NIGEPRB1002642
Streptococcus Salivarius K12 is a high-potency, vegan-friendly probiotic strain specifically isolated from the human oral cavity. This commensal bacterium is a primary coloniser of the tongue and nasopharyngeal tissues. It is distinguished by its ability to produce specific bacteriocins, namely salivaricin A2 and salivaricin B, which are lantibiotic peptides that inhibit the growth of various undesirable Gram-positive bacteria through the disruption of bacterial cell membranes. Supplied at a concentration of 100 Billion CFU/g, this ingredient is designed for integration into specialized food supplements, such as lozenges or powders, intended to support the oral microbiome and mucosal immunity. Its mechanism of action involves competitive exclusion and the maintenance of a balanced microbial environment within the upper respiratory tract. This stable, high-concentration format ensures efficacy and ease of formulation for advanced nutraceutical applications.
