Clean and brighten your teeth like never before with the first Microhydrin®-charged tooth powder. Thousands of people have brushed their teeth with Microhydrin. However they had to break open a capsule, pour out a portion and then attempt to reclose the capsule. They did this because of the fantastic results they received. Now, with MicroBrite, you’ll never have to do that again. This antioxidant powder contains a unique blend of ingredients that clean and refresh your mouth, giving you whiter teeth and healthier gums. Three of the most beneficial ingredients are Microhydrin, Xylitol and Aloe Vera. Microhydrin is a known antioxidant that reduces surface tension for a better clean.

It lowers surface tension, inhibits plaque and neutralizes mouth acids. Aloe has been proven beneficial for skin and gum tissue. 
The following is an excerpt from Health & Healing, November 1998, Volume 8, No. 11 Xylitol is a naturally occurring carbohydrate derived from birch trees. It looks like sugar and it tastes like sugar-but the similarities end there. Unlike sugar, xylitol is slowly and only partially absorbed by the body, making it an excellent sweetener for diabetics. A number of long-term studies have also shown that xylitol administered on a regular basis reduces the formation of new caries, halts and even reverses the progression of early decay, and provides continued protection for months to years after use. Xylitol does this by inhibiting the growth of S. mutans, which is unable to metabolize it for energy. Xylitol also raises the pH of the mouth, making it less hospitable to S. mutans, and over time, these microorganisms are crowded out by harmless bacteria. Xylitol also reduces periodontal disease. In a 1996 studied carried out at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Dayton, Ohio; patients were given gum or small candies sweetened with xylitol after meals and sugary snacks. After an average of 1.8 years, patients had significantly fewer caries at the roots of the teeth and improved gum health. |
