NOW Foods OralBiotic® Lozenges
Description
NOW OralBiotic® Lozenges use the clinically studied probiotic strain BLIS K12® to support a healthy oral and throat environment for both adults and children. The strawberry flavored lozenge dissolves slowly in the mouth so the probiotic can colonize where it is needed.
Each 2 lozenge serving provides 42 mg of Streptococcus salivarius K12 (BLIS K12®), delivering 1 billion CFU of the probiotic strain.
Let the lozenges dissolve slowly rather than chewing them, and take them at least 2 hours apart from any antibiotic. NOW manufactures OralBiotic in an Intertek GMP certified, USA based facility, and the formula is Kosher and vegan; keep the bottle tightly sealed and refrigerated after opening.
