This natural floss is coated with pure unsweetened cranberry essence, which is removed during the action of flossing and deposited on the gums to help break up plaque. The floss is spun in natural plant wax to help sliding through tight spaces.
Plaque is considered the major source of
pathogens that cause gingival irritation and periodontal disease. Research has shown that the proanthocyanidins present in cranberry essence are effective in reversing and inhibiting the clumping of
bacteria that cause plaque and subsequently may help in maintaining good oral hygiene.

Benefits of Cranberries
Native to America, the cranberry is rich in proanthocyanidins; originally a defense mechanism for the plant, these organic substances also are known to naturally help cure urinary tract infections. Recent research in Israel and the USA has concluded that the proanthocyanidins also inhibit the adhesion of bacterial biofilms on teeth. This bio-film adheres to the surface of teeth and forms plaque, which feeds on sugars, producing acids that wear away the tooth surface and dissolve linkages to the gums, eventually leading to destructive periodontal disease and tooth loss. As this bacterial adhesion is the first step in the formation of plaque, cranberries have a unique position in helping to prevent periodontal disease.
Cranberry Production
Cranberries are grown in the Northeast and upper Midwest of the USA. The low bushes are flooded at harvest time and the fruit floats to the surface. Cranberries are non-GMO, contain no pesticides and receive little fertilizer, a very modern organic crop! The essence used by RADIUS for this vegan dental floss is made by removing water and concentrating the juice without sugar.
