Bifodan A/S Introduces Portfolio of Innovative Probiotic Solutions

11 Nov 2013 --- With ProDenta, KIDS-ProDenta and ProFresh, Bifodan A/S is introducing a portfolio of innovative probiotic solutions, designed specifically to support oral health.

Through an increasing number of scientific publications with encouraging conclusions, there is mounting evidence that select probiotic strains with well-defined characteristics can positively contribute to maintain a balanced and healthy micro biota of the oral cavity.

An imbalanced oral micro biota may lead to oral health problems such as caries, gingivitis, periodontitis, and bad breath.

The new ProDenta & ProFresh products represent a novel approach to maintain good tooth and gum health and freshen breath through maintaining a healthy micro biota of the oral cavity though providing a natural defense against oral pathogens, explains Business Development Manager, Niels Peter Bak.

The products contain a proprietary probiotic strain of Lactobacillus salivarius, carefully selected from a large pool of strains, due to its‘ strong capability of effectively suppressing specific oral pathogens linked to caries, gingivitis and bad breath. The screening and selection of probiotic strains were carried out in very close collaboration with leading scientists at Copenhagen University, Department of Odontology.

“Through combining skills in probiotic strain selection with our long standing expertise within development and GMP manufacture of probiotic solutions, we are excited to introduce a portfolio of innovative turn-key probiotic solutions for oral health. The products include a tasty chewable tablet for children‘s tooth health and two lozenges for adults for tooth & gum health and for breath freshening” concludes Niels Peter Bak.

All products are available as turnkey solutions ready to market under the customer’s brand name.
