Lactobacillus Reuteri
Lactobacillus reuteri is a probiotic strain found in the human gastrointestinal tract, urinary tract, and mouth.
What is it used for?
It is widely used to manage inflammation in the gums and support a healthy oral environment. It produces antimicrobial substances (like reuterin) that inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria.
What does available evidence suggest?
Clinical evidence strongly supports the use of L. reuteri in oral health. Studies show it can significantly reduce bleeding gums (gingivitis) and plaque formation when used as a daily lozenge or chewable tablet.
Safety considerations
Very safe for general use. It is commonly given even to infants to manage colic.
