Dear Customer,

We receive a number of calls each month asking us how to pronounce our company's name. Once and for all, we'd like to Xlear the air... I mean clear the air.

Xlear is pronounced "clear." The catchy spelling is credited to founder Nathan Jones when he introduced the company's first product, Xlear Nasal Wash, in 2000.

Why the X? As many of you have guessed, because the company develops products with xylitol, we borrowed the X and the rest is history.

This month, Xlear announced that it has expanded its retail presence to more than 4,000 retail stores throughout the United States and Canada — read the whole story on the Website. You can now find Xlear products in every state and the D.C.

In July, we will have some more exciting news to share with you about the company. We are in the process of making some major changes that will help us to better serve our customers. Stay tuned!

Xylitol News & Research

Bright Smiles for kids, DenverPost.com
"...nonprofits are telling parents about an artificial sweetener, Xylitol, which actually kills harmful bacteria in the mouth and helps prevent transmission to other family members, thus preventing cavities. Dental Aid is developing a program to provide Xylitol gum to new mothers immediately after delivery, with instructions to chew it four times a day to prevent transmission of bacteria to their infants."

Xlear Product Testimonial

Thanks to Elaina T. from Painted Post, N.Y. for her Spry testimonial.

My daughter, age 10, has been brushing with Spry toothpaste for over a year now. A couple of months ago she had a check-up with the orthodontist. His assistant was so impressed by the lack of plaque on her teeth that she actually asked what toothpaste my daughter uses. They have a very busy office and I'm sure she looks in dozens of mouths each day, so it is no small thing that she would even ask. My daughter said, "I told her that I use Spry with xylitol in it!" The assistant replied that she would have to "look it up."

"Thanks for making such a great toothpaste!

"Mrs. T."

We also thought we'd share with you this testimonial about Xlear Nasal Wash from  A.J. in Allen Park, MI.

"I was plagued with infectious sinus trouble all my life, suffering violent headaches. Nothing really helped that didn't also turn me into a zombie. I read about Xlear a number of years ago in Dr. William's newsletter and tried it. I have been using it ever since, in the morning and evening and since then have had no sinus infections (except when I feel so good I forget to use it a few days.) It has helped with my allergies and when I feel I am coming down with a cold, in which case I also spray the back of my throat. The cost is reasonable and I have (tried) to convince my family and friends that using Xlear is the 'way to go.'"

"A.J."
