Gutology Fluoride Free Hydroxyapatite Probiotic Mint Toothpaste
Gutology Fluoride Free Hydroxyapatite Probiotic Mint Toothpaste
HOLD UP! A plastic toothpaste tube? We know, it's not ideal but what is pretty ideal are the ingredients to this toothpaste. Stick around and we'll explain why we're stocking Gutology.
Did you know 90% of natural toothpastes don't stop decay? As a brand we weren't happy with that so we have sourced amazing natural toothpastes which DO stop decay, Gutology uses a coconut based foaming agent which does not strip your oral microbiome called glycolipid, and it contains lactobacillus to help support your oral and gut microbiomes.
Fluoride vs mineral vs (drumroll) Hydroxyapatite:
- The aim of any of these ingredients is to remineralise your saliva which helps protect your teeth, like a reinforcement. However, fluoride comes with a set of nasty side effects like messing with your brain and fertility. (read our blog here for more info)
- Hydroxyapatite is a form of calcium which actually occurs naturally in our teeth, it inhibits decay and stimulates bone growth. It's a super ingredient we should all be switching to for our oral health.
- A lot of the non-fluoride alternatives/mineral toothpastes do not contain any remineralising ingredients, meaning they are not actively helping to prevent tooth decay.
What we love about Gutology:
- Made in the UK
- Protects the oral microbiome which plays a key role in how your breath smells, gum disease and your gut
- Biological dentist formulated
- Remineralising
- Protects and heals tooth decay
What we are voicing to them to change:
- Quite understandably the packaging, though aluminium tubes are still lined with plastic so there's no easy solution here for squeezing.
