Dental Gel
Speaking of controversy, why are you using sorbitol? I've heard some negative things about it. - Sorbitol is an all-natural derivative of fruits and berries. It is considered to be a sugar, similar to glycerin, and in cosmetic and personal care formulations it often is used instead of glycerin. Sorbitol has also been used as a sweetener in place of sugar (sucrose) in diabetic/dietetic foods. Sorbitol is also used medicinally in intravenous solution to regulate the water balance in the body. While sorbitol can potentially cause diarrhea when consumed in large quantities (20 grams or more, or about one heaping tablespoon), this is not likely to happen while brushing one's teeth. A search of the FDAs toxicology databank turned up no reports of toxicity whatsoever. What benefits does your Dental Gel offer that other natural toothpastes don't? - NutriBiotic Dental Gel offers the benefits of Grapefruit Seed Extract and the health enhancing action of vitamins C & E. The action of these ingredients stimulates production of healthy mouth tissue and "fights the germs that cause bad breath" without alcohol or other harmful ingredients. Dental Gel is even recommended for use after oral surgery due to its superior germ-fighting action. Is the Dental Gel safe for children to use? - Yes. Since there is no fluoride, there is no possibility of toxicity due to swallowing the gel. What exactly is Golden Peppermint flavor? - It's a description for the Lemon-Mint flavor of the product. |
