We simply add citric acid to create a sharp, tangy flavor. Also known as "sour salt" because it tastes sour and looks like salt grains.

Candy is made sour with acids like citric, malic, tartaric, and fumaric acid. These acids are found naturally in fruits and vegetables.

We use a sweetener over sugar. The founder had a sweet tooth and developed the products profile in memory of his childhoods favorite sweets.

Xylitol and Sucralose are two widely used sugar alternatives that offer unique benefits when incorporated into oral delivery systems like toothpicks, gums, mints, and lozenges. Together, they enhance the effectiveness, taste, and functionality of oral care and supplement products.

The act of sucking on the toothpick releases our key ingredients Flavor, Xylitol, Sucralose and Jambu (spilanthes) all of which stimulate your salivary production. This reaction relieves dry mouth almost instantly and freshens your breath.

Xero Picks® patented dual delivery system provides the best of both worlds. The main benefit of buccal use is that the absorption process
First happens in the mouth, utilizing the entry points in to the body of the cheeks, tongue and lips for faster uptake in to the bloodstream.

Ingredients not absorbed buccally are swallowed and ingested resulting in a quicker absorption as there is NO metabolizing due to Xero Picks® sugar-free formulation. This makes the bioavailability of active ingredients much greater from start to finish.

1. Suck on one end of the toothpick for 5-6 minutes. Flip and repeat.
