Lotte Confectionery Celebrates 20th Anniversary of Xylitol with Launch of 'Dissolvable Xylitol' Dietary Supplement

[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Saeng-hye] Lotte Confectionery announced on the 4th that it has launched 'Melting Xylitol' to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the release of xylitol gum.

Melting Xylitol is a health functional food using xylitol, which has been recognized by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety for its effect in reducing the risk of dental caries. Since it is in the form of a refreshing candy rather than gum, it is recommended to slowly melt it in the mouth to allow it to stay sufficiently. The recommended intake is one piece (2g) three times a day.

It can be purchased at E-Mart, and will be available at Lotte Mart and Homeplus later this month. The price is 9,600 KRW (120 tablets).

Xylitol has a pentose structure that cariogenic bacteria such as mutans streptococci cannot decompose, thereby inhibiting acid production by these bacteria in the mouth and reducing the risk of dental caries. Among the individually recognized ingredients approved by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, xylitol is the only one granted the function of reducing the risk of dental caries.
