Strengthening your mouth's natural defences
Zendium contains natural antibacterial enzymes and proteins to boost the mouth's natural defences by increasing levels of good bacteria in the mouth and reducing bad bacteria. And we respect the soft parts of your mouth with our mild alternative to SLS, a foaming agent that can irritate gums and inner cheeks.
What's the oral microbiome?
It’s an ecosystem of good and bad bacteria, working in harmony to help the mouth do its work. The microbiome is your mouth’s most powerful defence system. But modern life can upset its balance – so it needs looking after.
100 BILLION
The number of bacteria in your mouth, the same as the number of stars in the galaxy.
80 MILLION
The number of bacteria two people exchange in a kiss.
<5%
Less than 5% of microbes in the world cause disease.
Clinically proven
A team of 34 scientists. Six studies, clinically proving that Zendium works. And all that science inspired by your mouth’s in-built defence: the oral microbiome. Clinical studies prove that Zendium boosts good bacteria, improves gum health and is gentle on soft tissues. Take a look at three of them.
BOOSTS YOUR MOUTH'S MICROBIOME
After 14 weeks, Zendium users had a more balanced microbiome* than people using a standard toothpaste.
IMPROVES GUM HEALTH
100% of people who brushed their teeth with Zendium had better gum health after three months.**
4X milder than other toothpastes
Zendium is four times gentler on the mouth than a standard toothpaste containing SLS.***
*Refers to the gum health and gum problems associated bacterial species in dental plaque which changed significantly over a 14-week clinical study with 102 subjects.
**Refers to the results of a gum health study (China 2019) on the 109 people after 13 weeks]
***Clinically proven. Compared to a toothpaste containing SLS, 30mins after use.
ZENDIUM BOOSTS THE GOOD BACTERIA IN YOUR MOUTH
Zendium's effect on bacteria was proven in an independent clinical study with 102 participants that used either Zendium toothpaste or a control fluoride toothpaste for 14 weeks. Those who used Zendium had an increase of good bacteria and a reduction of bad bacteria, which was not seen for the control toothpaste.

When your mouth needs extra care
There are certain times in our lives when our mouths become more vulnerable than usual. Zendium is there to help you through all of them.
-
Children have three times more taste buds than adults, so they’re especially sensitive to strong flavours and harsh foaming agents like SLS. Zendium is SLS free, as gentle as water, and has mild flavours, so children are more likely to brush for longer.
-
Many women find their sense of taste changes during pregnancy, with some experiencing a metallic taste. Hormone changes can also make pregnant women more prone to gum problems or mouth ulcers. Zendium is clinically proven to improve gum health, and has a milder flavour than most toothpastes, so it doesn’t distort your sense of taste.
-
As we age, our gums shrink and we make less saliva – so we’re more likely to have gum problems, tooth decay, or a dry mouth. We also tend to take medications that can cause swollen and bleeding gums, or cut down saliva even more. Zendium is clinically proven to improve gum health, and it’s free from SLS – a foaming agent that can dry out your mouth.
-
Having diabetes puts you at greater risk of developing gum disease, so it’s a good idea to use a toothpaste focused on gum health. 100% of people who brushed their teeth with Zendium had better gum health after three months*.
