Dentist-Approved Electrolytes That Won't Dissolve Your Teeth
Shop NowDry mouth and dry lips are signs your body is not holding on to moisture properly. A dry mouth is more vulnerable to health concerns such as bad breath, ulcers, tooth decay, gum sensitivity and more.
Electrolytes are an essential tool to improve oral health and hydration. However, most electrolyte powders rely on Citric Acid (E330) to mask the taste of salt. The result? A drink as acidic as a soda that erodes your enamel with every sip.
Oshun Electrolytes come dentist-recommended, with 0% citric acid and a healthy neutral pH.
1. How to Spot a Dehydrated Mouth
You don't need to run any expensive diagnostics to work out if your oral health is at risk of poor hydration. Here are the common symptoms that could lead to more serious issues:
- Dry lips
- Bad breath
- Gum sensitivity
- Dry mouth.
We produce up to 1.5 litres of saliva per day. Hydration is key to support this, but it's not just about drinking more water. It's about giving your body the tools (essential electrolytes) to absorb and hold on to moisture.
2. The Problem with Electrolyte Powders: Tooth Decay
If you have a powder stick of electrolytes near you, check the ingredients for Citric Acid.
Electrolyte powders come in fruity, mouth-watering flavours like "Tropical", "Lemon-Lime" or "Watermelon Crush". To create these tangy flavours, brands flood their formulas with Citric Acid to cover up the taste of salt.
According to dental studies, a pH below 5.5 begins to dissolve tooth enamel. Due to their reliance on Citric Acid, most electrolyte powders have a pH of around 3. For context, that's the same acidity level as a cola. If you’re sipping on flavoured electrolytes all day, your hydration habits come with a slow-motion acid bath.
3. The Dentist-Approved Solution: Oshun Electrolytes
Oshun was formulated for the purist. By stripping away the flavourings, the acids, the synthetic sweeteners and sugars, we created a hydration solution that works with your body’s natural chemistry, not against it.
- Enamel-Safe Hydration: Sip all day without the "fuzzy teeth" feeling or increased sensitivity.
- Ionic Bioavailability: Sourced from the Great Salt Lake, our minerals are already in ionic liquid form, meaning your body (and cells) recognise them and absorb them instantly.
- The "Invisible" Electrolyte: Because it has no flavouring or added acid, you can add Oshun to coffee, tea, or water without changing the taste profile of your favourite drink.
