Arginine gelling agent matrix: ColgateRecent Research Landscape

Unstable active delivery in oral environments leads to poor bioavailability and short contact times. Engineering the specific interaction between arginine and gelling polymers ensures sustained therapeutic release and structural stability.

What technical problems is Colgate addressing in Arginine gelling agent matrix?

Enamel acid demineralization

(4)evidences

Pathogenic microbial growth on dental surfaces leads to decay and periodontal disease. Preventing this accumulation reduces the risk of systemic oral health failure.

Toothpaste manufacturing instability

(3)evidences

Standard oral formulations often fail to maintain effective concentrations of arginine on dental surfaces during use. Improving the residence time and stability of the active matrix ensures therapeutic efficacy against dental hypersensitivity and caries.
