Vitamin A – 1200 mcg
Vitamin A is an antioxidant protecting cells by neutralising free radicals that cause oxidative cellular damage. It is essential for normal growth and maintenance of oral epithelial tissues and bones. Deficiency in Vitamin A is associated with periodontal pocket formation, a symptom of periodontal disease.
Vitamin C – 300 mg
Vitamin C is important for the synthesis of collagen, the primary connective tissue in the gingiva and the major organic constituent of the alveolar (jaw) bone and the epithelium (outer tissue layer). It enhances the movement and function of white blood cells which are responsible for fighting infection. Deficiency in Vitamin C is known to lead to severe periodontal disease. Certain individuals, such as the elderly, smokers and those who take birth control pills tend to have lower blood levels of Vitamin C.
Vitamin D – 5 mcg
Vitamin D is essential for the development and maintenance of teeth and bones that surround and support teeth. It promotes intestinal absorption of calcium.
Vitamin E – 20 mg
Vitamin E is a potent antioxidant, protecting cells by neutralising free radicals that cause oxidative cellular damage. It exhibits anti-inflammatory properties which may increase host resistance of the periodontium, limiting inflammation induced tissue destruction.
B Complex - B1 7.5mg, B2 8.5 mg, B6 10mg, B12 30mcg,
Folic Acid 400mcg
Oral tissues are composed of rapidly growing cells with a high turnover rate, increasing the need for B Complex Vitamins. They help maintain the body’s normal immune function. Lower levels of B Complex Vitamins are associated with tooth loss.
Calcium – 333 mg
Calcium is essential to the normal development and maintenance of teeth and the bone that surrounds and supports teath. Studies suggest that low dietary calcium intake is directly related to increased levels of periodontal disease. It has also been associated with gingival inflammation, pocket formation and alveolar bone resorption.
Magnesium – 40mg
Magnesium is essential for the mobilisation of calcium from bone and assists in the maintenance of normal bone formation and regeneration. It is present in both enamel and dentin, concentrated twice as much in the dentin than in the enamel. Deficiency can adversely effect the periodontium by producing a lower rate of alveolar bone formation and widening of the periodontal ligament (a symptom of periodontal disease).
Zinc – 20 mg
Zinc is important in bone metabolism, including alveolar bone. It is vital for wound healing, immune function and general growth of all tissues. Zinc inhibits the release of certain enzymes and histamine that cause inflammation.
Selenium – 15 mcg
Selenium is an antioxidant, protecting cells by neutralising free radicals that surround and support teeth, dentin and enamel.
Copper – 2 mg
Copper is important in stabilising newly formed collagen tissues in the mouth.
Molybdenum – 25 mcg
Molybdenum is important in the growth and development of alveolar bone, dentin and enamel.
Vanadium – 10 mcg
Vanadium is required for cellular metabolism and for the formation of healthy bones and teeth.
