BLIS Technologies

BLIS K12 ™ is a specific strain of bacteria called Streptococcus salivarius K12™, which is found naturally in your mouth and throat. Our scientists discovered that while everyone has Streptococcus salivarius bacteria, only a very few have the specific beneficial BLIS K12™ strain which is active against bad bacteria.

Professor Tagg extensively catalogued a collection of more than 2000 of these bacteria strains over a period of more than 30 years.  Those bacteria were then acquired by Blis Technologies with the first product – ThroatGuard – launched in 2002.
