Is this the original formula of Biotene Oral balance? Does it contain sorbitol? Are you sure it is not the "new improved formula? Thank you

I think those questions are best answered by the manufacturer, personally I prefer the spray. Thanks for asking.Chick Smith

I use the new improved formula never used the original one. I am not aware if it contains sorbitol.
2007055
No, it is the new improved formula with balanced PH, and it does list Sorbitol as one of the ingredients along with Glycerin. I find it works quite well for me. The jell easily spreads around the mouth with the glycerin helping to provide a moisturizing environment.

All the Biotene Gel I received from Amazon was the new formula and does nothing after about 10 minutes. The manufacturers switched over a year ago and the old product cannot be found.

Hi Roberta,I wish I had saved one of the older ones, but I can definitely say that Sorbital is #3 on the lists of ingredients, followed by xylitol which I understand is a blessed ingredient. Since finding one of the older ones is next to impossible I'd say the only thing you need to worry about is the lack of protection that the new formula has. I have lost almost 1/8th" of my original gum line since Smith Glasko and Kline took over from the people who sold this product to them. For me it has totally lost any effectiveness in helping stop my mouth from feeling that Russian Army marched through it from the night before.I hope this will help answer your question!

I am not certain if this is the original formula since I never used Biotene before. Not sure if it contains sorbitol because I threw it in the trash after one use. It is TERRIBLE. Leaves a horrible taste and burning sensation in the mouth, resulting in the need to drink more water--defeats the entire purpose.

Kimberly, I have been using this product for quite some time now, and I cannot tell any change in the formula from the first time I ever used the it. I still love it, and my hair feel clean at the end of the day. So, yes, it seems to be the original. No other company has anything close that I can find. Hope this helps. Jeff

I am not sure about those formulas. I don't use this one anymore unfortunately. I use an organic formula

I no longer have the product but upon checking bioray.com/detox the picture there does differ from the one you show. Don't know if the contents are the same.

Hi Pen, I am a user and you right. Currently the front image is not having the label statement "Chemical-Free . pH Balanced"; the same in the label below. Also there is other change in the lowest label instead of saying "with Coconut Oil" now says "with KuKui Oil". That indicates that they changed the original formulation. I have still a bottle saying the original descriptions. Chemical-Free is the main reason for me to buy this product. While they keep guaranteed that this product is pH-balanced and continue having No SLS and Organic Ingredients also no animal or human cruelty tests I will continue buying it otherwise they will lose a great customer. Regards...

They have changed the formulation of Oral Balance. They have taken out the enzymes and xylitol and it doesn't work at all. It is thinner and burns the back of your mouth and hardly lasts 30 minutes!!! I called 1-800-922-5856 to complain and they will give me a refund for 2 tubes of Oral Balance and one tube of Biotene tooth paste(also without enzymes). I have been using this product for 10 years and it has really helped me at night (I have Sjogrens'). I managed to find some of the original OB at a small pharmacy - the originals will say on the front "Long lasting Symptom Relief" and the new formulation says "New improved pH Balance". What a joke!

Yes it does, it also contains, glycerin, which I was surprized to see since dentists recommend it. There is a phone number if you want to talk with them directly. 1-800-922-5856. My dentist also made dental impressions to creat dental molds and ordered floride gel. I fill the trays or molds and bath my teeth in floride for 30 minutes every night. Dry mouth leads to extra germs in the mouth and more cavities. I have been using Biotene for several years and the floride treatment for a year. I do not develop new cavities. Hope this info helps

I called with the same question. The sorbitol is used to make the capsule, it is not part of the ingredients inside the capsule, so the amount is very small.

I have been using the organic better stevia powder and was very concerned at any hint that it was not pure stevia. I am not allowed to have maltodextrin as it will interfere with a medical protocol I am on. So I went to the Now website and foung really good descriptions of all their various stevia products. The organic better stevia powder in jars is pure stevia. (Whew!) The packets have rice maltodextrin if regular ( not organic) and some other additive if organic. Both also have silica.

Oh, dear. I don't have the bottle anymore but I can tell you that the tablets are 3.5??g instead of the old-fashioned 5g no matter what the blurb on the screen says. The filler is inactive if there is one, probably just the starch that holds the grains together, or I wouldn't have bought it. The tablets are not coated with that stuff that is supposed to make them easier to digest (and cost more) so make sure you drink plenty of water, juice or that your tummy is occupied with well chewed food.

I don't know. I have used it for years and like it. The packaging shows it was developed by doctors and recommended by dentists. Maybe the website has the answer, or has a "contact" email address or FAQ portion.

Hi there, if you look at the product description, it states that it features the original gentle formula. I hope this helps! Have a great day!Victoria-

Hi Herman, Yes, that's correct, we have updated the formula. We are always looking to improve and offer an even better experience for our customers. I'm not sure I follow, though, are you asking if if the new formula is dangerous? Or stating that it is dangerous? Either way, it's not. The formula has taken some small tweaks, but by and large is the same formula, just stronger. We took a few of the smaller ingredients and worked in more of the stronger ingredients, plus added D-Aspartic Acid. The new formula is now even stronger and more potent. Thanks, Matt

Hi, Amzon has a few companies selling the same stuff with a slight difference in the name and price. The Amazon web site calls it "Sibu Beauty Cellular Support with Omega 7 Gels". The top of the jar says << sibu™ BEAUTY, sea buckthorn oil, cellular support, with OMEGA-7, Dietary Suplement, 60 veggie softgel >> I think they the same. Check price. : )

Yes. On the bottle of Oratene that I purchased a few months ago, I have "biotene" written on it. It actually works pretty good with my cat's breath. It's good to know that they changed the name of it because I plan to buy some more.

I'm not sure what the "improved" PH is, but it says original mint flavor, and seems to be the Biotene I first used several years ago. It isn't a gel, it's the original white toothpaste. Besides the flavor and gentleness, I prefer it because it doesn't have coloring added (like the blue gel formula does).
