Oralive Dental Regenerative Elixir

An organic nutritional supplement developed by www.ascendedhealth.com which judging by testimonials received, helps teeth and gums to heal themselves (product is swallowed after initially absorbing the nutrients contained through one's gum mucosa). Likely benefits include inhibition of bacteria that cause tooth decay, gum pain, plaque and gingivitis, alleviation of gum pain and bleeding as well as teeth whitening. Apparently has helped some users who were scheduled for root canal treatment to avoid this noxious procedure.

NOTE: My order from this company never arrived here in Germany.  Since I had ordered many products from various US companies (up to a value of c. 600 US$) before, ALL of which had arrived safe and sound, I had asked for "normal" shipment (10 US$) rather than their recommended 40 USD shipment. This is the first item I have ordered from the US which for reasons unknown, never arrived. I will not order again.
