**Low pile bristles sweep away VSC's**

Not much context. This is one of the list stating the benefits of using "tongue brush".
I am not familiar with this acronym. Do you? What this stands for?

Thank you in advance.

Explanation:
From: http://72.14.203.104/search?q=cache:8GcL2gEe0a4J:www.aesthet...
Halitosis is defined as offensive odors emitting from the mouth. About 40 million Americans suffer from chronic oral malodor. Oral malodor is caused in over 90% of patients by retained foods, which are high in sulfur containing amino acids (i.e. meat and fish). Odors from volatile sulfur compounds (VSC's) are produced through a putrefactive action of microorganisms on tissue.

Halitosis, or bad breath, is caused by anaerobic bacteria that breed on the back of the tongue, producing volatile sulfur compounds. 口臭は舌下に繁殖する嫌気性細菌に起因するものであり、揮発性の硫黄化合物を産生する。
