- Maltitol - A sugar alcohol derived from tapioca that has 70-90% the sweetness of sugar. It is not broken down by bacteria in the mount and therefore dose not contribute to tooth decay.

- Inulin - A prebiotic soluble fibre naturally derived from chicory root. It provides food for the good bacteria in the large intestine and promotes good gut health.
