How Much Xylitol Do I Need?

Studies Show You Need 6 Grams

A recent Swedish study* of xylitol found a total daily dose of 6 grams of xylitol, could dramatically reduce plaque and acids. In just four weeks, decay-causing bacteria were cut by more than a third.

The study recommends:

• Daily intake of xylitol as a supplement for patients at high risk for tooth decay
• Xylitol products that actively stimulate the secretion of saliva should be the first choice, such as chewing gum
• 6 grams of xylitol per day is needed to counteract the production of acid and thereby reduce the risk of cavities
• The daily intake should be distributed over at least three occasions
• The products should contain as much xylitol as possible and not be mixed with other sweeteners
