Strengthen Oral Health – 1st Clinically Proven Probiotics for Oral Health

2 May, 2023

  • Bad breath 
  • Sore throat  
  • Ear infection  
  • Gum diseases
  • Sinus infection  
  • Tonsil inflammation 

Do you experience the above health concerns? You have been working hard to maintain oral health, yet are you still prone to oral infections? That could be due to multiple factors. Firstly, our mouth is one of the first entry points for any form of harmful bacteria getting into the body and an easy and direct gateway to the rest of the body. Bacteria or viruses can enter through the mouth and cause an infection within the oral cavity or beyond, leading to possibly, for instance, potential stomach-ache, flu, allergy, etc. Thus, it is crucial to keep our oral health at its peak to be a solid first line of defense against harmful germs!  

Ways to Ensure a Better Oral Health 

We could keep ourselves healthy just by starting with the mouth!  

How Probiotics Protect Oral Immunity 

Oral probiotics will ensure good bacteria growth and prevent harmful bacteria growth. Streptococcus salivarius is one of the most found bacteria in the oral cavity, accounting for 15-40% of the total oral bacteria population in tested healthy subjects’ mouths. However, less than 2% of the people produce K12 strains.  

Therefore, recent clinical studies show that taking Streptococcus salivarius BLIS K12 probiotics just in 90 days significantly reduces the incidence of throat infection in adults and children! Besides, Streptococcus salivarius BLIS K12 can also reduce an individual’s bad breath within just seven days. 

How Streptococcus salivarius BLIS K12 Works? 

  1.  Streptococcus salivarius BLIS K12 resides and protects your oral cavity. 
  2.  Fight off harmful bacteria and prevent the entry or residence of harmful germs. 
  3.  Produce anti-microbial substances (salivaricin A & B) to destroy harmful germs.
