Zellies Xylitol Sweetened Cherry Berry Mints, 250 Count Jar

These are very pleasant mints. I use them to protect my teeth and to moisten my mouth.

I love these, I chew them every day, and they are the perfect size mint to freshen your breath up with and whiten your teeth. I will re order them.

These taste very good and dissolve quickly, if you can resist biting into them. Haven’t used them long enough yet to assess how effective they are on my dental health but will follow up in a few months.

Experimenting with Dr. Ellie Phillips' oral care protocol, and ordered her mints to try the full to-the-letter system (all other elements except the specific toothbrush available at my local drug store). The Zellie's mints taste great, the cherry berry flavor is an awesome alternative to the generally mint variations of other xylitol gums and lozenges that I'm finding locally on-shelf. Sturdy plastic bottle with a flip-lid, nicely packaged. Bit pricy, but not out of the ballpark if you divide the cost out over the number of pieces and compare to the volumes of other similar-ish low-ingredient xylitol products. LOVE the short, sweet, and easily pronounced ingredient list. Nothing in these that I can't identify or understand without Googling, and nothing that doesn't have an obvious reason for being in the recipe. The ONE downside, and will probably put me looking for alternatives that check similar boxes in terms of ingredient minimalism and simplicity and xylitol content for regular use, was the sheer delay in receiving these mints. Ordered in mid-January, did not receive until mid-February. At least the shipping was free. Assuming this is due to the product being a specialty item produced by a smaller, independent producer, and fair enough, but that was a massive lead-time. I may give this product another try in the future, but at this rate I should probably order the next bottle now if I want to get it before I run out of the ones I just received. If you're looking to hit the ground running with the full, to-the-letter mouth care system, prepare to delay. I ended up substituting first an off-shelf xylitol melt from the toothpaste aisle to just get rolling (non-ideal, lots of extra mystery ingredients in comparison, but cheap and, crucially, available), and then found a mass-produced xylitol gum online with an ingredients list a lot closer to the excellent standard that Zellie's sets, that arrived at my door in less than a week. Overall, great quality, great taste, fairly-enough priced. Too early to tell whether these (or Dr. Ellie's full suite of recommended products/protocol) is revolutionizing my oral care or not, but it doesn't seem to be hurting. Availability/massive lead time from order to receipt the only negative, and might have been a fluke.

Taste good, makes your mouth feel clean and fresh!
