Zinc proactively fights against bacteria in the mouth, and arginine works to enhance its delivery so that your whole mouth – teeth, tongue, cheeks and gums - gets the benefits of its advanced protection.

The ingredients in Colgate^® Total have been proven safe and effective. You can be assured that Colgate-Palmolive will introduce products into the marketplace only after their ingredients have established an exhaustive scientific record of safety and efficacy. Our daily diet contains many times more arginine than what is possibly ingested during the use of this toothpaste. Similarly, zinc is an essential element that is found in our daily food. The amount of zinc that is possibly ingested during the use of our toothpaste is far below our daily dietary intake and well within the levels that have been confirmed by international safety authorities to be safe. However, if you are pregnant or nursing, as with any product, we recommend seeking the advice of your medical or dental professional.
