Spry Xlear

Clincal studies have shown the health benefits of xylitol, a naturally occuring sweetener, from improving oral health to maintaining upper respiratory health.  Xlear call themselves The Xylitol Experts and are recognised as one of the leading manufacturers of xylitol products.

Xlear was founded in the U.S. in 2000 with their first product available, the patented Xlear Nasal Spray, which safely keeps the nasal passages and sinuses moist and clean and enhances antimicrobial defence.   Since then, as xylitol has been shown to reduce the risk of tooth decay by up to 80% by reducing plaque and bacterial plaque acids, Xlear has added more to their range of Xylitol-based products with the Spry Dental Defense System, SparX Candy range and XyloSweet Sweetener. 

To be effective at reducing the chance of tooth decay you need to have more than 5 grams of Xylitol throughout the day and the Spry Dental Defense System recommends you fit this into your daily routine by:

• Using Spry toothpaste in the morning
• Chewing two pieces of Spry chewing gum or sucking Spry (or SparX) mints after meals
• Brushing with Spry toothpaste and using Spry mouthwash before bed.

Use of XyloSweet Sweetener by gradually introducing it as a sugar substitute is another simple way of adding xylitol exposures during the day.
