What are Xylitol and Mannitol? Why do you use them in your Melty Tabs?Updated 7 months ago

When creating the perfect formula for Renzo’s melty tabs, we didn’t choose Mannitol & Xylitol just because they rhyme. 

These two key ingredients are plant-derived, tooth-friendly sweeteners known as sugar alcohols or “polyols.” In fact, xylitol is known to have anti-cavity properties, which is why pediatric dentists usually recommend our Melty Tabs.

Don’t let their fancy name scare you though - they are neither sugar nor alcohol. Their name comes from their chemical structure, in which part of it looks like sugar and a part looks like alcohol.

Together, Mannitol and Xylitol allow our tablets to quickly dissolve upon contact with saliva. Their unique interaction is the driving force behind our melty disappearing act.
