Probiotic Gum Tackles Gingivitis

January 16, 2009: 04:22 PM EST
Swedish biotechnology company BioGaia AB has expanded its range of products containing the probiotic Lactobacillus reuteri Prodentis (L. reuteri, or “Prodentis”) to include a gum that helps to control gingivitis. BioGaia has previously marketed lozenges, liquid drops and tablets containing L. reuteri, but this is the first to target “bad” bacteria in the mouth. The company says the mint-flavored, sugar-free gum, named GUM Periobalance, is backed by a recent study and anecdotal evidence. About half the US population aged over 30 is known to be affected by gingivitis. The gum is available in Europe, Scandinavia, South Africa and Indonesia.
