Adult Prebiotic & Probiotic Immunity Formula by SmartyPants Vitamins combines Baker's Yeast Beta Glucan with two clinically studied spore-forming probiotic strains to support immune function, gut microbiome health, and digestive wellness in two convenient daily gummies.
Key Benefits of Baker's Yeast Beta Glucan, Bacillus Subtilis DE111 & Bacillus Coagulans LactoSpore MTCC
-
Baker's Yeast Beta Glucan
- A well-researched prebiotic fiber derived from the cell walls of Saccharomyces cerevisiae that supports innate immune function by activating immune receptors on macrophages and natural killer cells, promoting a healthy and responsive immune system.
-
Bacillus Subtilis DE111
- A clinically studied, spore-forming probiotic strain that supports gut microbiome balance, promotes healthy digestive function, and maintains immune system readiness through its activity in the gastrointestinal tract. As a spore-former, DE111 is highly stable and survives the digestive process to reach the intestine intact.
-
Bacillus Coagulans LactoSpore MTCC
- A patented, spore-forming probiotic strain with a strong clinical research profile for supporting digestive comfort, promoting healthy bowel regularity, and maintaining a balanced gut microbiome. LactoSpore is shelf-stable and heat-resistant, ensuring probiotic viability through the gummy manufacturing process and storage.
-
Immune System Support
- Beta Glucan supports the innate immune system's first-line defense mechanisms, while the two probiotic strains support the gut-associated immune tissue (GALT) that accounts for a significant portion of the body's overall immune activity.
-
Gut Microbiome Balance
- The combination of a prebiotic fiber (Beta Glucan) and two probiotic strains provides both the substrate and the organisms needed to support a healthy and diverse gut microbiome simultaneously.
-
Spore-Forming Probiotic Stability
- Both Bacillus strains form protective spores that allow them to survive the acidic environment of the stomach and the heat of gummy manufacturing, ensuring that viable probiotic organisms reach the intestine where they are needed.
-
Convenient Gummy Delivery
- A two-gummy daily format supports consistent adherence to a prebiotic and probiotic immune support routine without the need for capsules or refrigeration.
Most probiotic supplements use Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium strains that, while clinically relevant, are sensitive to heat, moisture, and stomach acid, which can significantly reduce their viability by the time they reach the intestine. SmartyPants' Adult Prebiotic & Probiotic Immunity Formula uses Bacillus subtilis DE111 and Bacillus coagulans LactoSpore, two spore-forming strains that are inherently stable under the conditions of gummy manufacturing and gastrointestinal transit, ensuring that the probiotic organisms in each serving are viable and active when they reach the gut. The addition of Baker's Yeast Beta Glucan provides a prebiotic substrate that supports both the gut microbiome and the innate immune system through a mechanism distinct from fiber-based prebiotics, making this a meaningfully differentiated immune and gut support formula.

Frequently Asked Questions
This product is formulated for adults looking to support immune function, gut microbiome health, and digestive wellness through a daily prebiotic and probiotic gummy. It is particularly relevant for individuals seeking immune support, those with digestive irregularity, and anyone looking for a shelf-stable probiotic option that does not require refrigeration. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
The recommended serving is 2 gummies once per day. They can be taken with or without food. Consistent daily use is encouraged to support the cumulative microbiome and immune benefits of the prebiotic and probiotic ingredients.
What is Baker's Yeast Beta Glucan and how does it support immunity?
Baker's Yeast Beta Glucan is a soluble fiber derived from the cell walls of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the same yeast used in baking and brewing. Beta Glucan is recognized by specific receptors on immune cells, including macrophages and natural killer cells, that are part of the innate immune system. By binding to these receptors, Beta Glucan supports the activation and readiness of these immune cells, promoting a healthy and responsive first-line immune defense. This mechanism is distinct from the microbiome-mediated immune support provided by the probiotic strains in this formula.
Standard probiotic strains such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium are sensitive to heat, moisture, and stomach acid, which can significantly reduce their viability during manufacturing and gastrointestinal transit. Bacillus subtilis DE111 and Bacillus coagulans LactoSpore form protective endospores that allow them to survive these conditions and reach the intestine intact and viable. This makes spore-forming strains particularly well-suited for gummy delivery formats, where the heat of manufacturing would otherwise compromise the viability of standard probiotic strains.
Does this product need to be refrigerated?
No. The spore-forming probiotic strains used in this formula are shelf-stable and do not require refrigeration. Store the product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat to maintain optimal potency through the expiration date.
How does gut health relate to immune function?
A significant portion of the body's immune tissue is located in and around the gastrointestinal tract, in a system known as the gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT). The gut microbiome plays an active role in training and regulating immune responses, and a healthy, diverse microbiome is associated with more balanced and effective immune function. By supporting gut microbiome health through both prebiotic and probiotic activity, this formula addresses the gut-immune connection as a foundational component of overall immune wellness.
How long before I notice results?
Individual responses vary. Some users report noticing improvements in digestive comfort and regularity within the first one to two weeks of consistent use. Benefits related to immune function and microbiome balance are typically best assessed over 4 to 8 weeks of daily supplementation.
