Company

SynbiOFF LRh, a heat-killed L. rhamnosus strain, targets oral dysbiosis to support gum health. It disrupts pathogenic biofilms, reduces inflammation, and enhances microbial balance, making it ideal for oral care products.

Overview

SynbiOFF LRh is an innovative oral microbiome modulator designed to promote gum health by addressing oral dysbiosis—a key factor in gingivitis. Utilizing a heat-killed strain of L. rhamnosus, SynbiOFF LRh effectively co-aggregates with harmful microorganisms such as C. albicans, reducing their adhesion to oral surfaces and disrupting pathogenic biofilm formation. This process is crucial for preventing gingival inflammation. Additionally, SynbiOFF LRh exhibits anti-inflammatory properties by lowering pro-inflammatory cytokines, offering a microbiome-friendly solution for daily oral care through products like toothpaste and mouthwash.

Technical specifications
  • Microbial Modulation: Co-aggregates with C. albicans to prevent adhesion and biofilm formation.
  • Anti-inflammatory Action: Reduces TNF-α levels, thereby directly influencing inflammatory pathways associated with gingivitis.
  • Prebiotic-like Effect: Supports beneficial microbial growth, enhancing oral microbiome balance.
  • Application Formats: Suitable for incorporation in toothpaste, mouthwash, and topical gel.
  • Clinical Validation Plans: Includes formulation, preclinical stability testing, and a controlled clinical trial targeting gingivitis management.
Technology readiness level

SynbiOFF LRh is at TRL 4, having demonstrated functionality through laboratory validation. Plans for further clinical validation are underway, with upcoming trials aimed at confirming efficacy in gingivitis management.
