3/5 Evidence Score

StaiMune® is a postbiotic from Kerry made of inactivated (heat-killed) Bacillus coagulans GBI-30, 6086 cells. As a non-living postbiotic, it is shelf-stable and does not need refrigeration, and it is studied for supporting immune function through interaction with the gut immune system.

Studied Dose Around 0.5 to 1 billion inactivated cells per day.
Active Compound Inactivated (heat-killed) Bacillus coagulans GBI-30, 6086, a postbiotic that retains immune-signaling cell components.

Benefits

Immune support

In laboratory studies, the inactivated probiotic induced complex immune responses in human immune cells, supporting its use for immune readiness.

Supported by Trial 1

Shelf-stable convenience

Because the cells are inactivated, StaiMune is stable without refrigeration and survives a wide range of formulations.

Supported by Trial 1

Gut-immune interaction

It engages the gut-associated immune system to help maintain a balanced immune response.

Supported by Trial 1

Mechanism of action

1

Immune cell activation

Components of the inactivated cells are recognized by immune cells, prompting a measured immune response without needing live colonization.

2

Postbiotic stability

Heat treatment preserves the bioactive cell structures that signal to the immune system while removing the need for live organisms.

Laboratory study of inactivated Bacillus coagulans GBI-30 on human immune-cell responses. (Jensen et al. 2017, Journal of Inflammation Research)

Human immune cells (in vitro).

The inactivated probiotic induced complex immune responses in human immune cells, supporting its immune-modulating activity.

Side effects and drug interactions

Common Potential side effects

GENERALLY WELL-TOLERATED — postbiotics are non-living and very safe.
Mild digestive changes are possible when starting any gut supplement.
No live-organism infection risk.

Important Drug interactions

Immunosuppressants — an immune-stimulating postbiotic could in theory counteract them; use cautiously.
No significant interactions are expected.
Tell your doctor if you are immunocompromised.
