Think of the biofilm on your tongue like grease baked onto a pan. 99% of breath products…
…splash water on it: mouthwash and rinses. It runs straight off in 30 seconds and takes your saliva with it.
…scrape the top: tongue scrapers. You take off the layer you can see, the bacteria underneath are untouched and rebuild before the school run is over.
…or skip the pan entirely: chlorophyll pills and probiotic capsules dissolve below your throat. They never touch the place the smell is made.
A gel doesn't rinse, scrape or skip. It clings. It coats your tongue, the back of your throat and your upper gut in one pass — and it's still there hours later, working, while a mouthwash has already been spat into the sink.
