Bad breath can change how you feel in a conversation, after coffee or halfway through the day. Nudge was made for that moment: fresh mint flavor, the natural refreshing power of chewing, and two researched oral probiotic strains in one easy ritual.
Because a fresh mouth is about more than flavor. Chewing stimulates saliva to help rinse away food particles and keep your mouth comfortably moist. Nudge brings oral-microbiome science to the same habit, so your everyday gum feels like an intentional part of oral care.
Coffee breath. After-lunch breath. That dry, stale feeling before a conversation. Reach for Nudge to refresh with mint and get saliva moving, helping your mouth naturally clear loose food particles and feel fresh again.
Saliva is one of the most overlooked parts of fresh breath. Chewing helps keep it flowing, supporting a moist, comfortable mouth during the long hours between brushing.
Saliva helps buffer and dilute acids produced by plaque bacteria. It’s a well-established benefit of chewing sugar-free gum after eating.
Saliva delivers calcium and phosphate that participate in enamel’s natural remineralization process. Sugar-free chewing helps put that system to work.
Give your mouth a fresh reset after the foods and drinks that linger. A mint-forward chew and saliva stimulation make for a more enjoyable way to finish a meal.
Nudge goes beyond mint by adding 1.2 billion CFU per piece at manufacture from two specific oral probiotic strains studied together in chewing gum. A thoughtful addition to a fresh-breath routine.
It’s called saliva. Far more than moisture, saliva helps clear food particles, neutralize acids and maintain the conditions your teeth and gums experience all day.
Chewing sugar-free gum is a simple way to stimulate that natural response. Nudge makes it easy to turn an after-lunch chew or an afternoon break into a purposeful oral-care habit.
What happens when you chew?
Your mouth produces more of its natural rinse.
Saliva helps bring the oral environment back toward balance after meals.
Calcium and phosphate in saliva contribute to normal remineralization.
Chewing engages the muscles used for mastication and activates the salivary response.
Most people think of bad breath as a flavor problem. But oral odor can also be influenced by dry mouth, food residue, tongue coating and the bacteria that live in your mouth. That is why a complete fresh-breath routine pays attention to the oral environment, not just the flavor of a mint.
That’s why Nudge is more than a mint flavor. Our oral probiotic gum contains Lactiplantibacillus plantarum KABP®051 and Levilactobacillus brevis KABP®052: two specifically identified strains investigated together in a clinical trial involving chewing gum.
Fresh mint is the immediate experience. An intentional daily oral-care habit is the bigger idea.
Nudge combines the natural benefits of sugar-free chewing with a precisely identified probiotic pairing. The exact strain matters because probiotic research is strain-specific.
CFU per piece at time of manufacture
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot study published in 2021 investigated this probiotic strain pair in chewing gum. After six weeks, participants in the probiotic group had significantly greater oral detection of both bacteria compared with placebo. Researchers also found an association between higher levels of L. brevis and a lower plaque index within the probiotic group.
A named strain studied as part of the oral probiotic pairing.
Investigated alongside KABP®051 in the published chewing-gum trial.
Additional breath research: a separate 2024 pilot study examined oral malodor using a probiotic supplement that included KABP®051 and KABP®052 plus a third strain, alongside oral-hygiene measures. Oral malodor scores improved during the study, including in the hygiene-only group. This adds relevant context to the field but is not a clinical test of the Nudge two-strain gum. Explore that pilot study ↗
Study context: 40 volunteers in a pilot trial, with probiotic gum used twice daily for six weeks. The study investigated oral detection of the bacteria; the plaque finding was correlational.
Morning breath, coffee breath and post-meal breath are familiar for a reason. Food residue, a drier mouth and the activity of oral bacteria can all affect how your breath smells. Some oral bacteria produce volatile sulfur compounds, molecules associated with unpleasant oral odor.
For Nudge, fresh breath starts with a pleasurable mint chew and the saliva stimulation that comes with it. And because oral bacteria are part of the conversation, we formulated Nudge with precisely identified oral probiotics rather than treating flavor as the whole story.
Mint for the moment. Chewing to stimulate saliva. Specific oral probiotic strains chosen for the mouth. A small daily ritual with a considered reason behind every part.
Why sugar-free chewing matters ↗Fresh breath feels effortless when your routine is working with your mouth. Nudge brings mint freshness to the moment you chew, while stimulating saliva, which helps rinse away food particles and maintain moisture. Oral bacteria, tongue coating and saliva are all part of the science of breath, which is why Nudge takes the microbiome seriously.
Plaque is a bacterial biofilm that forms on teeth. When plaque is allowed to accumulate, it can harden into tartar. That’s why a consistent brushing and flossing routine matters. Between those moments, chewing sugar-free gum supports saliva’s natural plaque-acid-buffering action.
Nudge brings the additional dimension of two studied oral probiotic strains to this everyday routine, making it a thoughtful choice for people who care about their gums and their oral microbiome.
A satisfying mint refresh with the natural saliva response that helps your mouth feel clean and comfortable.
Make use of stimulated saliva’s ability to neutralize acids from plaque bacteria.
Support a thoughtful routine that recognizes the role of plaque and the oral microbiome in gum health.
Put the natural muscles of mastication and your salivary glands to work in an enjoyable daily moment.
You don’t need another complicated ritual. Just a familiar moment in your day that becomes more intentional. With Nudge, your gum can be part of how you care for your mouth between brushing.
A clean mint reset when coffee breath is the last thing you want to think about.

Everything you might want to know before making Nudge part of your routine.
Nudge combines refreshing sugar-free mint gum with two specifically identified oral probiotic strains. Chewing stimulates saliva, which helps rinse the mouth, neutralize plaque acids and support the natural mineral environment around enamel. Nudge also adds KABP®051 and KABP®052, a strain pair studied in a human chewing-gum trial.
Nudge combines an immediate mint-fresh experience with the natural benefits of chewing sugar-free gum. Chewing stimulates saliva, helping rinse loose food particles, dilute plaque acids and keep the mouth comfortably moist. It also brings two specifically identified oral probiotic strains into your routine. That makes Nudge a thoughtfully formulated way to make fresh-breath care part of your day.
Your mouth contains a complex community of microorganisms, and its composition is relevant to research on breath, plaque and gum health. Nudge uses two precise strains, L. plantarum KABP®051 and L. brevis KABP®052, which were investigated together for oral detection after regular chewing-gum use.
The American Dental Association explains that chewing sugar-free gum stimulates saliva, helping neutralize plaque acids. Saliva also supplies calcium and phosphate involved in natural enamel remineralization. Nudge makes that everyday chewing habit easy to enjoy.
Plaque is a bacterial film that forms on teeth and can mineralize into tartar. Daily brushing, interdental cleaning and professional care are important for plaque and tartar management. Between brushing sessions, sugar-free gum supports saliva’s plaque-acid-buffering action. Nudge also includes a probiotic strain pair evaluated in a study that reported a correlation involving plaque index.
Yes. Chewing involves the muscles of mastication and stimulates salivary activity. It’s a simple physical action that makes the benefits of saliva stimulation possible, without adding time at the sink.
A 2021 randomized, placebo-controlled pilot trial involving 40 volunteers examined gum containing KABP®051 and KABP®052. It reported significantly greater oral detection of both bacteria after six weeks and an association between L. brevis levels and plaque index. The research regimen was twice daily; Nudge’s label directs one piece daily. View the study on PubMed.
Many people find the perfect moment after lunch, after coffee or during an afternoon break. Follow the label’s suggested use of one piece daily and choose a moment you can easily turn into a habit.
Think of Nudge as a considered, all-day oral-care routine: brush with Nudge 10% nano-hydroxyapatite toothpaste, use mouthwash and floss as appropriate for your routine, and enjoy oral probiotic gum between brushing. Explore Nudge oral care.
Make fresh-breath confidence a daily habit, with mint, saliva stimulation and researched oral probiotic strains in every chew.
