Xylitol 1000mg mint flavoured - 100 chewable tablets
Xylitol is an excellent contribution to the daily dental care
In Finland, xylitol is part of the dental care ever since the end of the 20th century. Tablets of xylitol are given to schoolchildren after every meal for caries prevention. The success speaks for itself, because caries in children could be reduced by 80%.
Xylitol is a natural substance, which occurs in foods such as strawberries, raspberries, cauliflower and lettuce. The chewable tablets have the sweetness of common sugar, but 40% less calories. They don’t have any effect on the blood sugar level, because the metabolism of xylitol is insulin independent. One tablet has a calorific value of only 3.3 kcal.
How does xylitol work?
Scientific studies prove that xylitol acts easy, effective and long-term. Up to today, more than approx. 300 international studies on the effect of xylitol have been conducted.
Xylitol is able to inhibit the growth of the bacteria Streptococcus mutans, which is responsible for caries. Streptococcus mutans is not able to metabolise xylitol and starves to death.
Xylitol also promotes the salivation. Saliva contains calcium phosphate, which is responsible for the formation and the hardening of the dental enamel. Xylitol supports the remineralisation of the tooth surface as well.
How to use xylitol
In order to be effective, the natural substance should be used after every meal. While you are eating, bacteria in our mouth generate acid from sugar or carbohydrate left overs, which damages the tooth enamel. It lasts up to 45 minutes until the saliva neutralises this acid. During this time, caries can develop. Xylitol is able to regulate and inhibit the acid formation.
The xylitol tablets should stay three to five minutes in the mouth to be fully effective. They have a pleasantly cooling effect, which is positively perceived by the users.
