What is Bioguard™?
BioGuard™ is a clinically studied advanced probiotic containing 1 billion beneficial bacteria that help defend your immune system at your most vulnerable areas – ear, nose and throat. The active ingredient is called S. Salivarius K12, which produces something known as BLIS that destroys dangerous bacteria that affect normal immune balance.What are probiotics?
Probiotics are beneficial bacteria important for healthy immune response. There are different types of probiotics and most focus on digestive health; however, BioGuard targets immune health of the mouth, ear, nose and throat. BioGuard contains an advanced probiotic known as S. Salivarius BLIS K12How does BioGuard work?
While different bacteria are competing for living space in your mouth, BioGuard defends its territory by firing an antibacterial protein “weapon” known as BLIS, which stands for “Bacteriocin-Like Inhibitory Substance.” This is a powerful weapon made from the good bacteria found in BioGuard. When BioGuard releases these BLIS missiles, it damages the competing bad bacteria thereby forcing them out of your mouth. The result is a healthier immune system.

BioGuard starts protecting you immediately as the Melt Tab dissolves in your mouth.What benefits will I feel from BioGuard?
After noticing the initial strawberry flavor, you won’t likely feel much difference, but your mouth will be filled with powerful immunities against the assaults from harmful bacteria which attack through your ear, nose and throat. Overall, you should have better health.Why do I need an immune system boost?
A weakened immune system can leave you vulnerable to illness especially with the stress of your life and the environment in which you live, whether at work, school or during travel. When we are under stress, or there is an inordinate number of unfriendly bacteria circulating, sometimes your body loses the battle which may result in such things as throat irritation and perhaps more. Therefore, boosting your immune system by adding the reinforcement of BioGuard can produce added immune benefits. BioGuard offers an incredible weapon to protect your body with the active ingredient BLIS K12. With BioGuard, you are less likely to acquire bacterial infections that cause throat irritations, and best of all, with BioGuard, you are less likely to pass them along to your family members!What is BLIS K12 and what does BLIS Stand for
BLIS stands for “Bacteriocin-Like Inhibitory Substance,” which means that BLIS K12 probiotic can respond to a threat by ramping up the production of antibacterial proteins. Therefore, shelf-stable BLIS K12 found in BioGuard is able to act on bacteria that cause some unhealthy conditions (immune imbalance, throat irritations, mouth odor, etc). BLIS K12 is well studied, with a number of studies published in Journals like the Journal of Applied Microbiology.How does BioGuard affect the ear, nose and throat?
When you become ill and you see a physician, the exam begins by looking at your ears, nose and throat. That is because the ear, nose and throat are the gateways to your body’s immune system. When you dissolve BioGuard Melt Tab in your mouth, the BLIS K12 immediately begins to work by destroying harmful bacteria and then replacing them with beneficial bacteria. Because BioGuard removes the bacteria that can irritate your throat, you body will not have to send an inflammatory response to fight these unwanted invaders. Therefore, BioGuard positively affects and protects the ear, nose and throat.How does BioGuard promote healthy gums and fresh breath?
Your mouth contains numerous different bacteria including unwanted bacteria that breakdown proteins in you mouth and subsequently releases an undesirable metabolic by-product (commonly known as bad breath). Because BioGuard attacks bad bacteria with its BLIS K12 weapons, it not only kills bacteria that cause infections, it kills all bad bacteria including the ones affecting the gums and bad breath. With the bad bacteria eliminated, BioGuard helps to promote healthy gums and fresh breath.Is there anything special I should know about BioGuard?
