Calcium-Hydroxyapatite (HAp)
Since Natch is a fully vegan product we incorporate calcium-hydroxyapatite (HAp) a version made from a naturally occurring form of calcium phosphate instead of bovine. It is actually the main mineral our teeth and bones are made of (approx. 95% of enamel & 70% of dentin). Studies have shown HAp to be an effective non-toxic alternative to fluoride that can equally help remineralize the enamel and reduce the risk of cavities and tooth erosion.
