Expanded Qii Oral Care Drink Delivers 52% Plaque Reduction

DoseBiome has released new data on qii, its functional drink for oral health, noting that the beverage reduces up to 52% of dental plaque with each serving. The release of the new data  coincides with the roll out of three new fruit flavors to the range – White Peach, Pomegranate and Lychee Tea.
 
DoseBiome, a resident within Johnson & Johnson Innovation, JLABS @ Toronto, was founded by Ted Jin, who has a background oral care (Crest, Oral-B) and beverages.  
 
“The oral microbiome is an emerging area of research centered around the relationship between beneficial and harmful bacteria. Our team is comprised of PhDs from the fields of microbiology, food science and dentistry who are dedicated to finding innovative ways to improve oral health,” said Jin. “In understanding harmful bacteria and how they form plaque, we have effectively found ways to reduce both, leading to the development of qii.”
 
qiihas a neutral pH of seven that helps to maintain a healthy oral environment. The drink is also powered by a proprietary ingredient called XyVita, a xylitol-based sweetener.
 
The beverage, which  is brewed in the USA using certified organic loose leaf teas, has 30 calories per serving and is non-GMO, vegan, gluten-free, soy-free and low-glycemic.
