Proprietary Blend of 4 Plants and Minerals

• Inulin supports the good bacteria
• Malic acid in strawberries helps maintain tooth whiteness
• Tricalcium Phosphate supports tooth health
• Peppermint is a natural anti-inflammatory

Lactobacillus Paracasei

This probiotic strain is a cornerstone of ProDentim’s formula, primarily recognized for its robust support of gum health. Lactobacillus paracasei has been studied for its ability to reduce inflammation and support the integrity of gum tissue, potentially lessening the risk of common periodontal issues. Beyond oral benefits, clinical evidence suggests it also contributes to the health of the sinuses, helping to maintain clear airways and overall immune response, which can indirectly impact oral comfort.

Lactobacillus Reuteri

Another powerful Lactobacillus strain, Lactobacillus reuteri, is included for its significant anti-inflammatory properties. For the gums, this means a reduction in redness, swelling, and discomfort often associated with irritation. It plays a crucial role in rebalancing the oral microbiome by competing with harmful bacteria, thereby creating an environment where beneficial flora can thrive and contribute to a healthier, more resilient oral ecosystem.

B.lactis BL-04®

B.lactis BL-04® is a well-researched probiotic strain known for its broad immune-supportive capabilities. In the context of ProDentim, it works to bolster the body’s natural defenses, not just systemically but also within the oral cavity. Its dual benefit extends to both gut and oral health, suggesting that a stronger immune system can better ward off pathogens that might otherwise compromise gum health and overall oral balance.

BLIS K-12

Developed by BLIS Technologies, Streptococcus salivarius K12 (BLIS K-12) is a specialized probiotic strain that targets bad breath at its source. It colonizes the mouth and throat, producing antimicrobial peptides that inhibit the growth of bacteria responsible for volatile sulfur compounds – the primary cause of halitosis. Furthermore, BLIS K-12 offers significant protection for the throat, reducing the incidence of sore throats and supporting upper respiratory health, as evidenced by clinical studies.

BLIS M-18

Similar to BLIS K-12, Streptococcus salivarius M18 (BLIS M-18) is another proprietary strain with specific oral health benefits. Its primary mechanism involves supporting enamel health and contributing to a natural tooth whitening effect. BLIS M-18 helps break down the plaque biofilm, which can harbor stain-causing bacteria, and produces enzymes that inhibit the formation of dental caries, promoting a cleaner, brighter smile.

Inulin

As a powerful prebiotic, Inulin serves a vital role in ProDentim’s formulation. It’s a type of dietary fiber that isn’t digested by human enzymes but acts as a food source for beneficial bacteria, including the probiotic strains found in ProDentim. By nourishing these good bacteria, Inulin enhances their survival, growth, and overall efficacy, ensuring they can effectively colonize the oral cavity and exert their positive effects on the microbiome.

Malic Acid

Malic acid, a natural compound found abundantly in fruits like apples, is included in ProDentim for its ability to support natural tooth whitening. It achieves this by stimulating saliva production, which helps to rinse away food particles and neutralize acids, thereby reducing stain buildup. Additionally, it has a mild brightening effect on enamel without causing erosion, contributing to a naturally radiant smile. Learn more about its benefits here.

Tricalcium Phosphate

Tricalcium phosphate is a highly bioavailable source of calcium, crucial for the remineralization of tooth enamel. Enamel is constantly subjected to demineralization by acids produced by oral bacteria. By providing essential minerals, tricalcium phosphate helps to rebuild and strengthen the enamel structure, making teeth more resistant to decay and sensitivity.

Peppermint

Peppermint is more than just a flavor enhancer in ProDentim; it brings its own set of therapeutic benefits. Known for its natural antimicrobial properties, peppermint helps to inhibit the growth of certain oral pathogens. Its refreshing taste provides long-lasting fresh breath, and crucially, it does so safely without irritating oral tissues, contributing to overall oral comfort and hygiene.
