New Throat-Specific Probiotic Tablet Offers Ear, Nose and Throat Protection
DELAFIELD, Wis. – A mint-flavored chewable probiotic product to help maintain the health of the ear, nose and throat has been introduced by True Botanica, a nutritional supplements producing company.
Called True Defense, the menthol-mint tablets contain the throat-specific probiotics BLIS K12 and a proprietary blend of all-natural ingredients designed to support the natural immune defense of the upper airway against outside viruses and bacteria. Scientific research has shown that an abundance of this type of probiotics in the in the mouth and throat can help strengthen the natural, protective shield that can keep viruses and bad bacteria from entering the respiratory system. This research also indicates that use of antibiotics and other factors can weaken this barrier over time hence the need for constant support and rebuilding.
Developed by practicing physicians, True Defense chewable tablets may be taken at hourly intervals to help relieve the occasional sore throat. They can also be used long term on a daily basis to help support the natural immune defenses of the mucous membranes of the mouth, ears, and throat.
“Since most unwanted germs come to us through close person to person contact a healthy immune barrier is extremely important particularly for those traveling, interacting with large crowds, and in school,” said Ross Rentea MD, one of the developers of True Defense.
Repopulating the upper respiratory tract with these bacteria also eliminates one of the main causes of bad breath.
Mark Kamsler, MD, board certified pediatrician and the other developer of True Defense, tells ussaid that in addition to the BLIS K12 probiotic blend, the product also contains enzymes, elderberry, and most importantly, a full recommended daily amount (RDA) of Vitamin C, all of which help maintain overall good health.
Rentea added, “True Defense is formulated with ingredients that have been shown in independent studies to improve health. Individuals with an abundance of BLIS K12 can better trap and destroy outside bacteria while their ability to stimulate the production of interferon helps protect from viruses. Vitamin C and trace minerals have been shown to shorten the duration of the minor sore throat and chronic cough. Lactobacillus sporogenes is an acid resistant probiotic that aids in digestion and improves the general immune strength in the body.”
He also observed that “Peer reviewed studies indicate that the probiotics and other ingredients included in True Defense help to maintain the sinuses and ear health beyond the respiratory health of the throat.”
The supplement has been tested by an independent U.S. lab and is manufactured in a state-of-the-art GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices)-certified facility. GMP certification ensures that the product manufacturing has undergone evaluations for quality, purity, and safety, according to guidelines of the National Nutritional Foods Association.
