Nature’s Choice Xylitol, 200g

In the study, scientists grew samples of P. gingivalis in a laboratory and added them to human cell cultures pretreated with xylitol. They saw that xylitol increased the production of immune system proteins and inhibited the growth of the bacteria.

[…]The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have approved xylitol as a food additive. Xylitol is generally safe, but like other sugar alcohols, it can cause digestive issues such as bloating and diarrhea in some people.

It is worth noting that xylitol can be very toxic to dogs. It is vital to store products containing xylitol in a safe place that pets cannot reach. Anyone who thinks that their dog has consumed xylitol should call their veterinarian immediately.

[…]The suitable dosage of xylitol can vary from person to person. A 2016 review found that adults can safely tolerate between 10 grams (g) and 30 g of xylitol per day, which they usually divide into several smaller doses. After the body adapts to xylitol, adults can consume up to 70 g per day without side effects.

Studies in children have used doses of up to 45 g of xylitol daily. Some research suggests that consuming around 5–6 g of xylitol per day may help reduce plaque-causing bacteria in the mouth.

However, the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry say that more research is necessary before recommending xylitol to improve dental health in children.
