Orapharm 'Oratics Kids'

[Asia Economy Reporter Chunhee Lee] Orapharm announced on the 28th that it will launch 'Oratics Kids,' an oral and gut probiotic for children aged 3 to 12.

Oratics Kids is an all-in-one probiotic containing both oral and gut probiotics necessary for growing children. Each Oratics Kids tablet contains a total of 10 billion probiotics, including 5 billion oral probiotics oraCMU and oraCMS1, which have been proven to inhibit harmful bacteria in the mouth, and 5 billion Lactobacillus gut probiotics. Additionally, zinc, an essential mineral that helps improve immunity but is not produced in the body, has been added.

Oral probiotics are live microorganisms, and to establish them in the mouth, it is recommended to dissolve them like candy after brushing teeth before bedtime. They do not contain sugars that can cause cavities and suppress and eliminate the growth of harmful bacteria while sleeping, promoting the proliferation of beneficial bacteria to maintain a healthy oral bacterial balance. The Lactobacillus gut probiotics, which have excellent inhibitory effects on harmful bacteria and acid resistance, use microencapsulation technology to survive until reaching the intestines.

In particular, oraCMU and oraCMS1 contained in Oratics Kids are native oral probiotics derived from the mouths of Korean children. From 460 Korean children with healthy oral conditions, 1,640 strains were isolated, and among them, strains with outstanding safety, oral colonization ability, and inhibitory effects on harmful bacteria were selected and isolated.

According to a human application test jointly conducted by Orapharm and Kangwon National University, the test group that consumed oraCMU showed a 47.8% reduction in gum bleeding index compared to the control group, and Fusobacterium nucleatum, which causes periodontal disease and bad breath, decreased by 79.6%.
