Bottom line, what’s most important for you to know?
  • There are many natural bacteria that reside within our oral cavity (mouth and throat). During the normal desired state of health, the ‘good’ probiotic bacteria constitute the majority of the overall bacteria in the oral cavity and thus contribute to protecting it from disease-causing bacteria.
  • A sore throat is usually caused by a viral infection, however, in a small number of cases, pharyngitis (throat infection) or tonsillitis can be caused by a bacterial infection, primarily by the Streptococcus A bacteria.
  • The well-researched probiotic strain Blis K-12™ has been found to contribute to the strengthening of the natural flora in the oral cavity and the throat, and its presence in the saliva can delay the growth of pathogens.

Probiotics is a general name for the entirety of ‘good’ bacteria that constantly reside in various areas of our body. Every such area is called a flora, whereas the greatest and richest flora is found in the gut. These flora areas are ecosystems consisting of ‘families’ of bacteria that coexist with their host (us) and actively assist its proper functioning. While most of us don’t make the connection between probiotic bacteria and the throat, it’s important to know that the activity of such bacteria isn’t limited to the digestive system alone, since there’s a rich bacterial flora in the oral cavity.

Blis K-12 the friendly probiotic for your oral cavity

Blis is a probiotic that colonizes the oral cavity and the throat, thus creating a positive balance against pathogens, delaying their growth.

Blis K-12™ is a well-researched probiotic strain that had been discovered in New Zealand. For years, a research team directed by Professor John Tagg, had studied and analyzed children’s saliva samples in order to find differences between them. They reached a breakthrough when the researchers had succeeded in isolating the specific strain from a healthy child, who hasn’t had a sore throat for 6 years in a row. This special probiotic strain can be found in all of our mouths as part of the healthy oral flora, but it’s only found in a high enough concentration in a small percentage of the population. According to research, its presence in the saliva contributes to the strengthening of the natural defense against disease-causing pathogens.

A moment before pharyngitis catches up to you

During seasonal changes, there seems to be an uptake in illnesses causing a sore throat. Catching a sore throat is very easy; many infections are airborne and can pass from one person to another via respiratory droplets, such as a cough or a sneeze, from a sick person at home or in school. In kindergarten or school, it’s enough to have one sick child that can infect everyone around them. There are individuals who are more prone to develop throat infections more often, and so their natural oral flora is highly important.

The connection between Blis K-12 and Streptococcus

One of the most common bacteria in the oral cavity of both children and adults is Streptococcus Pyogenes (Strep A). This bacterium usually causes pharyngitis or tonsillitis, but in some rare cases can become violent and lethal. Failing to treat a bacterial throat infection can lead to complications, including heart valve damage. Usually, treatment consists of antibiotics, which harm the pathogens, but also the ‘good’ bacteria in the flora.

The unique strain Blis K-12 is also a part of the Streptococcus group, but is a friendly and desired probiotic bacterium. It inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria, especially those from the Streptococcus group, which is known to cause tonsillitis, ear infections, bad breath, and cavities. Taking a nutritional supplement containing this specific and well-researched probiotic Blis K-12™ can help strengthen the natural flora in the oral cavity, and can be used either at the end of an antibiotic treatment, or as a routine preventative treatment for the strengthening of the natural defense against pathogens.

Blis K-12 has received FDA approval as GRAS and is completely safe to use.
