PeriPro Essentials

Dental health is a serious concern for many folks—especially as they get older. Much like the rest of your body, your teeth and gums need more support over time. Rapidly growing research is clear: Optimal oral health can affect your cardiovascular health and overall well-being. That’s why Dr. Whitaker has been searching for new ways to make daily dental care easier and more effective. That’s why he’s excited to introduce a Forward Nutrition exclusive called PeriPro Essentials™, which combines a unique strand of beneficial bacteria with xylitol and CoQ10 for optimal oral health. By now you’re well aware of probiotics, or “good” bacteria, and how they can help ease gas, indigestion, and bloating in your intestinal tract. Now, researchers recently uncovered a unique, patent-pending strain of beneficial bacteria called Dental-Lac™ that has been found to promote oral and dental health. Clinical trials have shown that this probiotic can significantly alter the balance of bacteria commonly found in the mouth to create a healthier oral environment. Good oral hygiene—such as regular brushing and flossing—can help to keep your teeth and gums in good shape. And now Dental-Lac offers an entirely new way to impact the health of your mouth…something even your dentist may not know about. Dental-Lac helps to maintain a healthy balance of bacteria in your mouth and to create an oral environment that encourages strong, resilient teeth and gums. Dr. Whitaker also included xylitol not only because it’s a healthy, natural sugar with a pleasant taste, but because research has shown that it can actually reduce cavities. And CoQ10 is a potent antioxidant that can help shield your mouth from harmful free radicals. This nutrient is also well known for its ability to fuel the heart with restorative energy, and Dr. Whitaker believes it’s just as powerful for your gums because it delivers nutrient-rich oxygen to gum tissue. A PeriPro Essentials lozenge is about the size and shape of a breath mint. You simply pop one in your mouth twice daily after a meal and let it melt away, which only takes a few minutes. The cool, refreshing taste it leaves in your mouth will remind you of a breath mint, too. But, instead of coating your teeth with harmful sugars like most breath mints do, it works to promote healthy teeth and gums. PeriPro Essentials also leaves your mouth feeling fresh and smelling clean. You can thank the hardworking Dental-Lac for these pleasant benefits. That’s because the healthy bacterial balance Dental-Lac creates in your mouth truly promotes fresh breath rather than just masking bad breath with mints and breath fresheners. PeriPro Essentials is a revolutionary new approach for keeping your teeth and gums strong and healthy. Don’t wait to protect your smile each day with this true oral health breakthrough.
