Gummies Packed With Beneficial Bacteria Can Reduce Gum Bleeding in Just 6 Weeks, Trial Finds
Reported byScienceAlert ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
A 116-participant Japanese trial over 6 weeks found that gummies with heat-killed Lactiplantibacillus pentosus bacteria reduced Bleeding On Probing (a standard measure of inflamed gums) in people with mild gingivitis, offering a practical delivery method for supporting gum health.
Trial is early-stage and conducted in normal daily conditions without additional oral hygiene instructions; consensus on the best approach to microbiota-based periodontal management remains incomplete.
