- FRESH SPEARMINT GUM: Spry spearmint gum will help to keep you breath smelling fresh and is moisturizing for your mouth. It’s the ideal freshen up gum that is also good for your teeth. Our gum is conveniently packed with a screw on lid container so you can stay fresh on the road, at work, or with your friends. The natural peppermint gives a blast of cool, refreshing flavor, which provides a nice alternative to other aspartame free gum.
- IMPROVES TOOTH DENTAL CARE: Clinical studies have shown that the use of xylitol on a daily basis may reduce the risk of tooth decay. Our spry gum is part of an essential dental defense system that may also help fight off cavities. Xylitol is a natural ingredient that inhibits contaminants' ability to stick to your teeth. When contaminants can't stick, they can't colonize. Ask your dentist and hygienist about the amazing benefits of xylitol.
- SUGAR FREE XYLITOL GUM: Instead of corn syrup or sugar our gum is made with 100% xylitol. Xylitol sweetener is derived from the fibrous parts of plants, similar in taste to regular organic sugar. We use no filler, flow agents or other sugar additives. Xylitol is a natural sugar that tastes just like real sugar and a great choice when looking for sweetners and sugar alternatives.
- NON-GMO GLUTEN FREE NATURAL GUM: Unlike other packs of gum, Spry gum uses natural ingredients that are Non GMO and gluten free. Spry Xylitol gum is 40% lower in calories than other mint gum that contain regular sugars, but contains the same sweetness. It can be a great choice for using in diabetic foods and snacks, keto friendly foods or used in blood sugar support supplements.
- FIGHTS BAD BREATH: Use daily after meals and between normal brushes. For best results use Spry spearmint gum with Spry Coolmint Toothpaste and Spry Coolmint Oral Rinse for a fresh breath. Spry Peppermint Chewing Gum can help prevent bad breath caused by a poor pH balance, dry mouth, and the lack of saliva. Chewing xylitol gum after meals can increase your saliva output and help neutralize the acids that cause bad breath.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Spry safe for people with diabetes or those managing blood sugar?
Yes. Spry is sweetened with 100% xylitol, which has a low glycemic impact and is widely used in diabetic-friendly products. It does not cause the blood sugar spikes associated with regular gum, and it is recommended by many health-conscious consumers managing type 1, type 2, or pre-diabetes. Always confirm with your healthcare provider if you are tracking every gram of sugar alcohol.
I am on blood thinners. Is chewing xylitol gum safe for me?
Chewing xylitol gum is generally considered safe for people on blood thinners, since the active ingredient is a sugar alcohol, not a medication or herb that interacts with anticoagulants. That said, anyone with a bleeding or clotting concern should review the full ingredient list with their prescribing physician, especially if they are on multiple medications.
Does Spry contain any of the artificial sweeteners I'm trying to avoid, like aspartame or acesulfame potassium?
No. Spry is 100% xylitol with no aspartame, no acesulfame potassium, no sucralose, and no artificial fillers. This is one of the main reasons customers with multiple chemical sensitivities and clean-label preferences choose Spry over mainstream sugar-free gums. Reviewers also specifically call out the absence of any Phenylketonurics warning.
I have a dog. Is it safe to keep Spry in my home or car?
Xylitol is highly toxic to dogs, even in small amounts, so any xylitol product must be stored out of reach. Many dog owners keep Spry in a high cabinet, a locked drawer, or a sealed travel pouch, and dispose of used pieces in an outdoor garage trash can rather than a kitchen bin. Cats and other pets are not affected by xylitol, which is a small comfort for multi-pet households.
Is Spry safe for people managing Candida or yeast overgrowth?
Yes, and this is one of the most common reasons people choose xylitol-sweetened products. Xylitol is not a sugar that feeds Candida, and it does not contain the glucose or fructose that yeast overgrowth diets typically restrict. As always, work with your practitioner to confirm xylitol fits your specific Candida management plan.
I have TMJ and can only chew for short periods. Will Spry work for me?
Spry's pieces are a good, manageable size and the flavor typically lasts about 15 minutes, which aligns well with short-duration chewing protocols. Many people with TMJ find that a softer chew and a built-in stopping point makes Spry easier to tolerate than gums that stay flavorful for an hour. Start with one or two pieces and stop when the flavor fades or your jaw feels tired.
Is Spry safer than conventional sugar-free gum with multiple artificial sweeteners?
Yes, for many consumers. Conventional sugar-free gums often contain a blend of aspartame, acesulfame potassium, and sorbitol, which some people prefer to avoid due to sensitivities or clean-label preferences. Spry uses only xylitol from plant fiber, plus natural flavor and a simple gum base, which is a meaningfully shorter and more transparent ingredient list.
I'm worried about the long-term safety of sugar alcohols. Is xylitol safe?
Xylitol has been studied for decades and is widely used in dental products, sugar-free foods, and pediatric care in many countries. At the recommended 5-6 pieces per day, it is well tolerated by most adults and children. People with sensitive digestive systems may want to start slow, since large amounts of any sugar alcohol can cause mild GI upset.
Can I safely use Spry if I am pregnant or nursing?
Xylitol is generally recognized as safe during pregnancy and lactation, but every pregnancy is different. Discuss any new product, including chewing gum, with your OB-GYN or midwife, especially if you are managing gestational diabetes or other pregnancy-related conditions.
Does Spry contain any major allergens I should be aware of?
Spry is free from gluten, dairy, and common nut ingredients, and is vegan and non-GMO. It does not contain Phenylketonurics warnings, which is important for people with PKU. As with any packaged product, read the specific label for the most current allergen information, especially if you have multiple severe allergies.
What if my child accidentally eats a whole blister card of Spry?
While Spry is a food product and not a medication, ingesting a large quantity of xylitol at once can cause digestive upset, including bloating, gas, or diarrhea, and any suspected large ingestion should be discussed with a healthcare provider or poison control. Keep blister cards out of reach of toddlers, and teach older children that gum is for chewing, not swallowing.
Is the screw-on lid blister card child-resistant?
The screw-on lid is designed to keep pieces fresh and pocket-safe, not as a certified child-resistant closure. Treat it like any other packaged food: store it out of reach of young children, especially in homes with toddlers who might be tempted by the bubblegum flavor. The lid does, however, prevent casual spillage, which is a meaningful safety improvement over a basic blister pack.
I'm skeptical that a gum can really help with cavity and dry mouth safety. Is there real science behind it?
Yes. Xylitol is one of the most studied sugar alcohols in dental research, with multiple clinical studies showing it inhibits the adhesion of cavity-causing bacteria like Streptococcus mutans to tooth enamel. It also stimulates saliva flow, which is the mouth's natural defense against acid erosion and dry mouth. Spry is not a substitute for brushing, flossing, or professional dental care, but it is a well-supported, food-grade tool in a complete oral health routine.
How do I use Spry xylitol gum for the best dental results?
Spry recommends chewing 5-6 pieces daily after meals, or about 10 minutes every hour if you have low saliva production. Each piece contains roughly 0.9-1g of xylitol, which falls within the range used in clinical xylitol research. The flavor typically fades around 15 minutes, which is a natural stopping point that aligns with the recommended chew duration.
Can I chew more than one piece of Spry at a time?
Yes. Spry's pieces are a good, manageable size that are designed to be chewed 4-6 at a time, and many customers do exactly that to compensate for the smaller piece size. Chewing multiple pieces at once increases the xylitol delivered per session, which is helpful for cavity defense and dry mouth relief.
How should I store Spry gum to keep it fresh?
Store Spry in its original screw-on lid blister card in a cool, dry place, like a pantry, bedside drawer, or office desk organizer. The screw-on lid seals in freshness and prevents pieces from sticking together, even when carried in a gym bag, car, or travel pouch. Avoid leaving blister cards in direct sunlight or in a hot car for extended periods.
Is Spry gum compatible with braces, retainers, or dentures?
Spry pieces are a good chewable size and not overly sticky, which generally makes them more retainer-friendly than softer, gummier gums. However, any gum can dislodge a loose retainer or get caught in braces, so check with your orthodontist or denturist before adding Spry to your daily routine during active treatment.
Is Spry gum safe to chew while taking medications?
Xylitol is a food ingredient and does not have known drug interactions, but if you are taking medications that affect saliva, blood sugar, or digestion, review the ingredient list with your pharmacist or prescribing physician. People managing diabetes, radiation therapy, or chronic dry mouth often use Spry as a complement to their care plan, with provider approval.
What comes in the box when I order Spry chewing gum?
Spry ships in blister cards with a screw-on lid, which are available in single-flavor packs, variety packs, and bulk count sizes from 10-count travel packs up to 550-count canisters. The blister card itself is the storage container, so you do not need to buy a separate tin. The piece count and flavor selection depend on the specific product you order.
Is xylitol safe for kids, and at what age can they chew Spry?
Xylitol is widely used in pediatric dental products, and Spry is commonly given to children old enough to chew gum safely, typically around age 6 and up. Always supervise younger children to ensure they chew rather than swallow, and consult your pediatrician if your child has any specific dietary or digestive concerns.
What should I do if my pet eats a piece of Spry gum?
Xylitol is highly toxic to dogs, even in small amounts. If your dog ingests any amount of Spry or any xylitol-containing product, contact your veterinarian or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center immediately. Cats, birds, and other non-canine pets are not affected by xylitol in the same way. Always store xylitol products out of reach of dogs and dispose of used pieces in a sealed outdoor trash can.
What is the difference between xylitol gum and regular sugar-free gum?
Regular sugar-free gums are typically sweetened with aspartame, acesulfame potassium, sorbitol, or a blend of these, and they primarily mask breath. Xylitol gum is sweetened with 100% xylitol from plant fiber, which actively inhibits cavity-causing bacteria from adhering to enamel, stimulates saliva flow, and supports dry mouth relief, making it functionally different from a typical sugar-free mint gum.
