Minvelle Open Protocol No. 1

The Open Chew Log.

Our category loves percentages nobody can check. We are doing the opposite: real Minvelle customers keep an 18-day diary of how their teeth feel, and every entry gets published on this page, raw and unedited. The good, the boring, and the "I felt nothing."

This is not a clinical trial and will never be presented as one. It is a public, pre-registered sensory diary. No percentage claim will ever be made from it. Its only promise is that nothing gets hidden.

Cohort 1 is forming · July 2026
Why this exists

Raw diaries beat invented numbers

The problem

Remineralizing gum brands routinely show satisfaction percentages with no source, no method, and no participants anyone can point to. Shoppers can't tell measured from made-up, so they distrust everyone. Fair enough.

Our answer

Publish the primary material instead of a summary statistic. Every check-in from every participant appears below, verbatim. Where a diary says "no change," you will read "no change." You do the interpreting, not us.

What this is not

No control group, no blinding, no placebo, self-reported feelings from people who chose to buy the product. That is why we will never aggregate this into a percentage. It is testimony under honest rules, not evidence of efficacy.

Pre-registered before anyone starts

The protocol, v1.0

Frozen on July 7, 2026. If we ever change it, the change and its date get logged on this page.

The rules we can be held to

Six commitments, in writing

1

Every entry is published unedited. Spelling mistakes, complaints and "felt nothing" included. We reserve the right to redact only personal data, never sentiment.

2

Dropouts stay on the board. If someone stops logging, their row remains, marked as incomplete. Vanishing participants are how numbers get laundered.

3

No percentage will ever be built from this page. Not in ads, not in social posts, not in a press release. If you ever catch us doing it, quote this line back at us.

4

Nobody is compensated. No free product, no discounts, no payment for participating. A diary that costs us nothing to influence is the only kind worth publishing.

5

Our conflict of interest is stated. Minvelle sells the gum being chewed. That is exactly why the raw material is public: check us, not our summary.

6

The protocol is frozen. Any change to it gets dated and logged here, above the ledger, permanently.

The ledger

Every diary, as written

Participant Started Day 0 Day 6 Day 12 Day 18 In their words Status
Cohort 1 is forming. The first day-0 entries land here in July 2026. An empty table published before recruitment is the point: the protocol came first, the results come second, in that order, in public.
Cohort 1

Own a box? Get on the board.

Cohort 1 is open to existing Minvelle customers only, so every diary comes from a real, traceable order. Email the founder directly and you will get the four check-in prompts on the right days. Four short emails over 18 days, that is the whole job.

Questions, answered

About the Chew Log

Is this a scientific study?
No, and we will correct anyone who calls it one. There is no control group, no blinding and no placebo; participants are customers reporting their own sensations. Exactly one peer-reviewed clinical trial exists on hydroxyapatite gum as a format, and it tested a different product with a different protocol. The Chew Log exists because our category's alternative to real evidence has been invented percentages, and we would rather publish honest raw material than another unverifiable number.
Why only four check-ins?
Because diaries people actually finish beat diaries designed to impress. Day 0 before the first piece sets the baseline, then days 6, 12 and 18 mark the box's natural thirds. Each entry takes about a minute.
What do participants get?
Nothing, on purpose. No payment, no free boxes, no discounts. The moment a diary is compensated, it stops being worth reading. What participants do get is their entry on this page, in their own words, in the first cohort of the first open chew log in the category.
Can a participant quit halfway?
Any time, no questions. Their row stays on the ledger marked incomplete, because deleting inconvenient rows is exactly the habit this page exists to oppose. On request we will unlink a name and keep the row as "participant withdrawn."

Self-reported comfort scores are feelings, not diagnoses. Nothing on this page is medical advice, and gum is a complement to brushing, never a replacement. If you have tooth pain or persistent sensitivity, see a dentist; do not wait 18 days to find out what a diary says.
