Calcium Carbonate is an organic substance that delivers multiple benefits when used in toothpaste. It can act as a gentle abrasive that eliminates surface stains from the enamel. It's also shown to eliminate greater amounts of plaque than toothpaste without Calcium Carbonate.

Calcium Carbonate is also often used as a dietary supplement and is completely safe to consume.

The Daybreak Brighten Toothpaste contains fruit extracts from Papayas and Pineapples - known as Papain and Bromelain respectively. These enzymes have been clinically proven to significantly reduce surface stains from the enamel through non-abrasive action.

Unlike peroxide-based solutions, fruit enzymes are plant derived and have no side effects. In comparison peroxide based solutions can damage the protective enamel and result in tooth sensitivity.

Every ingredient in Daybreak's Restore Rinse is handpicked by expert formulators. It does contain a multi-mineral complex that comprises of Zinc, Copper and Magnesium.

In the oral cavity, zinc is found in saliva, dental plaque and in the hydroxyapatite of the dental enamel. It contributes to healthy teeth formation, and plays an important role in the prevention of plaque and dental calculus formation. Zinc also contributes to the reduction of halitosis in the mouth.

Magnesium is anti-inflammatory and helps the body absorb calcium which plays a key role in tooth and bone health.

Our saliva naturally contains trace levels of copper (and zinc). Copper levels in the saliva are know to be inversely correlated with dental caries activity.

Arginine is a natural component of healthy saliva. Numerous salivary microbes metabolize arginine via the arginine deiminase system (ADS), a three-enzyme pathway. An important metabolic by-product of the ADS is ammonia. If produced in sufficient amounts on a continuous basis, ammonia drives the oral pH to seven, a level that is favored by microbes that are found in healthy mouths. L-arginine has been reported to decrease the risk for dental caries.

Daily use of arginine-containing products alters the oral environment in a beneficial way. The constant production of ammonia on a cellular level causes the oral pH to rise. A neutral pH creates a hostile environment for pathogens, resulting in a healthy oral ecology. With a continuous source of arginine, pathogens either die off or become less active metabolically, allowing the oral cavity to achieve and maintain homeostasis.

Zinc lactate (ZnLA) is an organic zinc salt which has antioxidant properties. Zinc salts are known to reduce oral malodor, as well as control plaque and calculus. Zinc can inhibit the formation of volatile sulphur compounds (VSC) which are the main culprits responsible for halitosis.

Aloe vera has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. The plant is also rich in antioxidants. For this reason, aloe vera is commonly used to treat and relieve inflammation related to gum disease and other oral issues. Aloe vera has been found to effective in the treatment of gingivitis, periodontitis, canker sores etc.
