BLIS K12 Daily Defence Probiotic Powder Junior is specially formulated for toddlers to support ear, nose and throat health. Our mouths are lined with various health-promoting bacteria, some of which are integral to health and disease. One very common bacteria found in the mouth of healthy humans is Streptococcus salivarius. Among the most numerous beneficial bacteria in your mouth, S. salivarius is typically the first one we acquire naturally as infants. Some speculate we get it through our mother’s first kiss.

The effects of BLIS K12™ are more significant with children who have recurring throat infections. University of Otago’s research shows that children with recurring throat infections had less healthy bacteria in their throats. This is something that occurs naturally. You either have it, or you don’t. If you don’t, and you take BLIS K12™, it improves the healthy bacterial population and makes you less susceptible to sore throats. And of course, sore throats are often at the heart of middle ear infections. In fact, Italian clinical trials of BLIS K12™ showed over 90% reduction in doctor visits, days off school and, of course, days off work for parents looking after sick children.
