Lozenges with xylitol, arginine, zinc, and inulin for oral health
An innovative oral health lozenge that combines Xylitol, Arginine, Zinc, and Inulin to improve gum health. It ensures prolonged contact with the oral cavity, supporting saliva flow, reducing harmful bacteria, and enhancing the oral microbiome.
Overview
This solution offers a novel oral health lozenge designed to improve gum health by delivering active ingredients such as Xylitol, Arginine, Zinc, and Inulin directly to the oral cavity over an extended period. The lozenge format is particularly effective because it dissolves slowly, maximizing mucosal exposure time and enabling sustained delivery to the saliva, teeth, and gingival tissues. This approach supports the growth of beneficial oral microbes while reducing bad breath, supporting saliva flow in cases of dry mouth, and aiding in enamel remineralization.
Technical specifications
