Radical transparency

Every ingredient, every number, every test.

Most gum labels hide behind a "proprietary blend" and a flavour name. This page is the opposite: every ingredient, the exact doses, the piece size, and what an independent laboratory found when it assessed the formula. Where a number is still missing, it says so, because we are waiting on the lab, not because we are hiding it.

The short version: each piece of Minvelle gum contains 5.7 mg of nano-hydroxyapatite (0.30% of piece weight), 817 mg xylitol and 285 mg erythritol in a 1.9 g piece. One box holds 18 pieces, one a day. The full 14-ingredient formula and the independent lab assessment are published below.

Nano-hydroxyapatite, measured.

Each piece carries 5.7 mg of nano-hydroxyapatite, the same mineral family your enamel is built from. Hydroxyapatite has been studied at the ingredient level in Japan since 1980. The first hydroxyapatite toothpaste launched there in 1980 (Sangi, company history); Japan approved the ingredient as an anti-caries agent in 1993 (O’Hagan-Wong et al., Odontology 2022). Ours is synthetic and lab-made, with no animal source at any stage; the manufacturer confirmed that in writing in August 2026.

Why put it in a gum at all? Contact time. Toothpaste is in your mouth for about two minutes. A piece of gum is chewed for twenty or more, and chewing drives saliva flow, which is what moves minerals onto the tooth surface. The gum sits alongside fluoride brushing, it does not replace it.

✓ Particle size: rod-shaped, 200 nm long, 20–50 nm wide, per supplier specification (updated August 2026)

The particle width of 20–50 nm sits inside the EU's 1–100 nm nanomaterial definition, so "nano-hydroxyapatite" is not just the common name here, it is the regulatory category, and we label it accordingly. The full explanation is in the FAQ below.

The other half of transparency

What we do not claim.

No cure promises

We will not tell you this gum rebuilds enamel or fixes cavities, because no finished-product trial says so. That is the honest version, and it is the only one we sell.

What the evidence supports

Xylitol drives saliva flow within about 20 minutes of chewing, and saliva is the mechanism that carries minerals to the tooth surface. Documented in Dawes & Macpherson, Caries Research 1992, and the basis of the EU’s authorized health claim for sugar-free gum (Regulation 432/2012; EFSA Journal 2011;9(6):2266).

Not convinced? Fine.

If that is not enough for you, that is fine. 30-day money-back guarantee either way: send the unopened box back and you get a full refund.

Questions, answered

Asked by people like you.

How much hydroxyapatite is in each piece?
5.7 mg per 1.9 g piece (0.30% by weight), about 103 mg per 18-piece box. Gum works differently from toothpaste: lower dose, but 10x the contact time and active saliva flow.
Is Minvelle vegan?
No. The formula contains egg shell powder as a natural calcium source. If you avoid egg, this gum is not for you.
Is the hydroxyapatite synthetic or animal-derived?
Synthetic. Our manufacturer confirmed it in writing in August 2026: the nano-hydroxyapatite is lab-made, with no bovine or any other animal source at any stage of production. The mineral itself is animal free; the gum as a whole still is not vegan, because the formula also contains egg shell powder as a separate calcium source.
Is it sugar-free?
Yes. Sweetened with xylitol (43%) and erythritol (15%) only. No aspartame, no acesulfame K, no sorbitol, no titanium dioxide.
Why "nano" hydroxyapatite?
Particle size changes how the mineral behaves on the tooth surface; smaller particles have more surface area for the same weight. Our supplier specifies rod-shaped particles, 200 nanometres long and 20 to 50 nanometres wide (spec updated August 2026; an earlier version of this page quoted only the 200 nm length). One honest note on the word "nano": the EU's regulatory definition of a nanomaterial covers particles with any external dimension between 1 and 100 nm, and at 20 to 50 nm wide our powder is inside that definition. So "nano-hydroxyapatite" is not just the industry's common name, it is the regulatory category, and we label our ingredient hydroxyapatite (nano). The numbers are published here so you can judge the label yourself.
