For Those with a Dry Mouth

Dry mouth is the third most common pharmaceutical side effect. Diseases like diabetes, depression or rheumatism can lead to reduced salivasection and subjective dry mouth. Saliva has a very important function for oral hygiene, because it washes the mouth and prevents acid attacks the teeth and contributes minerals. Saliva helps washing away scraps and bacteria, that otherwise can cause caries. In addition, saliva protects the mouth from fungal infections and other diseases, and helps to lubricate your teeth and mucous membrane. The moist mucous membrane is a protective barrier against what teeth and gums goes through every day.

EKULF has created saliva stimulating pastilles for helping against dry mouth.

EKULF Moisters is a pastilles for you with a dry mouth. The pastilles are sugar-free and effective stimulates the production of saliva.

The active substances are malic acid, sodium citrate and dicalcium phosphate. With sweetening it increases the saliva production and togheter with the ingredients it also helps to balance pH-value in the mouth. Xylitol, sorbitol, isomalt and stevia glycosides are the used sweeting in the pastilles. The pastilles gives a fresh and sweet feel and can be used after every meal or when needed.

The pastilles delivers in a clean small box and therefore very flexible to bring everywhere. The product is produced in Sweden. One box contains 30 pastilles and the recommended dose is 12 pastilles per day. EKULF Moisters is for adult and kids 12 years and up, is medical device and class 1 CE marked.

Saliva is important for our well-being and we need it to speak, chew and swallow. Normally we produces 1-1,5 liters of saliva per day. There are both large and small salivary glands in the mouth. The large, salivary glands forms saliva when we eat and chew. This kind of saliva has a higher pH-value (pH 7,5) which contribute to quickly raise the pH-value in the mouth. The smaller salivary glands form saliva throughout the whole day, even at night, and are scattered in the palate and on inside of the cheeks. This kind of saliva has a lower pH-value (around 6-6,5) then chewing-stimulated saliva, the more viscos and protected saliva lubricates the mouth. Too little saliva or the wrong compound saliva (low pH-value <7) increases the risk for dry mouth, bacteria, plaque, fungal infections, caries and many other things.

MALIC ACID
Malic acid is carboxylic acid that exits in fruit and plants, for example in apples, grapes and plum. Malic acid stimulates the saliva production and can also be used to regulate the fluid balance.

XYLITOL
Xylitol (birch sugar) is one natural sweetening that is extracted from the Finnish birch root. It protects the teeth from acid attacks, plaque, caries and contributes to increase the pH-value in the oral cavity.

ISOMALT
New clinical studies prove that similar pH-increases have the same effects as Xylitol.

MINERALS
Minerals exists naturally in the saliva. If the production of saliva is low will the mucous glands be affected. EKULF Moisters contains calcium hydrogenphosphate which tributes to protect the oral cavity.
