What is it?

LOTTE Xylitol Fresh Mint is a sugar-free chewing gum from the popular Korean confectionery brand Lotte. This 29g cylindrical bottle contains tablet-style gum, with xylitol as its primary sweetener (39%) and maltitol as the second (34%). It is a functional gum designed not just to freshen breath but also to help reduce the risk of cavities. The product is made in Thailand.

When to use it?

This gum is perfect for daily use to maintain oral hygiene. It is ideal after meals, especially when you cannot brush your teeth, to help neutralise acids and reduce the risk of tooth decay. The strong, refreshing mint flavour makes it excellent for freshening breath at any time, whether at work, school, or on the go. It is also a great sugar-free treat to satisfy a sweet craving without the calories.

How to use it?

Simply chew 1 to 2 pieces a day as needed, such as after eating. The gum is sugar-free and designed to be a long-lasting source of fresh mint flavour. The product contains a source of phenylalanine, so individuals with phenylketonuria (PKU) should avoid it. It may also have an adverse effect on activity and attention in children, so it is not recommended for them. For best quality, store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Why is this better?

LOTTE Xylitol Gum is a functional product designed for dental health. Xylitol, the key ingredient, is a natural sweetener that has been shown to reduce the risk of cavities by inhibiting the growth of bacteria that cause tooth decay. This makes it a much healthier option than ordinary sugar-filled gums. The product is praised for its "stronger and longer" refreshing mint taste that lasts as you chew. Its convenient, portable bottle makes it easy to carry, and the sugar-free formula is kind to teeth and waistlines.
