I think ENML toothpaste starts out of the tube blue and white, then after the hype is over, just red, red, and more red. <G>

re. <<I am more than halfway through my first tube of Enamelon. At the beginning, the paste came out in blue and white. Now it comes out only in blue. >> In order to work right, I think the dispensor is supposed to have two tubes inside it, with two different chemicals that aren't supposed to mix until the paste is actually dispensed. It sounds as if one of the two tubes ran out before the other. If so, I would speculate that would negate the efficacy (if any) of the two 'inert ingredients', calcium and phosphate. I wonder if this means that the FDA would likely require not only testing the efficacy of the toothpaste when dispensed in an ideal manner, but also a test of the dispensor. Moreover, any redesign of the dispensor would seem to require re-testing and re-qualification. That would seem to be a significant extra hurdle this toothpaste has to overcome to get approval for additional claims.
