NaturesPlus Adult's Ear, Nose and Throat Lozenges with K12 Probiotics - 60 Lozenges

Top Ingredients in NaturesPlus ENT Lozenges

What makes these lozenges stand out? The carefully selected ingredients work together to maintain a healthy microbial balance in the mouth and throat. The key component is Probiotic K12 (Streptococcus salivarius K12), a strain naturally present in the oral cavity that helps crowd out undesirable bacteria. Lactobacillus acidophilus adds further digestive and immune support, while zinc contributes to the normal function of the immune system and helps maintain healthy skin and mucous membranes. Each serving of two lozenges delivers 6 billion colony-forming units of probiotics and 5 mg of zinc, in a natural tropical cherry berry flavour with no artificial colours or preservatives.

What Are Ear, Nose and Throat Probiotic Lozenges?

These lozenges offer a specialised way to support the upper respiratory tract's natural defences. Unlike traditional probiotic capsules aimed at the gut, they deliver beneficial bacteria directly to the mouth and throat, where they can colonise and help maintain a balanced microflora. The unique strain, Streptococcus salivarius K12, is naturally found in the oral cavity and has been studied for its role in supporting immune function and maintaining fresh breath. Alongside Lactobacillus acidophilus and zinc, the lozenges provide comprehensive support in a convenient, great-tasting format.

Key Benefits for Immune and Respiratory Support

These lozenges are designed to help maintain a healthy balance of microorganisms in the throat and sinuses, which is part of the body's natural defences. Many users notice a difference during seasonal challenges. Zinc, a key mineral, contributes to normal immune system function. Additionally, the lozenges promote fresh breath by inhibiting odour-causing bacteria, and they support healthy teeth and gums. The slow-dissolving lozenge form gives the beneficial bacteria more time to interact with oral tissues, enhancing their effects. This innovative approach provides a simple way to support overall wellbeing.

Who Should Consider These Lozenges?

These lozenges are ideal for adults looking to bolster their natural defences, particularly during cold and flu season or when traveling. They are also a great choice for anyone concerned about oral health or bad breath. Because they are gluten-free and free from artificial colours and preservatives, they suit those with dietary sensitivities. People who spend time in crowded environments, such as offices or schools, may find extra support from the probiotic K12 strain. Additionally, those who prefer a tasty, easy-to-take supplement over capsules or tablets will appreciate the lozenge format. However, they are not intended for children and should be used as part of a balanced lifestyle.

How to Choose the Best Probiotic Lozenges for You

When selecting a probiotic lozenge, consider the specific strains used. Streptococcus salivarius K12 is particularly well-studied for oral and throat health, making it a suitable choice for upper respiratory support. The colony-forming units (CFUs) matter—each serving of these lozenges provides 6 billion viable cells, an effective dose. Look for products that include complementary ingredients like zinc for added immune support. Quality manufacturing is also critical; NaturesPlus produces these lozenges in facilities registered with the FDA and NSF, ensuring purity and potency. The lozenges are also free from artificial colours and preservatives. Finally, choose a flavour you enjoy—this tropical cherry berry flavour makes daily use pleasant.
