Synopsis

Rating (out of 5): 4
Calcium Potassium Phosphate Citrate is a mineral complex that includes calcium, potassium, phosphate, and citrate ions, all of which play roles in oral and dental health. Scientific evidence strongly supports the use of calcium and phosphate ions in maintaining and remineralizing tooth enamel. Calcium and phosphate are essential components of hydroxyapatite, the mineral form of calcium apatite found in tooth enamel and dentin. Numerous studies have shown that topical and dietary sources of these minerals can help restore demineralized enamel and support overall tooth strength, particularly when combined with fluoride. Citrate, while sometimes a chelating agent that can increase calcium solubility, is present in low enough concentrations in supplement forms that it does not counteract the remineralization benefits of calcium and phosphate. Potassium ions are well-established in dental science for their role in reducing tooth sensitivity by depolarizing nerve endings in dentin.
Calcium Potassium Phosphate Citrate is found in some dental care products (such as remineralizing pastes and oral rinses) and dietary supplements designed to support tooth mineralization. The scientific consensus is that adequate intake of these minerals is beneficial for dental health, with the strongest evidence for calcium and phosphate, moderate evidence for potassium (mainly for sensitivity), and limited but supportive evidence for citrate's ancillary role. Therefore, its use to support the teeth body system is scientifically justified.
