Xylitol

XYLITOL, NF is a naturally occurring 5-carbon sugar alcohol found in many fruits and vegetables. Xylitol is used as nutritive sweetener as a sugar substitute to produce “sugar-free” foods and is commonly used in the production of chewing gums, mints and other candies. It is healthier than sugar (75% fewer carbohydrates and 40% fewer calories) and just as sweet. Is often used in tooth care products and has proven to be healthier for teeth than sugar. Although its main use is as a food additive, it is also used medicinally to prevent middle ear infections in young children. The NF grade indicates it is graded suitable for personal care, cosmetic and pharmaceutical applications. All Spectrum Chemical NF grade products are manufactured, packaged and stored under current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) per 21CFR part 211 in FDA registered and inspected facilities.
