FAQ

What is xylitol?

Xylitol is a natural sweetener found in plants, including fruits and vegetables. It's often used as a sugar substitute because it has fewer calories and a lower glycaemic index than regular sugar, making it popular in sugar-free gum, candies, and other products. Plus, it’s good for dental health, as it helps reduce the risk of cavities.

Benefits of xylitol:

100% natural
Low calorie
Gluten-free
Actively reduces the bacteria in your mouth
Low glycaemic index, so diabetes-friendly
Helps if you suffer from dry mouth
Great for your teeth
Reduces plaque and tartar build-up
Family-friendly

How is xylitol good for your teeth?

Tooth decay starts with harmful bacteria in your mouth.

Sugary foods give these bacteria energy to multiply and produce acids that dissolve your tooth enamel and cause decay. Xylitol has the opposite effect, inhibiting their growth, killing the bacteria and preventing acid attacks.

It also reduces the bacteria’s ability to stick to your teeth, so plaque is easier to remove.

How much xylitol do you need?

Dentists recommend you should have at least 5g of xylitol a day.

Each Peppersmith mint contains 0.55g of xylitol (13.8g per pack) and each piece of gum contains just over 1g (11g per pack) so you need about nine mints or five pieces of gum per day.

Importantly, this should be split into a few servings, ideally after each meal or snack (when there's risk of an acid attack). You should also try and keep the mint or gum in your mouth for at least a minute so the xylitol has enough time in contact with your teeth.

Why is Peppersmith gum better than sugar-free gum?

Sugar-free gum helps promote saliva, which helps neutralise your mouth's pH. This is important because every time you eat and drink, the bacteria in your mouth feed on sugars and produce acids, leading to decay.

Peppersmith gum is 100% xylitol, which actively reduces the bacteria that cause these acids in the first place, helping to prevent problems before they start.

Some sugar-free gum does contain xylitol, but usually in very small amounts. You need to have 5g of xylitol a day to get the dental benefits. To put that in perspective, you’d only need five pieces of Peppersmith gum per day, but you’d need multiple packs of regular sugar-free gum as it contains lower levels of xylitol.

Peppersmith gum is approved by the Oral Health Foundation.

Does xylitol have laxative effects?

Xylitol is a sugar alternative that, like other polyols, may cause a laxative effect if consumed excessively.

Fortunately, 25% to 50% of xylitol is absorbed in your intestine, making it more tolerable than some other substitutes. But what counts as excessive varies for each person. Research suggests adults can tolerate up to 70g and kids up to 40g. For context, a whole pack of Peppersmith mints contains 13.8g of xylitol, which most people can easily tolerate.

As with all foods, moderation is key. You get dental benefits from just 5g of xylitol a day, so there's no need to overconsume. It's best to have a few mints or pieces of gum throughout the day. If you have food sensitivities, start with smaller amounts of xylitol and gradually increase as your tolerance builds.
