In response to the growing demand for an effective breath-freshening solution, Frutarom Inc., the exclusive marketer of BLIS K12, a new oral cavity probiotic bacteria, has released study results showing BLIS K12 can effectively treat bad breath. Most cases of bad breath are the result of protein breakdown by odor-causing bacteria thriving on the tongue. Bacterial byproducts of this protein breakdown include foul-smelling gases which make the breath unpleasant. Good oral care such as brushing and flossing every day can help prevent bad breath by removing food debris and other sources of protein for these bacteria. However, for many people with chronic bad breath or on high protein diet, these steps alone do not provide a satisfactory solution. Research conducted by scientists at the BLIS Technologies Center for Innovation, University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand, found that administration of BLIS K12 after an oral antimicrobial mouthwash reduced volatile sulfur compound levels in the mouths of individuals suffering from chronic bad breath. The outcome of this study indicates the replacement of bacteria causing bad breath by colonization with competitive bacteria could prove an effective strategy to reduce the severity of bad breath. BLIS K12 was designed specifically, to protect the entire oral cavity and is clinically shown to reduce the incidence of sore throat while boosting the immune system. It can be used in many applications and in combination with other probiotics.
