Did you know that your mouth is home to billions of bacteria? Some of these bacteria are friendly, protective probiotic bacteria that act as your first line of defense against the unfriendly bacteria and viruses that enter through your mouth and nose. Chewing just one piece of CulturedCare Probiotic Gum with BLIS K12 daily will populate your mouth with these infection-fighting probiotics and help protect your throat, mouth, nose and ears. CulturedCare Probiotic Gum with BLIS K12 is the only chewing gum dosage form of a patented oral probiotic strain - Streptococcus salivarius K12. BLIS is an abbreviation for Bacteriocin-Like Inhibitory Substance. BLIS is the naturally occurring component of certain strains of micro-organisms (probiotics) which control undesirable and disease-causing bacteria and promote oral health. BLIS K12 is the special BLIS probiotic strain derived from Streptococcus salivarius. BLIS K12 "colonizes" and lives in the mouth and throat. It stimulates the throat's natural immune defense system and protects the mouth, ears, nose and throat against infection. BLIS K12 specifically controls infection by Streptococcus pyogenes, pathogenic bacteria that cause strep throat which can lead to rheumatic fever and scarlet fever. BLIS K12 also protects against otitis media (earache), halitosis (bad breath), sore throats, thrush and oral candida yeast infection.
