A new study from Viva 5 Corporation has demonstrated its Bacillus coagulans probiotic gummies have 18 months of shelf stability. Viva 5 developed a proprietary manufacturing process, which allows for the addition of the probiotic into the gummy matrix, rather than as a component of the sugar coating. This, the company said, allows for high recovery after manufacturing and robust stability over an extended period of 18 months.
Testing further indicated probiotic stability over a 24-month period, making Viva 5 Corporation the only known manufacturer worldwide to offer an active probiotic gummy with such a shelf life. This highly stable probiotic can tolerate higher temperatures during manufacturing than traditional lactic acid bacteria, thereby conferring superior shelf-life stability in gummies and other finished products containing this strain.
B. coagulans strain has been shown to support a healthy immune system as well as maintain healthy digestion. Due to its superior stability and durability, as well as demonstrated clinical efficacy, this strain lends itself to a wide variety of formulation opportunities. Viva 5 Corp also offers this probiotic strain in a softgel delivery form, as well as soft chews and panned chews.
In addition to probiotic gummies, Viva 5 has recently added Immunobiotic Gummies to its portfolio after partnering with Mitsubishi International Food Ingredients, a specialty ingredients company, to develop and help commercialize the proprietary ImmunoLP- 20 ingredient in gummy delivery forms.
Originally isolated from a fermented traditional Asian food, ImmunoLP-20 is a specially derived Lactobacillus plantarum L-137 strain, super potentiated for its balanced immune benefits with a five-year shelf life. It’s also referred to as an Immunobiotic for its clinically studied benefit to positively influence balanced immune function and improve quality of life.
