Xlear Introduces 30-Count Spry Chewing Gum
Sweetened With Xylitol, Spry Chewing Gum Provides Dental Health Benefits; Encourages Good Oral Health Habits
| Source: Xlear, Inc.
OREM, UT--(Marketwire - July 28, 2009) - Xlear, Inc., a leading manufacturer of xylitol products, today
introduced its new 30-count, sugar-free Spry Chewing
Gum. Xlear's xylitol-rich gum provides dental health benefits by
preventing acid production from oral bacteria and by significantly reducing
the ability of bacteria to adhere to the tissues in the mouth.
Furthermore, studies have shown that xylitol moisturizing effects help to
create a better oral environment and to increase mineral absorption back
into the enamel of the teeth. Spry Chewing Gum is 100 percent sugar-free,
and is a non-GMO, gluten-free product that is recommended by dental health
experts around the world.
Spry Chewing gum is available in several breath-freshening flavors,
including spearmint, peppermint, fresh fruit, cinnamon and green tea. Spry
gum is part of the Spry Dental
Defense System®, a family of oral health care products that are
sweetened with xylitol, a naturally occurring sweetener found in fruit,
vegetables and other natural sources. Unlike other sugars and sugar
alcohols, xylitol cannot be digested by the bacteria (Strep. mutans), and
as a result, helps reduce the risks of tooth decay.
"Simply stated, oral care products, such as our Spry gum, which contain
high levels of xylitol are good for your teeth," said Blaine Yates,
president and chief executive officer of Xlear, Inc. "Since the best
dental results are achieved by using xylitol-rich products throughout the
day and especially following snacks, our new packaging makes it easier for
our customers to carry more Spry gum and continually encourage good oral
health habits for their families in a healthy, fun and satisfying way."
Over 25 years of clinical testing confirm that xylitol is the best
sweetener for teeth. Numerous field studies conducted throughout the world
have led to official endorsements by dental associations in Finland,
Norway, Sweden, England, Ireland, Estonia and the Netherlands of products
containing high levels of the sweetener. In addition, in 2008, the Arizona
State Dental Hygienists' Association became the first American dental or
dental hygienist organization to endorse the preventive and therapeutic
benefits of xylitol.
