Xylitol is a C5 sugar alcohol, which typically presents as a white crystalline solid or a colourless liquid. Xylitol is approved as a food additive in the European Union, India, China, the United States, Indonesia, and in over 100 countries around the globe. 

​

Xylitol has a glycemic index of 7 - compared to 65 for sucrose and 100 for glucose - and is as sweet as sugar. In addition, whereas sugar can cause significant damage to teeth and gums over time, xylitol is excellent for your teeth, and is key to preventing damage to your teeth. 

​

Xylitol is an ideal sweetener for diabetics, an ideal additive for any pharmaceutical product that can be applied to the teeth or gums, and an ideal ingredient for any gum, mint, toothpaste, mouthwash or ingestible medicine.
