The Science
Behind Bionaze™ Probiotic Supplement
BLIS K12™
Bacteriocin-Like Inhibitory Substance Streptococcus Salivarius (BLIS K12) is specifically formulated to fight Streptococcus Pyogene, a harmful bacteria specie that causes pharyngitis, rheumatic fever, tonsillitis, scarlet fever and numerous other infections. Various clinical studies have also found that BLIS K12 is effective in delivering probiotics and promoting good oral health. It’s also proven to greatly reduce oral infections, halitosis (bad breath) and upper respiratory tract infections.
It works by attaching to cells in your mouth, pushing out the bad bacteria and colonizing the surface. To more effectively colonize the mouth, it has to be exposed to the oral surfaces for an extended period of time. This makes the lozenge a very ideal method of taking in BLIS K12. Since it slowly melts in the mouth, the probiotic is given ample time to stick and breed in the oral cavities.
A study in Milan have also confirmed its positive effects in preventing streptococcal pharyngotonsilitis in children. It is also found to have protective properties against severe candidiasis in a study published by the American Society for Microbiology. It modulates the growth and adhesion of Candida albicans (the bacteria that causes candidiasis) to the mouth and tongue.
Regular intake of this probiotic is ideal to maintain a healthy balance of bacteria in your mouth and throat. This balance is essential in preventing the spread of bad bacteria that may lead to or worsen oral health issues. Learn more about the BLIS K12 strain here.
BIFIDOBACTERIUM LACTIS Bl-04
Bl-04 is mostly found in the large intestines of mammals including humans. Experts are generally interested in its potential for improving gastrointestinal function, immunity and enhancing the side effects of antibiotics.
A recent study has proven its effect on people who are infected with the “rhinovirus” more commonly known as the cold virus. These people were given the Bl-04 probiotic strain for about two months. They exhibited reduced respiratory tract infection and the spreading of virus was effectively contained.
A clinical trial also revealed that Bl-04 can be used to treat nasal allergies. Children with hay fever caused by a birch tree pollen were administered with a dose of Bl-04 and Lactobacillus Acidophilus. Results indicated that their eosinophils in the nose area are reduced. Eosinophils are white blood cells that control allergies. They have also shown lesser incidence of nasal congestion and discharge.
Doubts as to whether its safe for human consumption have already been addressed by several previous studies. It’s even present in several types of foods we consume daily. The European Food Safety Authority even added it to the Qualified Presumption of Safety list. The EU also hasn’t detected any acquired antibiotic resistance from consuming this probiotic strain.
