Question 2

What is the source for this, corn or birch?  Where was this manufactured?

Accepted Answer

I am allergic to corn and was using this For my teeth. At first it was ok and my teeth were looking better but after a while my lips started to get dry and burn when I swished it. My tongue started getting sores and my face would itch . I don’t recommend xylitol from corn if you are allergic even if the manufacturer says it won’t cause an allergic reaction.

Question 3

What country is this produced in?

Accepted Answer

Raw materials definitely from China (I asked Xlear Customer Service); just the packaging is done in USA

Question 4

Is this a 5 pound bag or a 3.4 pound bag?  The 5 pounds is how it is labeled to be sold?

Accepted Answer

This question of weight is coming up because under the Product Description: Amazon has the Shipping Weight as only 3.4 pounds.  That is just incorrect and they need to fix that.   Everything else says it's a 5 lb package.   "Product Dimensions: 7.2 x 3.5 x 11.5 inches ; 5.2 poundsShipping Weight: 3.4 pounds"
