Physiological effects
- Xylitol is a naturally occurring sweetener found in the fibres of many berries and fruits. Xylitol is also produced by the human body as an intermediate in the normal metabolism of glucose.
- Xylitol is one of the sugar alcohols and it is a tooth-friendly sweetener with 40 % fewer calories than normal sugar.
- In skin, xylitol has been reported to improve barrier function and suppress the growth of potential skin pathogens. Xylitol also improves mucous membrane function; especially in the oropharynx 1.
- Xylitol inhibits the growth of cariogenic bacteria, inhibits plaque growth and promotes remineralization by actually hardening an already existing caries lesion.
- Tasty Xylitop® xylitol tablets promote tooth health when taken between meals. The best results can be obtained when the tablets are chewed. Tablets are suitable for daily use.
