Age, weight, and activity levels all have an effect on our bones and joints. Structural health plays an ongoing role in mobility and daily activity. It is continually important to support our bone mineral density and joint comfort – whether for daily activities, or an active lifestyle.

The mouth is a constant battleground where, on a daily basis, billions of invasive bacteria attempt to displace the native and generally beneficial bacteria of the mouth, teeth and gums. Common problems people often experience in their oral cavity, such as dental cavities, bad breath or gum disease, is a result of imbalanced oral bacteria.

The mouth is an entry point for pathogens as it comes into contact with billions of bacteria. If a healthy balance of oral bacteria is thrown off by stress, exposure to disease or antibiotics, it can quickly lead to problems such as upper respiratory, throat and ear infections. The microorganisms in our mouth are a first line of defense against pathogens and an important part of maintaining healthy oral bacteria.
