Ingredients and Use
Gumz-n-Teeth contains the following ingredients:
- Arthrospira platenis (Spirulina) is a single celled micro-organism found in the sea and
known to be an excellent source of chlorophyll. Widely used for its nutritive properties, Spirulina contains
protein, vitamins (including B12 and folic acid) and carotenoids. Spirulina also makes vitamin A available for
use in the body. Vitamin A is essential for healthy eyes, teeth and immune functioning. This sea algae has been
used in traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years as a tonic to boost energy, support liver and
immune system functioning, and general systemic health. Human studies have shown Spirulina to promote oral
health in particular (Mathew, B., Sankaranarayanan, R., Nair, P. P., Varghese, C., Somanathan, T., Amma, B. P.,
Amma, N. S., and Nair, M. K. “Evaluation of chemoprevention of oral cancer with Spirulina fusiformis.” Nutr
Cancer 1995;24(2):197-202.)
- Equisetum arvense (Horsetail) has been widely used in Western and Chinese herbalism for
many centuries. This therapeutic herb helps to support healthy body tissue due to its high silica content.
Silica is essential in the maintenance of healthy and strong teeth, skin, bones, claws and fur and is the main
component in all connective body tissues including the myelin sheaths around nerve cells and the membranes of
the brain and spinal cord. It also contains health promoting compounds called sterols (D'Agostino, M., Dini,
A., Pizza, C., Senatore, F., and Aquino, R. “Sterols from Equisetum arvense.” Boll.Soc Ital.Biol Sper.
12-30-1984;60(12):2241-2245.)
- Taraxacum officinale (Dandelion) is known to contain bitter principles which have a
beneficial effect on saliva production in the mouth. (Kuusi T, Pyylaso H, and Autio K. “The bitterness
properties of dandelion. II. Chemical investigations.” Lebensm-Wiss Technol 1985;18:347-349. ) It is also a
source of vitamins and minerals, including Vitamin A, D, C, various B Vitamins, iron, lecithin, silicon,
potassium, magnesium, zinc and manganese. These vitamins and minerals are all essential for the health of the
digestive system, bones, teeth and gums.
- Silica (6c) is a biochemic tissue salt which has a unique ability to cleanse the cells of
toxins and purify the body. Silica is naturally occurring in the body, especially in hair, nails, skin, nerve
sheaths and all mucous membranes, including the mouth and digestive tract. This biochemic tissue salt is also
frequently prescribed for gum health. Silica acts as a natural cleanser and purifier and will also eliminate
all foreign matter in the body. For this reason Silica should not be used for pets with any type of prosthesis,
metal plates, pins or artificial tubes in the body.
- Calc. fluoride (6C) is a biochemic tissue salt which is important for healthy teeth, skin
and bones. Calc. fluoride is also useful for teething pets. It is found in the enamel of teeth and bone
surfaces and is excellent for maintaining the health and integrity of teeth.
- Calc. phos. (6C) is a biochemic tissue salt useful for healthy teeth and gums and is
particularly important in times of growth and development. This salt is found in the bones, connective tissue,
teeth etc. and is necessary for supporting the strength/solidity of these tissues. Calc phos. is excellent for
supporting healthy circulation, bones and teeth.
