Frequently Asked Questions



Is any mouthwash suitable for children?

Most mouthwashes are not suitable for children as they contain alcohol. Grants Herbal Mouthwash does not contain alcohol, nevertheless we do not recommend its use for children under the age of 12 as there could be underlying oral care issues. We recommend you seek the opinion of an oral care practitioner, before allowing children to use a mouthwash.

Why should I use an alcohol free mouthwash?

The alcohol in most mouthwashes is not an active ingredient – it does not kill bacteria. Alcohol can actually dry your mouth, reducing the amount of protective saliva which would usually wash away excess food and bacteria. Odour causing bacteria flourish in a dry mouth. Long term exposure to alcohol can potentially lead to oral cancer. Switching to an alcohol free, plaque reducing mouthwash like Grants Herbal Mouthwash is an excellent alternative to an alcohol based mouthwash.

I have recently recovered from a debilitating illness, have no appetite and am very tired. I was recommended Grants Vitamin B Liquid and am not sure how much to take.

Taking a vitamin B supplement can help when recovering from an illness that has left you tired and with little energy or appetite. Grants Vitamin B Liquid provides a balanced, readily absorbed amount of the B group vitamins, in a pleasant tasting, easy to swallow liquid (not like tablets which are hard to swallow and do not absorb as quickly). The body uses the B vitamins to convert carbohydrates into glucose, which it then ‘ burns’ to produce energy. We suggest taking 10ml – 15 ml, three times a day.

My 18yo son is doing his final year at school and is very stressed. Can I give him Grants Vitamin B Liquid every day, and if so, how much?

The final years at school can be very stressful for many students. The Grants Vitamin B Liquid will not take away that stress, but it can help students cope better with their stress. The B complex vitamins are needed more during times of stress, and are essential for the normal functioning of the nervous system. The Grants Vitamin B Liquid provides a balanced, readily absorbed amount of the B group vitamins, in a pleasant tasting, easy to swallow liquid. We suggest taking 10ml – 15 ml, three times a day. To fit in with school hours, students could take some before school, after school and just before going to bed. We recommend any supplement taken daily should be regularly reviewed by a health care practitioner.

Is the alum in the Grants Crystal Deodorant the same as aluminium?

One of the naturally occurring minerals in the Grants Crystal Deodorant is alum. It has larger molecules than the smaller molecules found in aluminum. Larger alum molecules are not absorbed by the body. They do not prevent perspiration or block the pores of the skin, but they do help prevent odour.

How does the Grants Crystal Deodorant stop odour?

Grants Crystal Deodorant works when the moistened crystal is applied to the underarms. A thin layer of the mineral salts are left behind on the skin, stopping bacteria causing odour but allowing the skin to breath and perspire naturally.
