Pharmaceutical-grade Granulated Xylitol, Cosmos

Description

Studies using xylitol as a sugar substitute or a small addition to the diet have shown a dramatic reduction in new tooth decay, together with the arrest and even some reversal of existing decay. This benefit is lasting and possibly permanent. Low rates of decay persist even years after the trials have ended.

Xylitol is not an artificial substance, but a normal part of daily metabolism, widely distributed in nature in small quantities. The amount needed to prevent tooth decay (less than 15 grams per day) is beneficial and safe for everyone. The World Health Organization has given xylitol its safest rating for food additives. It can conveniently be delivered to teeth through chewing gum, tablets or even sweets, so there is no need to change your normal routine to take it.

One of xylitol's best features is its great taste! It tastes so good that using it becomes automatic, for adults and children alike.

Health benefits of xylitol: a sweet alternative.
Although xylitol tastes and looks exactly like sugar, the similarities end there. Xylitol is like sugar, except that it brings health benefits. While excess sugar damages the body, xylitol heals and repairs. It also builds immunity, protects against chronic diseases and offers anti-ageing benefits.
Research also suggests significant health benefits from xylitol as a nasal spray. When infectious germs attach to mucous membranes and nasal tissues, they can cause infections and illness. Adding xylitol to saline nasal spray makes it easier for our natural defences to remove them.
Because xylitol reduces the germs, pollutants and irritants that adhere to tissue, regular use of the nasal spray results in fewer respiratory infections and easier breathing. Xylitol also lowers the salt concentration in airway surface fluid, helping our own antibiotic substances work more effectively.
The use of xylitol has been cited in a European patent for treating intraocular pressure, a condition that can develop into glaucoma, a serious disease that damages the optic nerve. Use of a topical solution containing xylitol has been reported to result in lower intraocular pressure.
The bacteria that cause periodontal disease live and multiply beneath the gums of healthy individuals; most people do not know they have this problem. One of the first signs of periodontal disease is bleeding when brushing. People with this problem lose their teeth early because the gums that help hold them in place become weaker and less effective with this infection. But that is only part of the problem. Bacteria beneath the gums have easy access to the body's circulation and are one of the main causes of inflammation leading to heart attacks. Some doctors prescribe it to prevent heart attacks and encourage regular use to help prevent these problems.
Chronic wounds caused by poor circulation associated with diabetes or vascular disease commonly lead to limb amputation. Some doctors using xylitol in wound dressings have been able to heal significantly more wounds than with other methods. This is because xylitol can interfere with the adhesion of bacteria that infect these wounds. It has this effect on a wide range of bacteria, in addition to those already mentioned that cause tooth decay and upper respiratory tract infections.
