Spry Xylitol Gum, Natural Peppermint, 100 Count - Great Tasting Natural Chewing Gum That is Aspartame-Free, Promotes Oral Health, and Fights Bad Breath

Nice flavour, puts my mind at ease that it’s healthy for my mouth.

This gum is not meant to be the sort of gum that you chew for ages. It's a xylitol delivery system that you chew a minimum of 6 times a day and is intended to release its xylitol in just a few minutes so that your mouth floods with enough xylitol to affect the growth of the plaque bacteria in your mouth and thereby protect your teeth.If you want 'gum' then this would be a very expensive way to buy it and would leave you rather unhappy with how quickly this loses its flavour. If you're using xylitol to help protect your mouth then this is one of the most cost effective and tasty ways to get your 6g a day.I have a chronic dry mouth condition which is why I am a xylitol fan, but I also have burning mouth syndrome which means that I just can't cope with most mint gums as they have painfully strong flavours. Spry make two gums which are great for me, this one and their green tea flavour.I'm happy that my mouth has a bit more protection than I can get just from cleaning my teeth twice a day using this, and hopefully it will help me reduce the damage from having a chronically dry mouth.

The cinnamon flavour is very, very strong initially. Chewing gum is quite good after the taste wears off. But because of the strong taste, I can only have a couple every day. Perhaps I will try the other flavours once I have finished these.

On a recent visit to the hygienist she said there had a been a noticeable and positive change in my gums and teeth and was very impressed. I have since recommended these to lots of people who have all gone on to buy them. I don't eat breakfast so have one after lunch and one after dinner and then maybe one or two during the day to stop me snacking. Good value for money too compared to the smaller packets of a different brand I was buying in the health food shop.

Good but quite expensive for the amount that you get

Good things:* It has a good flavor and taste.* It contains no Aspartame and no Phenylalanine.* The absence of Phenylalanine means that it has no unwanted laxative side effects, even if you chew a lot of it.* There are very few chewing gums that contain no phenylalanine.Bad things:* The flavor runs out quickly.* Some foods or spices cause the chewing gum to break apart into small pieces of mush inside your mouth. An example is KP Dry Roasted Peanuts.* If you chew a lot of the Cinnamon flavor pieces, it will cause a sort of burning sensation on your tongue -- at the tip and at the bottom. This can last for several hours. The other flavours do not have this problem.

I'm absolutely loving these!

Best natural xylitol gum I've found for reasonable price. I have one daily. Buy two if you can
