Scientific Support
- In a study of 9 children, those taking oral S. salivarius K12 for 6 months exhibited better ear health.1
- A small study of 5 subjects found that within 24 hours of taking S. salivarius K12, immune markers increased.2 Ingestion of the strain has been found to increase levels of interferon gamma in saliva, which promotes a healthy immune system.
- Individuals suffering from bad breath have fewer strains of S. salivarius and elevated levels of S. pyogenes. Research found that using S. salivarius K12 improved breath scores.3
- In a trial of 23 subjects with bad breath, 85% of those taking 200-400 million CFU daily of S. salivarius K12 for two weeks, compared to 30% of those taking placebo, had a significant reduction in volatile sulphur compounds, foul-smelling chemicals that are the cause of bad breath.4

Due to Glaucoma, I cannot use nasal sprays except Saline ones. I cannot use decongestants either because of my eye condition. Your product has really helped me to minimize my symptoms of sinus and allergies which have plagued me for years. I tried just one pill a day for thirty days. I am now reordering and will take more pills per day and expect to eliminate my sinus and allergy problems. Thank you for such a good product.
I've had sinus surgery, allergy shots, medications and anything else that could be used. This has kept me well through the times I usually have infections.
During the last 4 decades I have spent thousands of dollars in the attempt to find a solution to the post nasal drip, bad taste in mouth and accompanying breath problems. I brushed my teeth and used mouthwash 4-6 times per day. I went to numerous medical and holistic specialists, ordered many types of products and I even had a ct scan and the problem still persisted. It was very frustrating because my career involves working closing with other people in sales and marketing. Thank you very much for marketing the Ear. Nose & Throat Defense. After the first week of use I now have clear fresh breath, and not a trace of sinus problems. I am so happy that I now have the confidence in knowing that this product has gotten to the root of my problem and is not just something that masked it temporarily. I am looking forward to sharing the results with others as well. God blessing you for caring for people and helping them to have a better quality of life..
My husband and I have dealt with persistent, nagging sinus issues for many many years. Within a few days after starting this product -- at 4/day it was completely cleared up. We dropped back to twice a day and now I take one and my husband two a day. I got coxkt and stopped paying attention to taking them and missed a few days. Ikhew this had happened because the issues came back. Now I keep a bottle by my bed and take one every night! Highly recommend.
