Anyone try it??? It's for people with too much good bacteeria in mouth that causes the sulfer smell...

Might be worth a try???

It is not the good bacteria that causes a smell, it is the anaerobic bacteria that reside in our mouths (specifically on our tongues). They produce VSCs or Volatile Sulfur Compounds which escape from the mouth and cause bad breath in those whose bad breath is orally related. But this is only 1 possibility of orally related bad breath. Gum disease, wisdom teeth, tonsils, tooth infection can all be possibilities too.

But yeah, i've heard about this mouthwash and I've heard it works for some people whose bad breath is orally related. I would for sure try it if you have not ruled out your mouth as being the cause of your bad breath.
