Natural Bad Breath Remedy That Really Works!

It works by replacing the bacteria in your mouth - some of which are causing your bad breath - with Streptococcus salivarius K12.

You will need to do retake it every so often because slowly your natural mouth bacteria will re-establish themselves. It's very hard to permanently alter the indigenous population of bacteria in your mouth. Everything about your individual lifestyle conspires to keep the status quo.

Studies show that after about 8 days the numbers of K12 bacteria will begin to diminish. They will still be there 3 weeks later but in lesser numbers.

You will find your own level of how often you need to retake it. Many people find taking a course once a month keeps their mouth fresh and clean.

Others find that at the change of each season is a good time.

Streptococcus salivarius K12 is a probiotic bacteria. That means that it is a good bacteria.

The official World Health Organization definition of probiotics is "live microorganisms which when administered in adequate amounts confer a health benefit on the host."

"confer a health benefit" - that's the important bit.

Now the inside of our mouth is a battle ground for competing bacteria. There are many, many bad bacteria there and they are the ones that cause bad breath. Aktiv K12 fights those pathogenic bacteria.

One of the natural homes for this good bacteria is the human mouth. Yep! It is supposed to be in our mouths. It was originally discovered in the mouth of a healthy human child.

As well, it is closely related to Streptococcus thermophilus which is found in yogurt.

Studies have been done specifically to test whether it could be in any way harmful to people and it passed all tests.

I personally take it Spring and Autumn each year and have for several years to guard against those change-of-season coughs and colds.

Guarding children against "Strep throat" was what this fabulous little bacteria was first thought to do. And it does.

But, in the process, they discovered that is ALSO cures bad breath.

Streptococcus salivarius K12 was discovered by Professor John Tagg from Otago University in New Zealand. As a child, he caught "strep throat" which developed into rheumatic fever and he needed to take penicillin antibiotics for most of his teenage years.

Many years later, as a Professor, he looked for a probiotic bacteria that would protect children from "strep throat" and the harm it causes.

The fact that it also cures bad breath was just a wonderful side effect.

Many of them hang out on the back part (the dorsal area) of your tongue.

This area is drier than many parts of the mouth and doesn't get cleaned so often. This makes it a very desirable residence for the bacteria that cause bad breath.

When the tongue is examined under a microscope you can see that the surface is very convoluted and it is within the "hills and valleys" of your tongue that these bacteria feed on the remnants of food, dead skin cells and postnasal drip. Sounds a bit yuck but that is how things are in that area!

So these bacteria multiply, breaking down the protein they find into volatile sulfur compounds and you end up with a coated tongue and breath that makes strong men cry.

But, that super-duper natural bad breath remedy, Therabreath's Aktiv K12, will make that all a thing of the past.
