Xlear Introduces All Natural Green Tea Flavored Xylitol Gum

Spry Gum exclusively sweetened with all natural xylitol

OREM, Utah and ANAHEIM, Calif. (ExpoWest 2008) -  Xlear Inc., the leading manufacturer of xylitol products, today introduced Spry Green Tea Flavored Gum, an all natural gum sweetened exclusively with xylitol and made with natural green tea. Spry gum is part of the Spry Dental Defense System, which includes Spry Coolmint Toothpaste, Spry Coolmint Oral Rinse, Spry Tooth Gel, and Spry mints. Other Spry gum flavors include spearmint, peppermint, cinnamon and fresh fruit. 

Xylitol is a natural occurring sweetener found in fruit, vegetables and other natural sources. Unlike other sugars and sugar alcohols, xylitol cannot be digested by the bacteria (S. mutans) that cause plaque. As a result, xylitol-rich oral care products, such as Spry Green Tea Flavored Gum, have been shown to provide the following benefits:

• Reduce cavities by up to 80%;

• Inhibit the ability of cavity-causing, plaque-forming bacteria to adhere to teeth;

• Reverse early cavity formation;

• Reduce dental plaque formation; and

• Reduce gum tissue inflammation.

“Our Spry gum products are among the most popular xylitol gums on the market, and we are excited to be able to expand the product line with a great tasting, all natural green tea-flavored gum,” said Blaine Yates, chief executive officer of Xlear, Inc. “The benefits of chewing gum sweetened exclusively with xylitol have been validated many times over, and more and more dental professionals around the world are recommended our gum to their patients. We look forward to consumers’ reaction to our new gum, and are confident that it will become one of their favorites.”

A number of xylitol gum studies have found that bacteria levels in plaque decreased with increasing exposure to xylitol. To influence bacteria levels, many of the studies recommend using xylitol gum three to four times a day, particularly after snacks and meals.

Spry Green Tea Flavored Gum is made with a natural plant sourced gum base, and is exclusively sweetened with xylitol, which makes up more than 65 percent of the gums total weight. The manufacturer’s suggested retail price for Spry gum is $0.99 per 10-piece blister pack.
