A swallowable mouthwash based on green tea was developed in Brazil

Researchers at the school of Stomatology at the University of Sao Paulo in Brazil have developed a mouthwash based on green tea, which can be swallowed directly without any side effects The main effective ingredient of this mouthwash is catechin, which can not only regulate blood pressure, body fat and lipid, but also reduce calculus and prevent caries and gingivitis According to Andira De Rossi, a professor at the school of Stomatology at the University of Sao Paulo, the initial laboratory project was the effect of green tea on bone repair in dentistry "After being patented, we found that (catechins) can also play a role in anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, anti-corrosive, mineralogical and dental hand restoration." Researchers at the University of s ã o Paulo found that green tea reduced the level of microbes in human saliva They separated catechins from green tea and made them into a higher concentration solution, which was specially used for making mouthwash The researchers confirmed through experiments that the mouthwash will not cause any harm to human health after swallowing Marina moscaldini, a member of the research team, said the natural mouthwash did not contain chlorhexidine gluconate and other ingredients in the ordinary mouthwash, so there were no side effects, "including for children." "Drinking green tea in our daily life has a similar effect, but it doesn't just contain catechins, so it's weak," De Rossi said Our product is a more efficient concentrated solution and can be stored for a long time " The swallowable green tea mouthwash, which has been patented in Brazil, is in the stage of attracting investment and is expected to go on sale in six months.
