Xylitol Peppermint Mints by BioGenesis are a nutritionally beneficial way to improve breath quality and enjoy a candy-like treat. A number of healthy, natural extracts make the ingredient list, along with the featured ingredient known as "xylitol."
What Is Xylitol?
Xylitol is a naturally occurring sugar-alcohol that is extracted from such plant products as berries, mushrooms, oat grains, sugar cane, corn husks, corn cobs, and various hardwoods. It is then used as a alternative sweetener, which is about equal in sweetness to table sugar and yet has a third less calories. Xylitol is also thought to reduce the risk of cavities, compared to other sweeteners, and to help remineralize your deep-layer enamel.
What Is In Xylitol Peppermint Mints?
Besides xylitol and peppermint, Xylitol Peppermint Mints by BioGenesis contain other healthy ingredients, including beeswax, camaubawax, jum arabic, magnesium stearate, and calcium carbonate. Each serving (two pieces) contains only 2.6 calories and 1.1 grams of xylitol. BioGenesis recommends use of this product following all meals and snacks.
