Zendium
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zendium
Zendium is a brand of toothpaste marketed in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Scandinavia.
History
zendium was introduced in the Netherlands in 1976, its formula based on the enzyme research of Henk Hoogendoorn.[1]
As of 2007, zendium's market share in Denmark was about 37%.[1]
Ingredients
The active ingredients in Zendium Classic are:[2]
- Enzymes: amyloglucosidase, glucosidase and lactoperoxidase
- Sodium fluoride
- Colostrum
- Abrasive: Hydrated silica
- Surfactant: Steareth-30
Unlike many types of toothpaste, zendium products do not contain the foaming agent sodium lauryl sulfate. The lack of SLS protects the mucous membranes[2] and is believed to reduce the risk of aphthous ulcers.[1] In addition, since zendium does not contain SLS or similar foaming agents, it can be used together with chlorhexidine.[2][3]
