• Organic Xylitol – Derived from natural sources like birch trees and corn, xylitol is a sugar alcohol known for its ability to prevent tooth decay. As noted in our review of Cavityn (another supplement containing this ingredient), Xylitol helps protect tooth enamel from erosion and promotes the remineralization of enamel.

Also, a study by Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Medicine concludes that xylitol reduces harmful bacteria in the mouth by disrupting their energy production. Xylitol does this by preventing the growth of cavity-causing bacteria like Streptococcus mutans.[1]

Dr. Kate Roberts, a leading dentist, notes,

                        Xylitol’s natural properties make it an excellent addition to oral care, especially in preventing tooth decay.

• BioFresh™ Clean Complex – This proprietary blend by Novozymes One Health is designed to maintain a clean and vibrant oral environment.[2]

While the specific ingredients in BioFresh™ remain proprietary, blends like this often include a combination of essential oils, herbal extracts, and antibacterial agents that work together to reduce harmful bacteria and freshen breath. These natural compounds help prevent plaque buildup, keeping the mouth in a healthy state.

Dr. Ryan Caldwell, an oral health researcher, highlights,

                      Proprietary blends like BioFresh™ take a holistic approach, ensuring long-lasting freshness and hygiene without harsh chemicals.

• Cranberry Extract – Cranberry extract is widely known for its role in preventing bacterial adhesion, which is particularly useful in oral health.

Cranberries contain proanthocyanidins, which inhibit harmful bacteria from sticking to the teeth and gums, thereby reducing plaque and the risk of gum disease. Cranberry extract is a powerful ingredient in oral care because of its ability to disrupt bacterial growth naturally.

A study published by the Indian Society Periodontology details how cranberry extract can prevent oral infections.[3]

Dr. Tan Poh Kok, a Senior Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist, says,

                     I think cranberry extract plays a key role in promoting oral health by reducing harmful bacteria. The active compounds, especially proanthocyanidins, can help prevent bacteria from sticking to the teeth and gums, reducing plaque buildup and the risk of gum disease.

• Purple Carrot Powder – Purple carrots are packed with anthocyanins, which have been studied for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. These compounds play a vital role in supporting gum health and reducing inflammation.

Review from the MDPI Pharmaceuticals Journal shows that anthocyanins found in purple carrots can neutralize free radicals and support oral tissue health.[4]

Dr. Michael Hughes, a nutrition and dental health expert, remarks,

                    Anthocyanins not only promote healthy gums but also help fight oxidative stress, which is essential for maintaining oral wellness.

• Strains of Probiotics – Probiotics are essential for maintaining a balanced oral microbiome. ProvaDent includes four strains of probiotics that promote the growth of healthy bacteria, which can outcompete harmful bacteria like those responsible for bad breath, plaque, and gum disease.

Our review on GumAktiv (another oral health product big on probiotics) highlights the role of probiotics like Lactobacillus reuteri in reducing oral inflammation and enhancing the health of the teeth and gums.

Also, a review from the MDPI Pharmaceuticals Journal highlights how probiotic strains can improve oral health by reducing harmful bacteria and inflammation in the gums.[5]

Dr. Nina Thornton, an expert in oral microbiology, explains,

                  Probiotics are key to maintaining a balanced oral environment, where good bacteria thrive and prevent harmful bacteria from taking hold
