Xlear Nasal Hygiene
Natural and Effective.
Xlear Nasal Spray's secret is natural saline with xylitol
Normal saline nasal sprays can dry out the nasal passage, actually leaving it more irritated and susceptible to external contaminants. But with the addition of xylitol, Xlear Saline Nasal Spray with xylitol will moisturize and soothe your sinus and nasal passages.
Xlear Cough Drops are different. They're naturally sweetened with xylitol
Don’t coat your throat with sucrose, a food bacteria love. Choose naturally sweetened Xlear Cough Drops—the sugar-free option that gives you fast relief when you need it most.

Science-backed Results
Cleanses the Nose of Bacteria
This study found that xylitol blocked adhesion of bacteria to epithelial cells, showing that xylitol inhibits bacteria from sticking to tissue, which allows the body to wash them away.

Cleanses the Nose of Viruses
Researchers at Utah State University performed research to show that xylitol blocked viral adhesion on human airway tissue. Though a similar study was performed previously using industry standards (performed on vero kidney tissue), the FTC required a higher-standard study to show efficacy. This study using that higher standard, shows that xylitol and other sugar alcohols block adhesion of different viruses to different degrees.

Opens the Airway
In a 2015 presentation, Dr. Nsouli shared his findings of a study which showed that a nasal spray with xylitol increased peak airflow 35% more than saline alone and measurably increased participants’ quality of life.

Just a Gentle Spray
Researchers wanted to see if using a nozzle that sprayed a gentler mist for nasal sprays would improve the user experience and thus compliance. They found that a specific nozzle, the one used on Xlear Nasal Spray, provided an “unequivocally favorable experience.”

Reduce Your "SNOT" Score
In this pilot study, researchers wanted to find out if irrigating the sinuses with a water-xylitol solution would improve symptoms of people suffering from chronic rhinosinusitis. They concluded, “Xylitol irrigations result in greater improvement of symptoms of chronic rhinosinusitis as compared to saline irrigation.” and “…a significant reduction in SNOT-20 score.”

The nose is where bacteria and viruses enter the body. Nearly 75% of the visits to primary care physicians in the U.S. are related to upper respiratory issues. We can bring that number down significantly if we start washing our nose.
Wouldn’t it make sense to wash our nose with something that blocks viral and bacterial adhesion?
