What’s the benefit of using Paleo vs. Vegan formula, and Cinnamony Mint vs. Orange Vanilla flavor?

We currently offer 4 options for our OraWellness Smile Hydroxyapatite toothpaste:

FORMULAS:
The Paleo formula’s main remineralizing ingredient is the same microcrystalline hydroxyapatite mineral/protein complex that’s in our Shine Remineralizing Tooth Whitening powder. It’s derived from pasture raised, grass-fed New Zealand cattle bone.

The Vegan formula’s main remineralizing ingredient is a vegan-friendly, lab synthesized microparticle size hydroxyapatite.

Both formulas support tooth remineralization by providing the exact same minerals our teeth are made of, in the right ratio, and in the right (micro) particle size for optimal support (without the potential risks of nanoparticles).

They also both include xylitol and proteins to boost hydroxyapatite’s remineralization potential. The proteins in the Paleo formula are naturally found in the cattle bone MCHA, which is non-ashed to preserve its naturally occurring critical peptides (aka proteins). In the Vegan formula, the hydroxyapatite does not inherently contain proteins, so we added pea protein to the formula to mimic the clinical benefits that protein plays in our Paleo formulas.

FLAVORS:
The Cinnamony Mint flavor contains many of the same certified organic essential oils as our HealThy Mouth Blend (the warming and cooling oils–cinnamon, clove, peppermint, spearmint). So it will offer the same soothing and oral-microbiome-balancing benefits as we describe for those oils in our article, What’s in the HealThy Mouth Blend? (And why is it so effective?). It’s also ideal for folks who like a minty fresh flavor from their toothpaste.

The Orange Vanilla flavor was originally formulated for children and folks who stay away from mints for one reason or another (for example, some of our customers choose to avoid mints while they’re following homeopathic protocols). However, the more people try this flavor, the more awesome feedback we’re receiving about how delightful it is for people of all ages, regardless of whether or not they need to avoid mints. Some have even gone so far as to say this flavor transforms their normally mundane tooth brushing routine into an activity that they look forward to. And, research shows that orange peel oil (the oil we use to flavor this version of OraWellness Smile) can help protect against the bacteria responsible for dental cavities. (1)
