how to natch
Calcium-Hydroxyapatite (HAp)
Since Natch is a fully vegan product we incorporate calcium-hydroxyapatite (HAp) a version made from a naturally occurring form of calcium phosphate instead of bovine. It is actually the main mineral our teeth and bones are made of (approx. 95% of enamel & 70% of dentin). Studies have shown HAp to be an effective non-toxic alternative to fluoride that can equally help remineralize the enamel and reduce the risk of cavities and tooth erosion.
FLUORIDE OR NO FLUORIDE? HERE'S THE ANSWER!
Have you ever wondered how Natch came into existence? And why we chose to exclude fluoride as an ingredient? Here are the answers to all of your questions!
