Cadbury Adams Launches Trident Xtra Care(TM) with Recaldent(R), Proven to Protect, Strengthen and Rebuild Teeth
Newest Innovation Contains a Unique Form of Calcium Clinically
Proven to Protect, Strengthen and Rebuild Teeth
PARSIPPANY, N.J.--(Business Wire)--
Cadbury Adams USA LLC, the makers of Trident(R) gum, is taking
oral care to the next level with the introduction of Trident Xtra
Care(TM) with Recaldent(R), clinically proven to actively protect,
strengthen and rebuild tooth enamel. Recaldent is a unique form of
calcium derived from milk that increases tooth remineralization
(strengthening) over and above just the salivary stimulation from
regular sugar-free gum. Cadbury Adams USA LLC holds the exclusive
rights in the U.S. to use Recaldent in gum and Trident is the only gum
brand that contains this special ingredient.
Trident Xtra Care builds upon the success of other recent
innovations from Cadbury Adams that have helped fuel the growth of the
global chewing gum industry, including Trident Splash(R) in 2005
(which is now a $394 million brand globally) and Stride(R) gum in 2006
(which now enjoys a 7.1 share).(1)
"Cadbury Adams has an extensive history of developing innovations
in chewing gums, and Trident Xtra Care represents a significant
advance in the chewing gum category," said Dr. Doris Tancredi, Vice
President Regulatory and Emerging Science, Cadbury Schweppes Americas
Confectionary. "Recaldent is a powerful ingredient that actually
replenishes calcium and phosphate to remineralize and protect teeth by
filling in the tiny crevices where cavities can form(2). The result is
that teeth become stronger and less vulnerable to future damage."
"The Trident brand is growing three times faster than the gum
category itself(3)," said Brad Irwin, President, Cadbury Adams USA
LLC. "We're encouraged by what the future holds in store because our
gums deliver against three top food and snacking trends: make it
healthy; make it exciting; and make it easy."
With the addition of Trident Xtra Care to the portfolio, Trident
is poised to continue its global success as the best selling
sugar-free gum in the world(4).
Trident Xtra Care is available in two great-tasting flavors,
Peppermint and Cool Mint, and hits store shelves nationwide May 2008.
Single packs will cost $1.49 and multi-packs will cost $3.29.
