home : tackling the toughest breath

"ZAPP is our strong mint gum for the breath conscious consumer. Our proprietary blend of ingredients focuses on tackling the toughest breath. ZAPP is available in 12 piece sleeves for convenience.

Consumers are given hundreds of choices of chewing gums and mints in every store they visit. However these products are all manufactured by a handful of very large companies that care more about marketing than turning out a quality product. We're happy to say that ZAPP is a premium mint gum with ingredients you can pronounce and flavor you'll enjoy!"

Eliminate Aftertaste

"SmokeScreen is a revolutionary sugar free gum designed to reduce and in some cases eliminate the aftertaste from smoking cigarettes, cigars, pipes, etc. Smokers have been relying on inferior products for years since nothing specifically addressed their needs. But, those days are gone. SmokeScreen is taking the world by storm. SmokeScreen is also available in 12 piece sleeves for convenience.

SmokeScreen is a product that is quite unique. While the 3 major companies out there rely on smokers to consume massive amounts of their gum and mint products, they have chosen not to create and brand a product specifically for breath conscious smokers. Since Smoking has become more and more of a controversial social topic, especially in the United States, they fear creating a product for smokers may jeopardize their other brands and tarnish their name in general. Our philosophy is quite different. We recognize the needs of consumers based on their existing lifestyle, and we create premium products to satisfy those needs."

Why did the 'BREATH MINT CANDY' AFTER DINNER NOT WORK AT REFRESHING YOUR BREATH? During dinner you introduced two "triggers" to your mouth (protein and alcohol) that weren't previously there. These triggers make your oral environment very eager to begin creating foul-smelling VSC's (volatile sulfur compounds). Thus, the process of producing bad breath began. Wouldn't you think that a breath mint would contain ingredients that make this oral environment less likely to happen? At the very least, there shouldn't be anything in a breath mint that would make that oral environment worse right?

"I have been chewing gum all my life. I switched to Sugar Free gum about 5 years ago and up to about 6 months ago I was chewing Eclipse. I liked it fine, but then I tried your ElimiTaste ZAPP gum. This really has a fresh flavor to it. It feels great to chew. I realized after switching to ZAPP that the other gum I had been chewing actually had a chemical aftertaste. Anyway, great gum!"

"My husband buys these huge cigars on the internet and then smokes him with his poker buddies and golfing friends. When he comes home he smells like and ashtray and his breath is terrible. That is it WAS terrible! SmokeScreen is a great chewing gum. It doesn't just cover up the smell, it actually reduces it. I even chew it because I love the flavor, and I don't smoke." Laurie, Wichita Kansas.

SO, WHAT MAKES A BREATH MINT ACTUALLY NEUTRALIZE BAD BREATH PRODUCTION? First, you need a breath mint that does not contain sugar - your breath mint should NEVER have sugar as an ingredient. Rather, the ingredient xylitol should be used. Xylitol is a NATURAL sweetener and has also been proven to have tremendous anti-decay properties. Next your breath mint should also contain zinc gluconate. This ingredient literally puts a "straight-jacket" around those bad breath producing anaerobic bacteria. Specifically, it blocks the receptors on the anaerobic bacteria so that they don't bind with the amino acids thus preventing the production of VSC's (volatile sulfur compounds), which causes bad breath! Remember, your breath mint should be free of aspartame, saccharin, and artificial colors or flavors. Do you see where I'm getting at? The top breath mint fresheners on the market ALL contain either sugar, or an artificial flavor that is designed to cover up rather than prevent bad breath and taste.
