Zendium
Zendium is a brand of toothpaste and oral hygiene products marketed primarily in Europe. Its key characteristic is the incorporation of enzymes and proteins that are naturally found in the mouth. The brand claims that these ingredients work to boost the mouth's natural defenses against bacteria and plaque, promoting a healthy oral microbiome.
Key Features and Claims:
- Enzymes and Proteins: Zendium toothpastes typically contain enzymes like amyloglucosidase and glucose oxidase, along with proteins like lactoferrin and colostrum. These components are intended to enhance the natural antimicrobial properties of saliva.
- Microbiome Balance: The brand emphasizes its focus on supporting a healthy balance of bacteria in the mouth, rather than simply killing all bacteria. This approach aims to reduce the risk of oral health problems associated with an imbalanced oral microbiome.
- Low Foaming: Zendium toothpastes generally produce less foam compared to traditional toothpastes, which the brand attributes to its formulation being gentler on soft tissues.
- Various Formulations: Zendium offers different formulations of toothpaste targeted at specific needs, such as sensitive teeth, enamel protection, and whitening.
History:
Zendium was originally developed by Unilever. It has since been acquired by other companies, including, most recently, Unilever once again acquired the brand in 2017. The brand has been available for several decades and has a long history of research and development related to its enzyme-based approach to oral hygiene.
Availability:
Zendium products are primarily sold in European countries. Availability in other regions may vary.
Note: As with any oral hygiene product, it is recommended to consult with a dentist or dental hygienist for personalized advice on maintaining good oral health.
