EvoraPlus Probiotic Mints {Review and Giveaway}

CLOSED

I was recently given the opportunity to try EvoraPlus- The First Probiotic Mints for Complete Oral Care.   EvoraPlus is 100% Natural- contains no artificial sweeteners, flavors or colors and is suitable for vegetarians.  It's a mint that supports gum and tooth health, freshens breath, and whitens teeth- all in one!  And it's proudly Made In the USA by Oragenics Inc. located in Florida!!  Oragenics also has products for kids and even pets!  And check out their cute site featuring Linda- the Probiotics Tooth Fairy where you can learn and ask questions about oral health care.

So how does it work you ask?  Here's the basics:

    When the mint melts on the tongue, the freeze-dried probiotics activate and attach themselves to the teeth and gum tissue, establishing colonies of live, active beneficial bacteria both on the surface of the teeth and deep beneath the gum line...  With daily replenishment, the ProBiora3™ beneficial bacteria used in EvoraPlus™ helps to reestablish the natural microbial balance in the mouth for healthy gums and teeth, fresher breath and whiter teeth.  Here's more info. from their website:

Healthy gums and teeth
EvoraPlus™ probiotic mints naturally support gum and tooth health with the powerful key ingredient of patented Probiora3™ probiotics. These natural resident beneficial bacteria of very healthy mouths set up a “base camp” in the mouth and crowd out the problematic, harmful bacteria.  Learn More

Fresher breath
The key to beating bad breath is keeping the bad bacteria that inhabit the mouth in check. The blend of beneficial bacteria incorporated into EvoraPlus™ works to balance the population of the periodontal bacteria that create bad breath. By binding to the teeth and deep beneath the gum line, the beneficial bacteria work to inhibit and exclude the destructive bacteria from overpopulating and creating imbalances in the mouth.  Learn More

Naturally whitens teeth
One of the most powerful and unique properties of the probiotic blend used in EvoraPlus™ is their ability to release a low level form of hydrogen peroxide as a normal by-product. The continuous low doses of hydrogen peroxide created by the Probiora3™ blend of beneficial bacteria naturally whiten teeth without creating tooth sensitivity or gum irritation.  Learn More

And who doesn't want fresh breath and whiter teeth?  I know for myself, drinking all this coffee  (you know what I'm talking about mommies) has done no favors to my teeth color.  EvoraPlus is simple, quick and easy, and I'm all for that!  The directions say to use twice daily (2 mints a day, preferably after brushing).  Let them dissolve completely in your mouth for optimal effect.  Noticeable results in 30 days.  That's it!
 
I've only been using them for a few days so haven't noticed any change in my teeth color yet, but I've taken a picture and when the 30 days is up I'll post with the before and after.  EDIT to add:  my before and after pics were identical, no change in teeth color.  The mints aren't overly strong how some can be (um, Altoids comes to mind), there's actually barely any flavor/taste at all.  Originally, I was forgetting to have a 2nd mint before the end of the day (I had them downstairs in the kitchen though and have since moved them up to the bathroom), so now right after I brush my teeth I pop in a mint.  The only other thing I wish EvoraPlus would include in the box is a color guide for your teeth so you can easily track the progress.
 
Ok, now onto the giveaway, EvoraPlus has kindly offered 1 lucky reader the chance to try the product for themselves (a 30-day supply).
