xyligum-logo-fruitthe only 100% sugar & aspartame free natural gum in the UK

  • XyliGum contains no sugar or other artificial sweeteners at all ( aspartame-free ! )
  • Other Gums like Orbit have started to include xylitol for it's health benefits but still contain other synthetic questionable sweeteners like Aspartame.
  •  This means amazingly only 1.9 calories a piece.
  • Xylitol is a natural constituent already found in many fruits and vegetables.
  • Xylitol used in the production of Xyligum® is guaranteed to come from hardwood such as birch, as this is the best possible source.
  • Biodegradable - As Xyligum is the only non petroleum based gum available in the UK it is also the only biogradable one too.

Benefits of Xylitol

Some scientifically proven positive effects of xylitol include;

  • Prevention of tooth decay and caries through its specific effects on oral flora and on mutans streptococci.
  • Reduction of the occurrence of acute Otitis Media ( Middle Ear Infection ).
  • With xylitol being a low glycaemic ingredient, thus being slowly absorbed in the blood stream, it is also suitable for diabetics.
  • Although xylitol is as sweet as sugar, it has 40 % fewer calories.
  • Xylitol has a pleasant cooling sensation when it dissolves in the mouth, with no chemical after taste.

Natural Base

There is also a lot to be said about the chewing gum base. Almost all manufacturers use a petrol-derived rubber as its base. This of course is not natural at all. Xyligum’s base comes from the Sapodilla tree. A pleasant positive effect this has, is that Xyligum® does not stick to people’s teeth.

Xyligum® is available in two delicious flavours, fruit and spearmint for a refreshing taste.
