Health benefits of BLIS K12 (oral probiotic)

Two studies published in International Journal of General Medicine Therapy & Expert Opinion on Biological Therapy suggest that oral probiotic could minimize recurrence of common childhood ear and throat infections. The oral probiotic could reduce recurrence of otitis media (ear infection) by 40% and tonsillitis (throat infection) by 90%.

Streptococcus salivarius is a bacteria that secretes a powerful antimicrobial molecule called BLIS (Bacteriocin Like Inhibitory Substances).

BLIS K12 is an oral probiotic that supports the healthy bacteria in the mouth for long-term fresh breath as well as for immunity.

BLIS was developed by scientists at the University of Otago in New Zealand.

Barry Richardson, CEO of BLIS Technologies said, ‘We have seen that BLIS K12 probiotic when taken on daily basis is very effective in establishing itself inside the mouth and throat,’ Further adding ‘This is important because BLIS K12 has evolved a number of defence mechanisms, which protects it from other bacteria, such as those shown to cause tonsillitis, etc; by protecting itself from harmful bacteria, BLIS K12 also protects us from harmful bacteria.’

Not only in children, BLIS K12 is effective in adults too.

The BLIS K12 supplementation in the study was given for 90 days.
