It is a component of various probiotic dietary supplements that are designed to support the health of the digestive system. Due to its abilities and health benefits, this bacterial strain is also often added to yoghurt and other dairy products.

Bacillus coagulans is also an ingredient in some pet foods, where it promotes a healthy gut flora and contributes to the health of the entire digestive system of the animal.
