Clorial Research:

Coenzyme Q10- A ubiquitous compound found in our body, CoQ10 helps treat periodontal disease, a leading cause of halitosis. Supplementation with Co Q10 was shown to decrease the periodontal pocket depth and helped the healing of the gums (1). In a trial of men with periodontitis who applied topical preparations of Co Q10, significant improvements in the modified gingival index, bleeding on probing, and periodontopathic bacteria activity were observed (2). Co Q10 therapy in severe periodontal disease has also been effective (3).

Xylitol- Used as a natural sweetener, unlike sugar, xylitol drastically reduces tooth decay and buildup of bad-breath causing bacteria (4,5). In one study, xylitol-containing gum chewed by pregnant mothers was associated with reduced dental decay and cavity-causing bacteria (Streptococcus mutans) in their children (6). Xylitol has even demonstrated equal effectiveness to dental sealants in preventing dental caries and can contribute to re-mineralization of teeth (7,8).

Folic Acid- In studies where folic acid is applied topically, it is effective at treating gingivitis (another main cause of halitosis) and improving gingival health in pregnant women (9,10). Oral supplementation with folic acid is recommended to patients taking the drug phenytoin to reduce gingival overgrowth (11).

Lactoferrin- This naturally occurring substance inhibits the growth of halitosis-causing bacteria through several mechanisms including preventing bacteria from utilizing iron for its growth; binding and destroying bacteria and preventing adhesion of bacteria onto gum tissue and other cells (12,13). Lactoferrin is bactericidal against Streptococcus mutans which is considered to be the principal etiologic agent in dental caries (14).

Vitamin C- A national survey conducted in the United Kingdom showed that low intakes and plasma levels of vitamin C were associated with being edentulous (toothless) (15). In the United States, low vitamin C has also been linked to tooth loss, indicating the importance of vitamin C to oral health (16). Vitamin C deficiency is associated with swelling and bleeding of the gums, which also invites odor-causing bacteria.

Thyme- Thyme oil exhibits antibacterial activity and has been useful in dental practice (17). A component of thyme, known as thymol, appears to inhibit the growth of oral pathogens in the mouth and, in combination with other essential oils, may reduce dental caries (18,19). In patients with orthodontic brackets, a dental varnish containing thymol reduced the proportion of Streptococcus mutans in supragingival plaque near the bracket (20). Thymol is one of the essential oils with antibacterial effects found in Listerine (21).

Eucalyptus- Eucalyptus leaf and its extracts have antimicrobial and antifungal activity (22). One ingredient of eucalyptus (eucalyptol) is used in commercial mouthwashes like Listerine to exert antibacterial action on oral pathogens (21). Experimental research shows that eucalyptus oil is bactericidal against 5 types of pathogenic oral bacteria (23).

Peppermint oil- Peppermint oil makes the mouth feel fresh and, of course, makes the formula taste good. Peppermint oil can also increase salivation which is useful because dry mouth may result in halitosis (24).
