Nutrition
We are committed to manufacture high quality products from safe ingredients which are nutritional in nature & adds value to the healthy life style.
We aim to provide full nutritional information for our products wherever possible. This goal takes into account that some of our products come in very small packaging with little space for long statements.
Chewing gum can help oral health and diet.
Frequent consumption of sugary foods and drinks is the major cause of tooth decay. Eating and drinking between meals can also affect oral health if you do not brush your teeth afterwards.
Good oral hygiene habits are also essential to keep teeth healthy:
- Regular dental check-ups to monitor dental health
- Brushing teeth after every meal
- Using dental floss and/or an interdental brush to better remove plaque and food debris from in between the teeth
Chewing gum not only tastes great, feels good and freshens your breath, it can also deliver proven and important benefits.
Healthier teeth
Sugar-free chewing gum has a valuable part to play in oral hygiene, especially after a meal or an ‘on the go’ snack when you are not able to brush your teeth immediately afterwards.
Chewing gum stimulates the production of saliva, which helps to neutralise acids from foods that may contribute to tooth decay.
Sugar-free chewing gum also helps maintain dental mineralisation, preserving the integrity of enamel which is essential for healthy teeth. Stimulated saliva can actually help to repair early dental lesions by remineralising the tooth’s surface.
To obtain these beneficial effects, gum must be chewed at least three times a day for 20 minutes.
Some sugar-free chewing gums contain xylitol, a sweetener derived from birch bark. Xylitol has the same sweetening effect as sugar, but its calorie content is lower. Many international studies confirm the positive effect of xylitol on oral health: as it is a non-cariogenic substance it does not encourage tooth decay because it does not lower plaque pH to the level associated with enamel demineralisation.
Whiter teeth
A sparkling smile helps us to communicate and socialise with others. Scientifically proven ingredients like baking soda in some chewing gums contribute to maintaining the whiteness of teeth, helping to protect against the formation of stains caused by drinks like coffee, tea.
A moist mouth
By increasing saliva production, chewing gum reduces mouth dryness and maintains the appropriate level of moisture in the oral cavity.
A healthy diet
A piece of sugar-free is an enjoyable snack as part of a healthy diet, as it does not contribute significantly to overall daily calorie intake.
We are committed to improving our existing products and future innovations.
A healthy lifestyle requires a balanced diet and an appropriate calorie intake. Sugar plays an important role in contributing to the required energy intake, which is necessary for our bodies to work properly. It is important to get the balance right to ensure we have enough energy for our activities and are not over-storing sugar supplies. Indeed, high sugar intake and obesity have been linked to diseases such as diabetes and heart disease.
The World Health Organisation has published a new guideline that confirms that added sugars should make up less than 10% of total energy intake per day (50g).
The guideline suggests that sugar intake should be reduced to below 5% of the daily total energy intake as a conditional recommendation. Five per cent of total energy intake is equivalent to around 25 grams (around 6 teaspoons) of sugar per day.
Sugar content in PVM confectionary
A single piece of our sugar based candies and chewing gums adds a very limited calorie intake to our diet.
Most candies have a light weight per piece: for example, a single Mentos Mint Mono candy pack weighs approximately 3.4g and approximately 12.4 kcal, accounting only for approximately 0.62% of a 2000 kcal daily energy intake.
In order to help consumers reduce their calorie intake, we have introduced smaller packaging and increased the offer of single-portion packs.
Sugar-free chewing gums
We offer a range of sugar-free products that not only taste great but have fewer calories than sugar-based products.
This means that we can satisfy our desire for sweet things without having to worry about the calories.
