Plantafresh® is a
herbal, vegetable based, patented formula that addresses
bad breath caused by the normal digestion of food
and drink. It is made of all natural ingredients:
wintergreen, peppermint, and a unique vegetable
root extract of cinquefoil, all in a tasty cane
sugar base. It is used like an after-dinner mint
and is so effective only a few mint-like pastilles
clear bad breath for hours.
Plantafresh® pastilles
are the only fresheners that: First,
freshens your mouth by stimulating a natural flushing
action of saliva while introducing a mild, pleasant
mint flavor.
Second, Plantafresh® forms an herbal
solution that, when swallowed, inhibits the formation
of offensive digestive odors from the acid stomach
and sulfur compounds created by the breakdown of
food and liquids [a long lasting freshening process].
Third,
the formula tends to calm and soothe digestion.
[There are no parsley or soybean oils, or artificial
chemicals used that many people find difficult to
digest.]
ISO DENT, DENT GMBH,
a producer of dental products, was requested by
dentists to find an all-natural solution for patients
with bad breath. After extensive herbal and homeopathic
document research they found an herbal-based formula
that produced a natural cleansing action of the
mouth, and, when swallowed, neutralized odor forming
compounds within the digestive system. The functionality
was so different and effective that it was eligible
for, and awarded a patent.
Plantafresh® works
differently than common breath mints, drops, gums
and washes which only use a positive aroma to try
to cover up negative odor. They do not address the
underlying cause of the odors in healthy people
[digestion] and so bad breath keeps returning. You
must chew and chew, suck and suck, spray and spray,
to cover up the odor. Plantafresh® works
differently. Its herbal formula works with the digestive
system to inhibit the root causes of the bad odors.
Since this action takes place inside the stomach
and the mouth, the best way to express the difference
is to call Plantafresh® an "Internal"
or "Digestive" breath freshener.
The patented formula
uses dehydrated cane sugar juice (sugar), not only
to generate a pleasant taste and fresh feeling,
but, because it is an integral part of the breath
cleansing process. The sugar stimulates the saliva
glands. This naturally flushes and cleanses the
mouth. As Plantafresh® is chewed slowly, there
is a special catalytic-like effect by the saliva
on the other ingredients, so that when the potion
is swallowed it reacts with the odor forming agents
of digestion. Therefore,
artificial and other sweeteners are not acceptable.
To get the maximum effect,
let 2 - 6 mints soften in your mouth then
chew slowly and swallow. Your mouth is freshened
immediately, but the long-term digestive effect
starts as your food digests. Depending upon what
and how much you ate, it may take up to 20 minutes
to realize the full benefit. However, once
it starts, it normally lasts for hours! The
average number of servings per package is 10 to
15. Since each serving lasts for several hours,
Plantafresh® is one of the most economical breath
fresheners available.
Plantafresh® is made
from all natural ingredients. There are no artificial
ingredients, colors or flavors. In its patented
formula are etheric oils of wintergreen and peppermint,
a root extract of Cinquefoil and cane sugar. Peppermint
is well known for its breath freshening properties
and its calming effect upon digestion. Wintergreen
offers a traditional, classic flavor. The Cinquefoil
extract of a plant found in central and northern
Europe [Tinctura Tormentillae] has been used for
decades to calm gastric disorders. [Ref.: Herbal
Drugs & Phytopharmaceuticals Edited by Norman
Grainger Bisset.]
No. Unlike parsley and
peppermint based products the Plantafresh® formula
and its functionality is patented. Consumer reaction
for over 10 years in Europe and the U.S. has proven
that nothing works better. There are no known adverse
side effects.
Definitely. Dogs love
the flavor and will usually take them as a treat.
We have released a special version for animals called
Petafresh®.
