Iotech International Introduces Ioshield Gum Defense - A Swish-And-Swallow Nutritional Formula
Brushing, flossing, irrigating, and rinsing are essential for healthy teeth and gums, but for most adults, they may not be enough. Healthy gums also depend on maintaining a balanced oral microbiome and on the nutrients that support strong gum and bone tissue.
Recent research shows that our mouths require a healthy balance of beneficial bacteria to avoid the ravages of periodontal disease. A number of micronutrients have also been shown not only to target periodontal health but also to work together synergistically to shield periodontal tissue from disease and destruction.
Unlike traditional mouth rinses that are spit out after use, ioShieldTM Gum Defense does more. Each of ioShield’s ingredients was carefully researched and selected to directly support periodontal health. Consumers simply mix the powder with water, swish for 30 seconds, and then swallow. Swishing coats the teeth, gums, and oral tissues, while swallowing delivers nutritional support to the body, making it a must-have addition to a daily oral wellness routine.
“It’s a completely different way to think about gum health,” said Dr. Herb Moskowitz, Chairman of ioTech International. “Most oral care products work only while they’re in your mouth. ioShield Gum Defense begins by supporting the oral environment during the swish and continues working as a nutritional formula after you swallow it. It supports the oral microbiome while providing key nutrients that healthy gums and supporting bone tissue need every day.”
Each daily serving of ioShield Gum Defense was formulated to provide 4 billion CFU of Lactobacillus reuteri, a probiotic studied for its ability to support periodontal wellness, along with three key prebiotics and 18 vitamins, minerals, and micronutrients, all formulated specifically to help support oral microbial balance, gum nutrition, bone nutrition, and fresh breath.
Growing scientific evidence continues to highlight the importance of maintaining healthy gums. Clinical studies have shown that combining Lactobacillus reuteri alongside conventional periodontal therapy resulted in greater improvements in periodontal pocket depth than conventional treatment alone. Another controlled study demonstrated a 90 percent reduction in periodontal pathogens following twice-daily ingestion of the probiotic. ioShield Gum Defense is formulated with 4 billion CFU per daily serving, 8 times the amount used in one published clinical study.
Research continues to reinforce the link between oral health and overall wellness. A 2023 United Kingdom study of approximately 100,000 adults found a 4 times higher rate of cardiovascular disease-related mortality among individuals with periodontal disease than among those without it, underscoring the importance of supporting lifelong gum health.
“Consumers are increasingly looking for convenient ways to support their health,” added Dr. Moskowitz. “With ioShield Gum Defense, supporting healthy gums can be as easy as mix, swish, and swallow. Patients will receive the critical nutrients and microbial balance that regular office visits and home care do not provide.”
Dr. Moskowitz emphasizes that using ioShield Gum Defense is simple. Mix one level scoop with six ounces of cold water, then stir until dissolved. Swish each mouthful for 30 seconds, then swallow and repeat. The entire process takes just a few minutes and fits easily into a daily wellness routine.
ioTech International recommends using ioShield Gum Defense daily as part of a complete oral care routine that includes brushing, flossing, rinsing or irrigating, regular dental checkups, and following your dental professional's recommendations.
