Evena™ Health Puts Oral Microbiome Support in the Spotlight with OraCMU™

As consumers become more aware of the connection between the oral microbiome and everyday oral health, probiotics are creating new opportunities for brands to go beyond traditional approaches to fresh breath. Evena Health’s Nightly Oral Probiotic puts that science into practice with a once-daily formula featuring OraCMU™ (Weissella cibaria CMU).

Designed as the final step in a nighttime oral-care routine, Evena combines four targeted probiotic strains with prebiotic and functional ingredients to support a balanced oral microbiome, fresher morning breath, gum health and overall oral comfort.

Why OraCMU™?

Bad breath is often linked to oral bacteria that produce volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs). OraCMU™ takes a targeted approach by helping reduce the production of these odor-causing compounds while supporting a healthier oral microbial environment.

One of the characteristics that makes the OraCMU™ strain particularly interesting is its natural ability to produce hydrogen peroxide, which contributes to its activity against undesirable oral bacteria. Human clinical research has demonstrated benefits for reducing VSCs, supporting fresher breath and promoting gingival health.

That same science also extends into the growing pet oral-health category through OraCMU™ Pet. Two canine clinical studies have demonstrated the ingredient’s ability to reduce VSCs and support fresher breath, with additional benefits for plaque and gum health. At a daily dose of 2 billion CFU (20 mg) for dogs, OraCMU™ Pet gives formulators a clinically studied option for addressing pet oral health from the microbiome outward.

Oral Health Innovation Starts with Better Ingredients

Evena’s use of OraCMU™ demonstrates how targeted probiotics can become part of an everyday oral-health routine. Rather than simply masking unwanted breath, the formula takes a microbiome-focused approach designed to influence the oral environment itself.

For Stratum Nutrition, it also highlights the versatility of the science behind OraCMU™. From innovative human products like Evena's to pet-focused applications including chews, foods, powders and treats, OraCMU™ offers brands an opportunity to bring targeted, science-backed oral microbiome support to a rapidly evolving category.

As consumers and pet owners continue looking for more sophisticated approaches to oral wellness, OraCMU™ shows how probiotic science can help brands rethink what fresh breath and a healthier oral environment can look like.
