ST. LOUIS, Mo.—The BLIS K12™ and BLIS M18™ oral probiotic ingredients are now available from Stratum Nutrition, a Novus International business focusing on nutrition through functional and specialty ingredients. BLIS Technologies Ltd., producer of BLIS probiotics, selected Stratum Nutrition as its exclusive distribution partner for United States, Canada, Europe and other regions as of Dec. 1, 2011.
BLIS K12™ is a specific strain of S. salivarius that has been shown in clinical trials and population-based studies to help provide a natural long term protection from bad breath as well as supporting our immune system’s natural defenses. BLIS M18 is a naturally occurring strain that positively populates the oral cavity with beneficial bacteria providing a less hospitable environment for other opportunistic bacteria such as Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) to thrive. In addition to its BLIS production, M18 also has the extra advantage of producing enzymes that allow it to help protect against dental plaque and neutralize acid that can be harmful to teeth and gums.
Stratum Nutrition will be showcasing BLIS probiotics during Engredea March 9 to 11, 2012, in Anaheim, Calif.
