Designs for Health, the expert-recommended and preferred brand for high-quality, professional strength, research-backed supplements, and recipient of the 2023 Top Nutraceutical Company award** today announced the launch of PerioBiotic™ Silver, a fluoride-free probiotic toothpaste formulated with a unique combination of ingredients to support tooth enamel strength, brighten your smile, and support overall oral health.* This product joins Designs for Health's growing line of oral health solutions including PerioPull™ and Periommune™.

PerioBiotic™ Silver features Kalident, a nano-hydroxyapatite, purified silver, CoQ10, grape seed extract, and Dental-Lac™, a strain of Lactobacillus paracasei. Dental-Lac™ has been shown in clinical research to help support a healthy balance of bacteria in the mouth and overall periodontal health.* Similar to the role of probiotics in the gastrointestinal tract, beneficial oral bacteria may help maintain dental and oral health. Purified silver may support overall oral wellness, CoQ10 may help support gum health, and grape seed extract may help healthy inflammatory support.*

Two unique functional ingredients in this formula are calcium hydroxyapatite and hydrated silica. Hydroxyapatite is the primary mineral component of healthy tooth enamel, which can be worn down over time by acidic foods and drinks, harsh orthodontic glues and braces, and microbial imbalances within the mouth. Incorporating calcium hydroxyapatite into one's daily routine may help promote healthy tooth enamel and overall shine. Hydrated silica may possess natural cleaning properties and promote the teeth's natural brightness. Additionally, instead of using traditional harsh sulfates, this formula contains coco betaine, a coconut-sourced foaming and cleansing agent, and is suitable for sensitive teeth.

"Since fluoride was added to toothpaste in the 1950s, not much has changed in the way of true innovation in the toothpaste category, which is why we are thrilled to announce the launch of our unique PerioBiotic™ Silver formulation," said Founder and Chairman Jonathan Lizotte at Designs for Health. "The latest science shows a healthy mouth begins with a balanced oral microbiome, which is why we have meticulously formulated it to exclude harsh irritants, toxins, and foaming and whitening agents that could compromise one's oral health. The final product is a culmination of clinically studied ingredients based on the latest research to help design a healthier smile for all."
