBC30 into their products. As the probiotic trend explodes, Ganeden Biotech continues to discover new ways individuals can integrate probiotics into every day products to advance their overall wellbeing.
