Every time we talk about our ingredients, many of you have questions, especially about why we prefer micro-hydroxyapatite over the nano version. Let’s dive into that, as well as why we steer clear of fluoride and choose to formulate our products the way we do.
Many of you are familiar with fluoride—it’s been the go-to in oral health for strengthening and remineralizing teeth for years. You find it in most toothpaste, mouthwashes, and even in our water supply. But did you know that most of the fluoride used today is a synthetic version that has been linked to various health concerns including thyroid issues and cognitive dysfunction? That’s why we opt out of using fluoride and instead use something better: hydroxyapatite.
So, what is hydroxyapatite? It’s a naturally occurring mineral that does everything fluoride claims to do—like strengthening teeth and filling in microscopic cracks in enamel—but without the risks. It’s completely biocompatible, meaning it works harmoniously with your body.
As hydroxyapatite becomes more popular, we’re seeing more options on the market, which is great! But not all hydroxyapatite is created equal. There’s a debate between using nano-sized particles versus micro-sized. While nano-particles are smaller, they are synthetically made, and there are concerns about their safety as they can easily penetrate the body and potentially lead to cellular changes. That’s why we stick with micro-hydroxyapatite. It’s natural, just the right size to be effective without the risks, and it aligns with our commitment to keeping our products all-natural.
Our tooth powder not only helps in remineralizing enamel but also supports overall oral health with other natural ingredients like peppermint oil.
