The Moisyn™ Advantage: Moisture Retention
Not all dry mouth rinses are created equal. Many products on the market use a simple approach: they add moisture to the surface of your mouth. The problem is that moisture quickly evaporates or gets swallowed, leaving you dry again in just a few hours.
Moisyn™ takes a more advanced approach. Rather than just replacing moisture, it both retains and replaces moisture, keeping your mouth comfortable for up to six hours. Most alternative products only provide relief for up to four hours.
The difference comes down to the technology. Moisyn™ is powered by ChitoTek™ and Glycerin, a combination backed by published clinical research. Competing products often rely on enzymes, oxygenating agents for halitosis, or basic glycerin, but these ingredients do not offer the same lasting results as ChitoTek™.
Ingredient Safety and Profile
We understand that what you put in your mouth matters. Moisyn™ is formulated with safety and daily comfort in mind. The formula is free from:
- Alcohol
- Parabens
- Sulfates
- Artificial Dyes
Moisyn™ uses a naturally derived formula with a mild spearmint flavor. This flavor profile was specifically designed to be non-irritating and pleasant, so patients are more likely to use it consistently and get the full benefit.
Please note: Moisyn™ contains shellfish derivatives (Chitosan). If you have a shellfish allergy, please speak with Dr. Ashley before using this product.
How Moisyn™ Works: Science vs. Substitution
When it comes to treating dry mouth, there is a big difference between simply wetting the surface of your mouth and actually locking in moisture.
Most competing rinses use wetting agents that coat the surface. The liquid sits on top and either evaporates or gets swallowed. Because it does not bond to the tissue, relief fades quickly, and patients are left reaching for the bottle again soon after.
Moisyn™ works differently. Its key ingredient, ChitoTek™, enables a process called mucoadhesion. Think of it like the difference between pouring water on a sponge and pressing a moisture-locking film directly onto it. ChitoTek™ actually adheres to the tissue in your mouth, creating a lasting shield of hydration rather than a temporary coating that disappears.
The result is a rich, hydrated environment that is pH balanced and safe for your enamel, making Moisyn™ a smart long-term choice for managing dry mouth.
The Power of ChitoTek™
The effectiveness of Moisyn™ starts with ChitoTek™, a scientifically proven combination of two key compounds: Chitosan and Arginine.
Chitosan is a natural, shellfish-derived polysaccharide that has been clinically proven to improve moisture retention and patient comfort. It is also non-toxic, biodegradable, and biocompatible, making it a safe and well-tolerated ingredient for everyday use.
Arginine is a semi-essential amino acid that works alongside Chitosan to take its moisture-retaining properties even further. As a positively charged organic compound, Arginine enhances the effectiveness of Chitosan through the ChitoTek™ process, helping your mouth stay hydrated longer after each use.
Together, ChitoTek™ moistens, lubricates, cleanses, and freshens the mouth, offering comprehensive comfort in a single rinse.
