Vital Nutrients Hyperbiotics Activated Charcoal Probiotic Toothpaste | Fluoride Free Toothpaste with Oral Probiotics | Supports Healthy Mouth Flora, Fresher Breath, Teeth Whitening* | Vegan | 4 oz

I purchased this product and have purchased it multiple times since. I prefer to use chemical free products and found this to be an excellent toothpaste with no chemicals yet still provides me with the whitening effect that I like. I do not use any other toothpaste now and in fact, my children now use it. It doesn’t taste offensive at all, despite its black color. The only disadvantage is that it does Stain your sink. The stains are not permanent. They are just more noticeable since the toothpaste is black rather than white so you just need to rinse your sink more frequently. That’s not necessarily bad thing. Highly recommend this product with the advantage of the probiotics it’s a win-win.

I feel that this toothpaste does an incredible job. I used it for about a month before my last dental appointment as an experiment. I also brought it into my dentist to see what she had to say about it.In my experience, my teeth felt very clean. This toothpaste did a good job getting rid of that rough coating that starts to develop on your teeth (I'm sure there is a technical term - no idea what it is). The flavor is very subtle - which is fine for me - I don't need my toothpaste to taste like a bowl of candy. I must admit that the first couple of times I used this, I did pause before putting the black toothpaste into my mouth. Completely psychological weirdness on my part, but quickly got over it. Then I thought I would try to gross out my wife with it. Sadly she didn't want to play.So, off to the dentist with toothpaste in hand to play show-and-tell. Overall she was very happy with the condition of my teeth (no cavities! and very easy clean from the hygienist). I showed her the toothpaste to get her opinion. She was very excited about the Xylitol and happily explained why. We both agreed that my teeth had whitened up a shade or two. She assured me too that based on what she saw in the ingredients and upon examination of my teeth, that this toothpaste wasn't doing any damage. I was a little worried that it might be too abrasive, but she said that wasn't the case. She wasn't ready to commit to the potential efficacy of the probiotic aspect but did understand what they were getting at. The one issue she had was that it didn't have fluoride. Ultimately, she suggested that I use my regular fluoride toothpaste in the evening, before bed, to give the fluoride a chance to set up on my teeth overnight and use this in the morning. A reasonable compromise? She indicated that the "other" toothpaste I use wouldn't disrupt the bacterial load this one was trying to establish.All-in-all, I have had a good experience with this toothpaste and continue to use it - but for my morning brush leaving the evening to my traditional sensitive teeth fluoridated toothpaste. This has the added benefit of doubling the life of the tube, which is still a bit on the expensive side.

It works pretty good, but it’s not my favorite probiotic toothpaste. But that is only my personal preference.

I wanted to try a different xylitol toothpaste other than one I’d been using and found this. I’ve been using it for about 1.5 weeks. At first, it took some getting used to because the flavor is just essential oils and not really sweet, but now that I’ve grown accustomed to the taste, this really is my favorite toothpaste now. It leaves my mouth and teeth feeling so clean and has all but eliminated any bad breath I had. Another bonus is I notice substantial whitening in just the short time I’ve been using it. I have a gorgeous smile with this and will continue to purchase it. One drawback is it can make a bit of a mess of your sink, but that’s almost too minor to even mention. I will say, if you’re used to traditional toothpastes with foaming detergents, this will be an adjustment since it has zero foaming, but it’s so much better for you and incredibly effective at getting to the root of any oral health problems rather than simply masking them. Love it.

Unfortunately, this charcoal toothpaste has not made any improvement with whitening my teeth whatsoever, not even one shade or a hint of being whiter. I had high hopes considering the product description, but the result was disappointing.The toothpaste does not have a bad taste at all, in fact you can taste a some what minty flavor. Not a huge minty taste but enough to notice. It is a little on the thinner side, so don't expect a thick paste to come out. You don't need a lot on your toothbrush either. Also, make sure you spit in the sink carefully as this does get all over. I have had no issues with it staining my teeth or making them worse, just not better, whiter or brighter!What doesn't work so great for me, just may work better for you, hence my giving 3 stars instead of 1. The tube should last a very long time. I have used this now for almost 4 weeks and can't really notice much gone and I did put the toothpaste all along my toothbrush.I passed this along to one of my older children, hoping they will have a better experience with it and notice brighter, whiter teeth. As for myself, no, I do not feel the price was worth this tube of toothpaste and find that baking soda, which only cost .50, works much better. IF my son has a better experience, I will update my review with a better rating. If he does not, then no, I would not recommend this to others, nor would I purchase it again. Sorry sellers, for this bad review but I am just being honest. Maybe you need to make some changes to your ingredients so it works as described?
