Our solution is to sell oral care products that minimise the short term impacts of betel chewing, and promote the longer term oral health of chewers. Our products are designed for low income betel chewers, and prices range from US$0.075 to US$0.24 per unit (sufficient for 1 day). To date we have developed and tested a unique chewing gum formula, a mouthwash and toothpaste. We will sell our products at the same shops that sell betel nut, thereby being easily available for even the lowest income betel addicts, and improving the businesses of betel sellers, rather than threatening their livelihoods.
In phase 1, our products are designed to reduce the negative impacts of betel chewing, not as addiction cessation therapies. We are working on an addiction cessation therapy as a second phase, and have filed for a patent with our partner at the University of Florida, a world leading addiction expert.
Our products are designed to be scaled across the region.
