The enzymes, proteins and antibodies contained in the saliva fend off the first unwelcome intruders already in the mouth. Saliva also provides natural protection for the teeth. The ions it contains, such as sodium, calcium or fluoride, keep bacteria away from the teeth. And with the saliva, fungi, viruses and food residues are also washed away and swallowed at the same time, which has a cleansing effect.
Saliva also helps us with supposedly quite banal functions such as speaking, tasting and swallowing. Anyone who has had to struggle with a dry mouth for a long time will notice what it does.
Thoroughly chewing the food also makes it easier to swallow.
Water and other sugar-free drinks are good for moistening the mouth every now and then.
Good oral hygiene prevents many diseases and contributes to a natural protective effect.

As glycerine is a very versatile product, it is used in almost all industries, including as a food additive. With its moisture-binding and softening properties, glycerine is also an important ingredient in Grether's - ever since the original recipe of 1850.
