Xylitol benefits everyone, especially those who need an easier way to clean and care for teeth.

Xylitol can be a wonderful tool for special needs children and adults, especially those unable to clean their teeth with a toothbrush. Toddlers, teens, adults and seniors can all enjoy xylitol’s benefits by nibbling a few Zellie's Mints or Gum every day.

Zellie's are a wonderful way to fresher breath, cleaner teeth.

Zellie’s is committed to offering the purest and best tasting xylitol oral care products.

• Lots of xylitol per serving (2 g) = high efficiency
• Delicious, bold, longer-lasting flavors
• No glycerin
• No soy lecithin (we use sunflower lecithin in our gum)

Like chocolate, avocados and onions, xylitol is an ingredient that is safe for humans but not recommended for pets. Please keep Zellie’s out of your pet’s reach. For more information on xylitol and pets, please see our blog on this topic.

Zellie’s delicious products provide specific amounts of xylitol. Our gum contains 1 gram of xylitol and each mint contains 0.5 grams of xylitol. Studies recommend 5 exposures of xylitol each day and 6-10 grams total daily.

Try our Zellie’s selection and find what flavor you like best.

Zellie’s are designed by a dentist and crafted specifically with oral health in mind. We have chosen to leave out ingredients that we feel could impede the improvement for oral health. We have loaded each piece of gum and each mint with as much xylitol as possible as this is the specific ingredient that has been shown to improve oral health. 

Xylitol is a naturally occurring sweetener found in the fibers of many fruits and vegetables, including, but not limited to: various berries, corn husks, oats, and mushrooms. The Finnish name for it is koivusokeri, or birch sugar, and it was first produced in Scandinavia from xylan, a sugar found in the wood fibers of birch trees. Xylitol is a five-carbon sugar alcohol that occurs naturally in plants. Xylitol is also naturally found in our bodies. We produce up to 15 grams of xylitol from other food sources using established energy pathways. Xylitol is delicious and can be your own special tool for oral health. Best of all, it can help everyone improve the health of their teeth. A few grams of xylitol eaten regularly after meals and snacks is all you need to start seeing improvements. Xylitol creates the ideal conditions for improved oral health.

The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has authorized xylitol as a food additive.

Please consult with your doctor if you are unsure if xylitol is suitable for you.

Xylitol should not be given to pets, particularly dogs. If your pet consumes xylitol, consult a veterinarian.
