Florida-based biopharmaceutical company Oragenics, Inc. (OTCBB: ORNI) (www.oragenics.com) announced today that its oral care probiotic EvoraPlus® (www.evoraplus.com) is now expected to be available at corporate-owned GNC stores nationwide. In addition, GNC has included Oragenics' oral care probiotic for children, EvoraKids™ (www.evorakids.com), in its concept stores and on GNC.com.

ProBiora3®, the active ingredient in Oragenics' probiotic products, naturally supports gum and tooth health while freshening breath and whitening teeth. ProBiora3 technology was developed by Oragenics' Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Jeffrey Hillman, D.M.D., Ph.D., during more than 25 years of research, which began at the Harvard-affiliated Forsyth Institute in Boston and continued at the University of Florida. This technology has only recently become available to the general public. ProBiora3 contains three strains of beneficial bacteria that help maintain a healthy microbial balance in the mouth. It is 100% natural and is made in the USA in an FDA-registered and GMP-certified facility.
