The Lab

Science built
for the
long run.

UNBTN integrates oral comfort, fuelling and endurance performance into one system — designed for repeated use across long efforts and long athletic lives.

Performance without compromise

Longevity foundation

Tomorrow

  • Healthy oral care.
  • Better teeth.

Daily performance

Today

  • Fresh mouth and taste.
  • Gut comfort. Reduce nausea.

Science

  • Acid activates saliva.
  • Calcium makes the acidic system non-erosive.
  • Saliva moistens, cleanses and buffers the mouth.

Fuel the body.

Supports the athlete's existing fuelling strategy during long efforts.

Hydrate the system.

Hydration remains one of the essential habits of endurance.

Reset the mouth.

The endurance challenge

Two things happen in parallel during long efforts. One you feel the same day. The other builds quietly across seasons.

Pathway 01 — During the effort

What you feel today

  1. Heat + exertion

    Long, hot efforts increase breathing rate and challenge fluid balance.

  2. Reduced saliva

    Saliva flow may fall during prolonged effort, reducing the mouth's natural buffering.

  3. Dry mouth + taste fatigue

    The mouth can feel sticky and repeated sweet products become harder to tolerate.

  4. Harder fuelling

    When taste fatigue and discomfort build, athletes may find it harder to stay on plan.

Pathway 02 — Across seasons

What builds over time

  1. Repeated carbohydrate exposure

    Gels, drinks and chews keep the mouth in contact with sugars.

  2. Acid challenge

    Frequent exposure lowers oral pH with less saliva to buffer it.

  3. Long-term mineral pressure

    Across seasons, this environment challenges tooth minerals.

Fuel. Hydrate. Reset.

Fuel the body. Hydrate the system. Reset the mouth.

Science chapters

UNBTN lozenge surrounded by water, representing saliva and oral comfort.

01

Saliva & oral comfort

Research on endurance and oral care describes saliva's general role in oral comfort, and how flow changes during effort.

02

Minerals & HAp+®

General hydroxyapatite research covers the mineral that already builds tooth enamel. HAp+® is developed by IceMedico in Iceland.

03

Repeated fuelling

Gels, drinks and chews repeat for hours. The lozenge is sugar-free — 0 g sugars per 100 g — so it sits alongside your fuelling rather than adding to it.

What we claim. How we support it.

We separate general scientific evidence from testing on our own product, and we never present one as the other.

  1. 01

    General science

    Established science

    Published research on saliva, hydration, carbohydrate intake and oral health informs the broader context.

  2. 02

    General science

    Ingredient evidence

    Ingredient research helps explain what calcium and hydroxyapatite may contribute in oral-care applications.

  3. 03

    Product specific

    UNBTN formulation

    The finished formulation is assessed for safety, quality and its approved intended purpose.

  4. 04

    Product specific

    Field learning

    Structured athlete feedback guides iteration and is presented as experience, not clinical proof.

  5. 05

    Planned — not yet available

    Future clinical studies

    Product-specific clinical research may be added in future.
