How much Xylitol is in Dr. Johns Candies?
Each Dr. John’s Candies Xylitol lollipop, caramel, nougat and taffy contains approximately 1/2 gram of Xylitol. Each Xylitol Hard Candy disc contains 1/4 gram of Xylitol. At least 5 grams per day is recommended for an anti-caries effect. Our current Xylitol concentration is the maximum we could incorporate and still maintain the shape of the candy. We are continuing to research and develop Xylitol candy which will deliver the daily efficacious quantity of Xylitol with minimum dosing frequency.
