Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. How long does one bottle last?

At 1 lozenge daily, a 60-count bottle lasts 60 days.

2. Can children use this?

Yes, but only for ages 3+. Use 1 lozenge daily under supervision to prevent choking.

3. Why BLIS K12 instead of other probiotics?

BLIS K12 is oral-specific – it adheres to mouth/throat tissues, unlike gut-focused probiotics. It produces bacteriocins that target pathogens like Streptococcus pyogenes (strep throat).

4. Does it replace brushing/flossing?

No. It complements oral hygiene but doesn’t remove plaque or debris.

5. Can I use this during a cold/sore throat?

Yes. It may shorten duration and reduce severity, but is preventive, not a cure.

6. Is xylitol safe?

Yes. Xylitol inhibits cavity-causing bacteria and is tooth-friendly. Toxic to dogs – keep away from pets.

7. How does this benefit Kenyan users?

• Counters airborne pathogens in high-density cities (e.g., Nairobi matatus, markets).
• Supports throat health in dry, dusty regions (e.g., Northern Kenya).
• Ideal for travelers exposed to new bacteria.

8. Can I take it with antibiotics?

Take 2+ hours apart from antibiotics to avoid killing the probiotic. Continue after antibiotic course to restore oral flora.

Who Can Benefit?

• Individuals prone to sore throats, tonsillitis, or ear infections.
• Those with chronic bad breath (halitosis).
• Teachers, healthcare workers, or frequent travelers.
• People seeking non-antibiotic support for ENT immunity.
• Families wanting preventive seasonal wellness (especially in school-aged children).
