  • Publication number: 20030157145
    Abstract: Provided are fluoridated products, including a beverage and a powdered composition for preparing the beverage as well as oral healthcare products. The powdered composition can be readily mixed with water to prepare a suitable fluoridated beverage or solution for making other products upon the addition of hydrogen fluoride. The powdered composition comprises a fluoride compound, an essential amino acid and a polyprotic acid, and most preferably vitamin C. A preferred method of preparing the fluoridated solution includes adding hydrogen fluoride to the water base, as the presence of the hydrogen fluoride greatly enhances the fluoride availability, and then adding the remaining components. The solution can be used as a fluoridated beverage or used to prepare other oral healthcare products which provide enhanced protection of tooth surfaces from cavities and eventual tooth loss.
