Lactobacillus salivarius has been used as a supplement in functional foods and probiotic drinks in Asia. L. salivarius was originally isolated from the intestinal tract of humans, and it can also be found in dairy products and vegetable matter. It produces lactic acid and bacteriocins, and has moderate lactase activity.
Lactobacillus salivarius found in the mouth and small intestine, has been shown to improve bleeding gums, tooth decay, bad breath, thrush and canker sores. L. salivarius breaks down proteins and produces B vitamins, enzymes and lactic acid. Its strong antimicrobial effects have been demonstrated clinically.
