Why vitamin B12 is so important for oral health!
We have it in our hands: Longevity starts in the mouth! Our oral health plays an important role for the entire body, and we can support this through targeted tooth brushing. The oral microbiome serves as the mouth's immune system, it can both strengthen and weaken the organism, and it has a direct impact on the body and gut microbiome. Healthy oral hygiene therefore helps our body and the entire immune system.
You can find out here what crucial role vitamin B12 plays in this:
Vitamin B12 is an important building block for oral hygiene:
Vitamin B12 plays a very important role in dental care. This is because this vitamin is not only a building block for our general health, but is also particularly important for our gums and oral mucosa.
Why this is the case:
Promotes cell health: vitamin B12 is essential for the formation and regeneration of cells. This supports the rapid healing of minor injuries or inflammations in the mouth area, which can be caused by gingivitis or minor injuries.
Strengthening the immune system: A healthy vitamin B12 level strengthens the immune system and helps to ward off oral infections. People with a vitamin B12 deficiency are often more susceptible to gum infections and mouth ulcers because their immune system is weakened.
Protection against inflammation: Vitamin B12 has an anti-inflammatory effect, which is particularly important for dental health. It helps to reduce the risk of gum disease such as gingivitis and periodontitis, which are caused by inflammation and can lead to tooth loss in the long term.
Preventing dry mouth and burning tongue: Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to dry mouth and the so-called “burning tongue syndrome”, which can cause discomfort and oral mucosa problems. Adequate levels of vitamin B12 can alleviate such symptoms and promote oral health.
Promoting nerve function: As vitamin B12 is crucial for nerve health, it also helps to keep the nerves in the teeth and gums healthy. This can contribute to a reduction in sensitivity and soreness in the mouth.

Strengthen your oral health with Natch!
The natural oral cavity should be strengthened as much as possible with healthy substances. And that's exactly where Natch comes in.
All Natch Tabs, except for the Kids Tooth Monster Bubblegum, are enriched with vitamin B12 (1.2 mcg of methylcobalamin), a naturally occurring form of B12. Another common form found in dietary supplements is “cyanocobalamin,” which is not naturally occurring. Both forms are effective, but methylcobalamin has been shown to be better retained in the body, lasting longer and maintaining higher levels than cyanocobalamin. This means that using methylcobalamin provides your body with vitamin B12 for an extended period compared to cyanocobalamin (source).
In addition, our innovative fluoride alternative calcium hydroxyapatite (HAp) helps to remineralize teeth, strengthen them and can also help to prevent tooth decay, and our ingredient xylitol is also perfect for preventing tooth decay. Instead of synthetic foaming agents or sweeteners and colorants, our tabs contain unique, vegan ingredients such as foaming soap bark, zeolites, oak bark, clove, organic essential oils and many other ingredients from Mother Nature.
Our oral microbiome is a natural habitat that needs to be nurtured. With Natch, you're on the right track.
