NOW Foods OralBiotic 60 Lozenges

NOW® OralBiotic® delivers BLIS K12®, a powerful strain of Streptococcus salivarius — among the most numerous beneficial bacteria in a healthy mouth, and typically the first acquired in infancy.* Taken regularly as a slow-dissolving lozenge, BLIS K12® colonizes the mouth and throat and helps maintain the natural defenses of this key entry point to the body, supporting ear, nose and throat health and helping maintain fresh breath.* Developed for adults and children (age 2 and up), it's a targeted oral probiotic — not a gut probiotic — in a pleasant strawberry lozenge.*

Frequently asked questions

How is OralBiotic different from a gut probiotic?
OralBiotic uses BLIS K12®, a strain of S. salivarius that colonizes the mouth and throat rather than the gut, supporting oral, ear, nose and throat health and fresh breath. It's dissolved slowly in the mouth, not swallowed as a capsule.*

Who can take it?
It's developed for adults and children age 2 and up — dissolve the lozenge slowly in the mouth. For children under 2, use only on a practitioner's advice.*

Any timing considerations?
Because some antibiotics can inactivate S. salivarius, take OralBiotic at least 2 hours before or after antibiotic medications. Refrigerate to maintain potency.*

Cautions & interactions

Because some antibiotics can inactivate S. salivarius, take OralBiotic at least 2 hours before or after antibiotic medications. Talk to your doctor before use if you are pregnant or nursing, take immune-suppressing medication, or have a compromised immune system. It contains xylitol (harmful to pets) and milk. Refrigerate to maintain potency, and for children under 2 use only on a practitioner's advice. Keep out of reach of children.

Allergen information: milk.

Caution: Consult physician if pregnant/nursing, taking medication (especially immune-suppressing drugs), or have a medical condition (especially if immune system is compromised). Because some antibiotics may inactivate S. salivarius, take at least 2 hours before or after taking antibiotic medications. Keep out of reach of children.  Xylitol is harmful to pets; seek veterinary care immediately if ingestion is suspected. Learn more about pet safety.
