Australian Breath Clinic Probiotic Culture Test
Bad breath is the waste product from billions of bacteria that live in biofilms in our mouth and throat. The bacteria live specifically on our tongue, in plaque on our teeth, between the gums, and in the back of the throat. These bad breath bacteria grow very quickly when the mouth becomes a hostile environment.

This often happens when we consume acids or proteins such as coffee, soft drink sports drinks or dairy products. Or if we have chronic problems such as nasal mucous dry mouth we encourage the growth of bad breath bacteria.

Bad Breath Bacteria make smells called VSC's

Fresh Breath Bacteria do not make VSC's

Did you know it is estimated that 30% of the population have an ongoing bad breath or halitosis problem. One study even showed that 50% of middle aged people have offensive breath. That's correct, the older you get the more the bad breath will increase. This is simply a result of the decreased saliva flow that happens as you age. Saliva is a crucial aspect of a healthy mouth and also fresh breath.

KForce Bad Breath Experiment
Here is an interesting experiment we do at Dr Speiser's Australian Breath Clinic to show how efficient our KForce Probiotics are at stopping the bacteria that cause bad breath.

The top yellow streak are bad breath bacteria scraped from mouth biofilm and grown in a blood agar plate.

The bottom white streak are KForce bacteria grown on the same blood agar plate.

This experiment takes place in the middle of the agar plate. We have placed a streak of KForce Probiotic bacteria, and then immediately placed a streak of the bad breath bacteria over the top of the KForce. As you can see, the KForce is able to completely control the bad breath bacteria with none surviving, and in the end only the KForce Probiotic is present.

Real Life Situations
Of course the above experiment is done in a laboratory environment (in vitro) at our clinic. In real life many factors also come in to play that can affect how efficient our KForce Probiotics are. Therefore the Australian Breath Clinic conducted a live trial in 2004 with KForce Breath Guard, and is just completing another live trial with the new KForce Balance System. The results for both systems are identical.

• Patients reported an instant clean taste in their mouth immediately on using the KForce Breath Guard Program and the KForce Balance System.
• Patients reported less phlegm with consistent use of the Saline Nasal Flush. Some reported removal of the "lump in the throat" feeling.
• Patients reported fresh breath that could last the whole day. This meant there was less need for supporting aids such as chewing gum. However we still recommend Xylitol gum during the day to increase saliva flow.
• Patients reported less "morning breath" when they used the system as directed just before going to sleep.

Our results are now extremely predictable with a high rate of success in preventing and treating cases of bad breath.
