Lactic acid bacteria derived from the human oral cavity, periodontal pockets and mutans bacteria are significantly reduced

 L8020 Lactobacillus (Lactobacillus lamnosus KO3 strain) collected from the human oral cavity. As a lactic acid bacterium that improves oral flora, it is used in many products such as yogurt, supplements, tablets, and pet supplements. It is known that this bacterium is more stable in the oral mucosa than other lactic acid bacteria and activates mucosal immunity. In addition, the latest study newly found that continuous intake reduces periodontal pockets (PESA) and mutans bacteria in the mouth.

As a new finding, it was shown that ingestion of chocolate containing L8020 bacteria may improve the condition of periodontal tissue.

The subjects of the test were 34 women in their 20s (mean age 20.8 ± 0.95 years). The group was divided into a chocolate intake group and a placebo group, and the oral environment was evaluated before, 2 weeks, and 4 weeks after the test. As a result, the total area of ​​periodontal pockets (PESA) was significantly reduced in the intake group compared with the placebo group.

Chocolate is a food that can be easily ingested, and continuous ingestion can be expected to help prevent oral diseases.

In addition, in a joint research with Dr. Kitagawa of the Oral Examination Center, it was found that ingestion of tablets containing L8020 lactic acid bacteria reduces mutans bacteria in the mouth.

Streptococcus mutans is abundant in plaque, and when it reacts with plaque on the surface of teeth, it undergoes lactic acid fermentation and causes dental caries. Streptococcus mutans decreases in proportion to the duration of tablet intake. It was also effective against mutans bacteria carrying the cnm gene that causes cerebral hemorrhage.
