What Is SMMRT Science™?

SELECTIVE MICROBIAL METABOLISM REGULATION TECHNOLOGY 

Not all bacteria are villains!

Developed in 2012, SMMRT Science™ revolutionizes oral care. It uses a patented, innovative nutrient blend to redirect harmful bacteria – shifting them away from sugar and carbs and towards a protein-rich diet, much like a "Keto" approach for the mouth. This unique approach actively shapes the oral microbiome, fostering beneficial behaviors and by-products for superior dental health. The outcome? Fresher breath, reduced plaque and tartar, and healthier gums!

TEEF for Life fights the bacterial imbalance in your pet's mouth. Our patented formulas decrease inflammation and bad breath and improve your pet's quality of life.

VITAMIN

A prebiotic that empowers beneficial to eat/metabolize sugar-free based nutrients in your pet's diet, allowing them to survive and out-compete bad bacteria. 

All of our Protektin™ formulations contain the above 3 ingredients, with sodium bicarbonate added to our dog formulation, and a Chlorella derivative added to our cat formula. The All Pet formula (P42K) contains only these core 3 ingredients.

We named Protektin™ with numbers to reflect our mission to promote protecting all teeth in a dog’s (42) and cat's (30) mouth throughout their lifetime.

MORE NERDY STUFF.
In the below 30 day challenge with Animal Biome, you can observe the decrease in a key disease-causing bacteria (Porphyromonas) from 22% to 4% burden in Dean's saliva. In addition, the gum inflammation calmed down significantly... we heard that his breath got much better too. :)
