Calcium carbonate powder and xylitol for tooth care
My hope is to raise mouth pH, provide calcium for remineralization, and reduce bacteria.
The calcium carbonate is for acid neutralization and providing calcium. Xylitol is for inhibiting bacteria. It also should stimulate saliva secretion for helping remineralization and acid neutralizing.
Xylitol is a sugar alcohol that many bacteria have difficulty digesting. Also, xylitol is slowly or not digested by the human digestive system. That could help lower glycemic loading on the body. Keep sugar alcohols away from dogs.
