Revolutionize Your Dental Check-Ups. The probiotic strains in PRO-Dental work together to create an environment in the oral cavity that helps lessen the buildup of sticky deposits that can eventually lead to problems. These beneficial strains also work to crowd out undesirable bacteria, helping to address the root cause of unhealthy gums.

Repopulate Your Oral Microbiome. You might be familiar with your gut microbiome, but did you know that different probiotic strains populate your oral cavity? And, if the balance of good bacteria in your mouth is compromised, dental issues can develop. Even more, poor oral health is often indicative of problems elsewhere in the body. That’s why we created PRO-Dental: so you can proactively support this often-forgotten microbiome!

Live More Healthy Days. Your mouth is the gatekeeper and the first line of defense when it comes to the microbes that make their way into our bodies. The strains in PRO-Dental are among the most important and beneficial bacteria of the mouth–in fact, research shows that K12 can begin to support your immune system within just 24 hours!

Freshen Breath At Its Source. Did you know that when you use mouthwash to prevent bad breath, you kill both the good and bad bacteria? And, did you know that the good bacteria can potentially help keep the bad breath causing bacteria in check? This means that the best long-term solution to freshening breath si to repopulate your oral cavoty with the good guys found in PRO-Dental. Typically, we try to "mask" bad breath with cosmetic products such as mounth rinses, gums and sprays. When the strains in PRO-Dentla colonize in your month, they actually help to crowd out the odor-causing bacteria and therefore freshen breath at its root.

Maintain Healthy Ears, Nose, Throat, And Sinuses. When your oral microbiome is populated with strong probiotic colonies, you are equipped with natural defenses against common invaders. PRO-Dental is formulated with targeted probiotic strains to replenish the balance of good bacteria and support oral and upper respiratory health.

Targeted Oral Probiotic Strains (including S. salivarius K12, S. salivarius M18, L. reuteri and L. paracasei) because bacterial diversity is key when it comes to oral and dental health.
Chelated Zinc. This superior bioavailable form of Zinc plays a vital role in supporting the formation of connective tissue, teeth, and bones. Zinc may even play a role helping the uptake of calcium to your bones.

When is the Best Time to Take Probiotics?

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Can taking probiotics at a specific time maximize their benefits for gut health? Is it possible to lose those benefits—or even experience side effects—by taking them at the wrong time? There are several opinions on proper probiotic timing, and the “best” time may differ depending on the types of organisms or strains. To clear up the confusion, let’s take a look at some of the most common questions about when to take probiotic supplements.

Should you take probiotics on an empty stomach?

Your stomach has a pH between 1 and 3 when empty, which is highly acidic. This environment can affect how many probiotic organisms arrive in your intestines alive. If the majority of them die off during digestion, your supplement won’t deliver the gut health benefits you were expecting. Some research shows taking a probiotic supplement either 30 minutes before or at the start of a meal maximizes microbial survival rates. This may be due to the rise in pH that occurs when you eat. Less acid means more bacteria can pass through the stomach unaffected. Eating some healthy fat with your meal, such as nuts or avocados, may also help the organisms pass safely through your stomach.. The only strain that doesn’t seem to require food is Saccharomyces boulardii. This beneficial yeast appears to be able to survive the stomach’s acidity without the aid of a meal.

Are enteric coated probiotics a better choice?

To bypass the problem of stomach acid altogether, some probiotic supplements are made with enteric coatings. This type of coating doesn’t dissolve until after the pill leaves the stomach and reaches the more alkaline environment of the small intestine. Enteric coatings can be beneficial if you’re taking less-common probiotic strains, some of which only have a 40% survival rate without additional protection. However, probiotics like Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium and Streptococcus appear to survive well throughout the digestive tract and don’t require enteric coating to be effective. There is also a debate over whether probiotic strains can survive exposure to bile salts once the enteric coating dissolves in the small intestine, but research shows certain strains may be able to interact with bile salts in a way that improves their viability.

Is it safe to take probiotics with antibiotics?

A review of scientific evidence suggests the practice of taking probiotics during a course of antibiotics can reduce diarrhea. Researchers haven’t yet determined which strains are best for controlling this common side effect, but that doesn’t mean probiotics won’t help your gut when you’re on medication. You just might have to pay a little more attention to timing. It’s safe to start taking a probiotic supplement as soon as you begin an antibiotic regimen. Space the doses a couple of hours apart to prevent the antibiotic from interfering with the probiotic’s ability to survive.. Be cautious about how long you continue to take probiotics when your antibiotics are gone. One study indicated that four weeks of supplementing can delay microbiome recovery for several months. The study only tested one probiotic preparation containing 11 strains, so it’s possible that a more targeted, personalized approach could have different results. To be safe, limit probiotic intake to a one- to two-week period after taking antibiotics, and then take a break to let your microbiome finish repopulating naturally.

When should you take probiotics?

Although there isn’t yet a solid scientific answer on the “best” time to take probiotics, you don’t have to try to figure it out on your own. Manufacturers provide dosage and timing instructions specific to the strain or strains in the supplement. When you’re using probiotics for general gut health, consistency is important. Use the manufacturer’s instructions as a guide for best results as you make probiotic supplements part of your routine. If you don’t see the results you want, the bacterial strain is more likely to be the culprit than timing. Probiotics are complex, and factors like strain type, combination and concentration can influence effectiveness. A knowledgeable healthcare practitioner can help you find supplements with strains specific to the health outcomes you’re seeking. Feel free to experiment with probiotic timing until you find a schedule that works for you!
