Lactobacillus salivarius: Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Benefits
Lactobacillus salivarius helps regulate inflammation and oxidative stress by modulating cytokine activity—key signalling proteins involved in immune function. Its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties may offer protection against inflammatory conditions, while also supporting immune balance and cellular health at both the gut and systemic levels.¹
Can Lactobacillus salivarius Support Oral Health?
Supplementation with Lactobacillus salivarius has demonstrated significant reductions in the 12-month incidence and progression of early childhood caries, evidenced by fewer new decayed, missing, or filled primary teeth. Additionally, this probiotic supports oral health by lowering mutans streptococci levels and enhancing salivary buffering capacity, both of which are critical in preventing dental caries and promoting oral resilience.²
Lactobacillus salivarius and Gut Health
By adhering to the intestinal mucosa, Lactobacillus salivarius supports digestive health through the production of lactic acid and bacteriocins that inhibit pathogenic bacteria and help maintain a balanced gut microbiota. Additionally, it may enhance nutrient absorption by stimulating enzymes involved in carbohydrate digestion and strengthening the mucosal barrier, potentially increasing the surface area for more efficient nutrient uptake.³
