Xylitol-infused gum, toothpaste, and oral rinses stimulate natural saliva production, providing effective and lasting relief from dry mouth symptoms.
Diabetic-Friendly
With a low glycemic index (GI = 12), Xylitol does not cause significant blood sugar spikes, making it a safe and smart sweetening solution for people with diabetes.
Reduces Middle Ear Infections in Children
Regular consumption of Xylitol—through gum, lozenges, or syrup—has been clinically shown to reduce the incidence of acute otitis media in children.
Sinusitis Symptom Relief
Nasal irrigation with a Xylitol solution offers better symptom improvement for chronic sinusitis compared to traditional saline solutions.
