| How does Chlorophyll work? |
 | Chlorophyll has the ability to reduce the activity of certain proteases and therefore inhibits the formation of mouth and body odor from the inside. It either attacks the odor-causing protein compounds directly, or it redirects the decomposition process before any odor-causing compounds can be formed. |
| Where does “Dietary Mouth Odor" come from? |
| Dietary mouth odor is caused by metabolism changes – especially with low-carbohydrate diets. If the body does not receive enough carbohydrates, the lipid metabolism suffers. In order to counteract the lack of carbohydrates, the body produces so-called ketone bodies which are exhaled as foul-smelling acetone. |
| What are the most frequent causes for mouth odor? |
| Highly odorous food and beverages, such as onions, garlic or coffee, are well known to cause mouth odor. Another frequent cause is a lack of oral hygiene as well as infections of oral mucous membranes or teeth. Less frequent is mouth odor as the result of metabolic or gastro-intestinal diseases. |
| What are the most frequent causes for body odor? |
| Highly odorous food and beverages, such as onions, garlic or coffee, may also be the cause for body odor, as may be the lack of personal hygiene or excessive perspiration. Metabolic diseases and hormone changes may also trigger an increase in body odor. |
