Toothpaste with Activated Charcoal | Oral Probiotics for Women and Men | Fluoride Free Whitening | Freshen Bad Breath, Gum Health, Whiten Teeth | Spearmint, 1 Tube, 4oz

It has a soft taste, clears teeth very well, does not nip the tongue, suits kids and has a lovely strict tube design. I would love to order more, but they're out of stock.

very expensive, found it cheaper by far

Im always looking for a product with less chemicals and more natural ingredients. I don't need nor want the fluoride in my toothpaste and I love the activated charcoal. I thought I would give the Vital Nutrient Hyperboloids a try. First, I dont mind the taste. Others have commented on having to adjust to it, I prepared myself but did not find it unpleasant at all. Thats my own experience. I also love the fact it is not oversaturated with mint. There is spearmint in this which is preferrable to me instead of peppermint, which is to strong for me. I developed a rash on my jaw and chin line that would not go away even after visiting my dermatologist who prescribed a topical medication, but it persisted. I just began looking at my products, which are minimal, and my toothpaste (at that time) had peppermint, not spearmint. I purchased this brand and yes, that was my problem. The breakouts went away. This may not be an issue with everyone, but peppermint is to strong for me. So, I got an added bonus with this brand. So many brands are using peppermint, what a shame. Overall, I like the freshness, the minimal and more natural ingredients, this gives me no teeth sensitivity. (remember, brush lightly) I will be a repeat customer

I wanted to try a different xylitol toothpaste other than one I’d been using and found this. I’ve been using it for about 1.5 weeks. At first, it took some getting used to because the flavor is just essential oils and not really sweet, but now that I’ve grown accustomed to the taste, this really is my favorite toothpaste now. It leaves my mouth and teeth feeling so clean and has all but eliminated any bad breath I had. Another bonus is I notice substantial whitening in just the short time I’ve been using it. I have a gorgeous smile with this and will continue to purchase it. One drawback is it can make a bit of a mess of your sink, but that’s almost too minor to even mention. I will say, if you’re used to traditional toothpastes with foaming detergents, this will be an adjustment since it has zero foaming, but it’s so much better for you and incredibly effective at getting to the root of any oral health problems rather than simply masking them. Love it.

*UPDATE* You get used to the taste of the toothpaste after a couple uses and it really does leave my mouth feeling super clean. I've noticed a very clear difference in the whiteness of my teeth so I am giving this product a four star review. Still, would I repurchase this product for the price? I don't know yet. I just used this for the first time and I have taken away 2 stars so far because of two reasons: 1. When I opened the tube and removed the seal, I had to squeeze harder than normal to get any product out. For a brand new product, this shouldn't be the case. I realized that there is quite a bit of air in the tube which means it is not completely full of product. Therefore I'd be interested to know if my tube has the labeled amount of product, especially for a $14 toothpaste. 2. The taste is nowhere near "mint". The smell has a hint of mint, so really a hint is all you get when tasting it. In reality I was very surprised to find an unpleasant taste. If I could pinpoint the taste I would call it a mix of dirt/soil + moldy-mildew taste. No joke...no exaggeration, a legit dirt/mold taste. It was very shocking and unexpected. I'm not picky and I actually love odd flavors..I've had anise, chai, and basil flavored pastes in the past. This is a very earthy taste but in a very unpleasant way. I'm not sure if overtime I will get used to it. It doesn't foam up at all and it's very thin. This means that it's different to brush with and it sprays black/grey liquid all over your sink when you spit. So far my teeth feel very clean so I can't complain about the job it did cleaning my teeth. My mouth feels very fresh and the only taste that thankfully stayed was that hint of mint I mentioned. I paid $14 for this toothpaste so you bet I'll keep using it. I will update my review when I can further review the product after a good while of use. So far based on the taste, air in the tube, and the price I would most likely not buy again.

This toothpaste is amazing! So kind of a long story, but I was having some serious issues with my teeth. While I take care of them pretty well (I don't smoke, get cleanings, etc), they just weren't looking as white as I wanted them to, and weirdly, I was having some serious dragon breath that I just couldn't seem to shake. I had looked at a bunch of different options, tried all the typical things like whitening strips and mouthwash, but then my dentist told me that my enamel is naturally weaker or something? Apparently, it's a genetic thing? And all that mouthwash and whitening strips were a no-go for me. Plus I'm also trying to be careful about what I put in my body, so I really wanted to find a natural alternative. Just one problem...a lot of the natural things I tried just didn't work that well. Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago. I was googling for some info about natural oral health (and getting really freaked out about triclosan!!) and I saw this toothpaste, so I thought I'd give it a try. I really liked how it had xylitol and activated charcoal, since I had come across a couple of studies showing how the first actually kills the type of bacteria that causes bad breath, and the second kind of acts like a whitening magnet to pull the bad stuff off your teeth, and after going down a little bit of a research rabbit hole, I got really interested in how the L. paracasei in it might help. Apparently scientists have found that it crowds out the bad bacteria in your mouth so they can't do as much damage. Told you I went down a research rabbit hole :) To be honest, I wasn't expecting to see that much of a difference. But hey, their other things seem really science-backed and what did I have to lose? All I can say is WOW. My teeth look amazing, much whiter than I expected after such a short time, and my breath is back to normal –– no more using mouthwash after every meal, no more wondering if people are thinking about it while I'm talking to them. I don't know what was going on in my mouth, but thank God that it's taken care of now! Now I've got my whole family using it. The kids love it because it turns their teeth black … and I like that it's healthy for them and flavored like normal toothpaste so they'll actually use it. Hyperbiotics, if you guys read these, you've got a customer for life!

Unfortunately, this charcoal toothpaste has not made any improvement with whitening my teeth whatsoever, not even one shade or a hint of being whiter. I had high hopes considering the product description, but the result was disappointing. The toothpaste does not have a bad taste at all, in fact you can taste a some what minty flavor. Not a huge minty taste but enough to notice. It is a little on the thinner side, so don't expect a thick paste to come out. You don't need a lot on your toothbrush either. Also, make sure you spit in the sink carefully as this does get all over. I have had no issues with it staining my teeth or making them worse, just not better, whiter or brighter! What doesn't work so great for me, just may work better for you, hence my giving 3 stars instead of 1. The tube should last a very long time. I have used this now for almost 4 weeks and can't really notice much gone and I did put the toothpaste all along my toothbrush. I passed this along to one of my older children, hoping they will have a better experience with it and notice brighter, whiter teeth. As for myself, no, I do not feel the price was worth this tube of toothpaste and find that baking soda, which only cost .50, works much better. IF my son has a better experience, I will update my review with a better rating. If he does not, then no, I would not recommend this to others, nor would I purchase it again. Sorry sellers, for this bad review but I am just being honest. Maybe you need to make some changes to your ingredients so it works as described?
