Biocidin Botanicals™ Launches Dentalcidin® Oral Care System, the First Dentaceutical™ Solution for Oral Microbiome Health

Biocidin Botanicals

Biocidin Botanicals ™, a pioneer in botanical supplements and microbiome health, announced today the launch of its two-step Dentalcidin ® Oral Care System. The system consists of the company’s reformulated and repackaged Dentalcidin® Oral Microbiome Toothpaste along with its Dentalcidin® LS Liposomal Rinse. Combining the toothpaste and oral rinse into a two-step system ensures comprehensive health benefits for customers. It also recognizes the science-backed connection between the oral microbiome and whole-body health. ( Learn more ) “We’re excited to take what we’ve learned over the past 30-plus years about microbiome health and apply it to the things we use every day, like toothpaste and mouth rinse,” said Rachel Fresco, L.Ac., Ph.D., Biocidin Botanicals’ Founder and Formulator. “Research continues to confirm that whole-body health starts in the mouth. These products are more than just toothpaste and mouthwash. We’ve coined a new term for it. They’re “Dentaceuticals ™” – natural dental formulations that improve the health of teeth and gums and ultimately support whole-body wellness. When used together, these products provide incredible health support!” Dentalcidin Oral Microbiome Toothpaste® has been available for several years. In response to customer feedback and keeping with the company’s sustainability goals, Biocidin Botanicals reformulated and repackaged the toothpaste this year, a decision that reflects its commitment to both people and planet. “As a company, we believe our choices matter,” Fresco said. “We care about our customers and listen to them. We also constantly evaluate our impact on the planet. That’s why we made the decision to reformulate the toothpaste to be 100% plant-based and to deliver it in a sleek, stand-up tube that is 100% recyclable. It’s easier to use and easier on the planet.” Both products in the Dentalcidin® Oral Care System are powered by the 18 botanical extracts and essential oils in Biocidin®, the company’s broad-spectrum, legacy formula. This clinically effective, evidence-based proprietary blend has been trusted by health professionals for over 32 years. Great Smokies Diagnostic Laboratories (now Genova Diagnostics) called it one of the most potent natural formulations they’ve ever analyzed. With other select botanicals providing added synergy and benefits, the entire system relies on a 100% natural, plant-based, and chemical-free ingredient list to give practitioners and consumers robust health benefits derived from the best botanical sources. The Dentalcidin® Oral Care System delivers the results usually associated with toothpaste and an oral rinse. It whitens teeth, freshens breath, and is gentle enough for sensitive teeth. But thanks to Biocidin Botanicals’ commitment to putting “Serious Science Behind Every Smile™,” its benefits go far beyond. Comprehensive university research, case studies, rigorous testing, and innovative formulation processes have resulted in a system with unique health benefits. The Dentalcidin® Oral Care System: Assists in removing oral biofilms (plaque) Utilizes liposomal technology for deeper penetration in the periodontal area* Supports gum and gingival health with targeted ingredients such as CoQ10, quercetin, clove, and myrrh* Provides tissue-soothing activity* Supports oral microbiome balance for whole-body health* Keeps teeth feeling clean and smooth all-day “This system really demonstrates the power of botanicals to support a balanced oral microbiome,” Fresco said. “Because oral health directly impacts systemic health, a balanced oral microbiome also supports whole-body health, including cognitive, respiratory, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and joint health. But the reverse is also true. Poor oral health impacts more than just your mouth. That motivated us to develop something uniquely powerful, an innovative Dentaceutical solution.” Dentists, dental hygienists, and integrative and functional practitioners recommend Dentalcidin® toothpaste and oral rinse. Functional dentist Dr. Ariana Ebrahimian says of the products, “I highly recommend Biocidin Botanicals’ oral care products to my patients and use the liposomal rinse in our scaling procedures. They are incredibly effective at busting up harmful biofilms in the mouth and rebalancing the oral microbiome without the harsh side effects of chemicals.” The launch of Biocidin Botanicals’ Dentalcidin™ Oral Care System is a true breakthrough in oral care, bolstering the company’s position as a thought leader and innovator in the botanical supplements space. ABOUT BIOCIDIN BOTANICALS ™ Biocidin Botanicals™ is a leader in botanical supplements and a pioneer in microbiome health. Its legacy broad-spectrum botanical blend Biocidin® was formulated in 1989 in response to challenging health conditions related to microbial imbalances. More than 30 years later, the company offers a curated line of targeted support products to boost patient health. Healthcare practitioners have utilized these clinically effective, evidence-based products for over three decades to help millions of patients achieve vibrant health and wellness.

FutureTrack® by Union Savings Bank, a Goal-Based Planning Service Offers Unique Combination of Personal Coaching, Financial Insights and Digital Tools

Union Savings Bank

Union Savings Bank, a Danbury, Conn.-based community bank, announces the availability of “FutureTrack® by Union Savings Bank,” a goal-based planning service for customers. The program is designed to help customers achieve a variety of life goals – home ownership, starting a family, college planning, saving and budgeting, retirement and more – through one-on-one support with personal FutureTrack coaches and on-going financial insights and digital tools for managing finances. “We know people have diverse financial goals at varying stages of life, and each person defines success differently. But going it alone can be daunting,” said Rick Judd, USB’s Executive Vice President overseeing FutureTrack. “FutureTrack is an opportunity for people to finally feel like they are not tackling financial decisions on their own. Our FutureTrack coaches will help guide people so they can tackle life goals one at a time, building financial habits that will help them throughout their financial journey.” Judd also stated that with inflation rising and recent studies showing that nearly two-thirds of Americans are considered financially unhealthy, FutureTrack is more important than ever. The first step with FutureTrack (click to view:15 videos) is to book an appointment with the FutureTrack team for an assessment. A FutureTrack coach will ask questions about the person’s current financial situation, future goals, both short- and long-term. From there, the coach and “FutureTracker” set a plan on how to achieve those goals. The FutureTrackers will then receive frequent check-ins, educational materials, and recommendations to support them on their unique financial journey. To book an appointment, people can visit any USB branch, book an appointment online, or call the Customer Service Center at 866-872-1866. To become a “FutureTracker” and receive ongoing support, a relationship with USB is required, which enables the customer to take full advantage of the digital tools. Judd also explained that FutureTrack provides the perfect combination of human and technological support that people desire. “Access to ongoing coaching with an assigned FutureTrack coach with regular check-ins, our artificial intelligence (AI) tool like Spending Insights that help monitor spending habits, and USB Round-Up that enables customers to round up USB debit card purchases and automatically move that money into a savings account, plus educational information – all work together to help customers achieve their goals. We know there is a significant need for this kind of service based on industry research and feedback from our customers, and we don’t believe there’s anything quite like FutureTrack in the local community bank space.” According to Forbes “Most consumers are ’goal-oriented’ and focused on long-term savings goals. When it comes to those goals…people are hungry for more help reaching them and personalized advice at key moments. Increasingly, that help could come from artificial intelligence. A recent Accenture survey of North American banking customers discovered 46 percent are willing to use ‘robo-advice,’ 40 percent would consider switching banks to get more personalized service, and 39 percent said they want their financial institution to provide ‘actionable financial advice on a proactive, real-time basis.’” Judd adds, “This is not a one-and-done program ─ it is an ongoing understanding of the customer and their financial goals. FutureTrack is here for our customers throughout their journey, no matter the changes along the way.” In terms of the certified coaches, there are currently 23 Union Savings Bank FutureTrack coaches, and the Bank has more currently going through the certification process. The plan is to add more coaches on an on-going basis, as well. Each coach has completed extensive training through BVS Performance Solutions, a leading financial training company. The coaches are also trained to help customers navigate the various products and services Union Savings Bank offers and can direct customers to various subject matter experts, like mortgage loan originators, financial advisors, and business banking loan officers. Judd said that FutureTrack is yet another example of how the bank is using technology combined with personal service to benefit customers in their daily lives. “This service is designed to enhance the customer experience and help our customers feel like they have a trusted partner they can rely on. It’s less transactional and more relationship-driven and ultimately helps improve financial well-being, all of which are part of our mission.” For more information, please visit FutureTrack www.unionsavings.com/futuretrack. Established in 1866 and headquartered in Danbury, Conn., Union Savings Bank is a $3.0 billion mutual bank dedicated to being the bank of choice. As a full-service financial institution, Union Savings Bank provides banking, mortgage, investment, trust and insurance products throughout western Connecticut with 25 offices in Bethel, Brookfield, Canton, Danbury, Goshen, Kent, Litchfield, Marble Dale, Monroe, New Fairfield, New Milford, Newtown, Ridgefield, Roxbury, Southbury, Torrington and Washington Depot.

GETIR IS THROWING IT BACK TO THE 1990s

Getir

Today, with inflation continuing to raise prices on common household items including food, rapid grocery delivery app Getir announced it would roll back the cost of several popular food items to prices that haven’t been seen since the 1990s. According to the Department of Labor, grocery prices increased by 1.3% in July from the prior month, and rose 13.1% in July from one year ago – the fastest annual pace since 1979. “The global inflation crisis is hitting major U.S. cities very hard, and prices continue to creep up, particularly when it comes to everyday household items,” said Langston Dugger, Head of U.S. Operations at Getir. “Getir is committed to providing value to our customers, so we decided to offer some of our top products at more affordable prices.” Items featured in this promotion include Jif Creamy Peanut Butter, Vlasic Kosher Dill Pickle Spears, Hershey’s Milk Chocolate, and several brands and varieties of dish soap, toothpaste, and breakfast cereals among other foodstuffs. In some cases, the price reductions are quite dramatic; for example, an 8 ounce bag of Lay’s Potato Chips normally sells on Getir for $4.99, and will now be offered at $1.89. A full list of 1990s-priced items is available below. “This promotion, in addition to providing a nostalgic way to offer savings to our customers, is emblematic of what the Getir brand has been associated with across Europe for years: convenience, reliability, and a commitment to providing the best possible customer experience,” added Darienne Page, Head of Public Engagement at Getir. According to experts, food-related inflation shows no signs of slowing down any time soon. Getir’s promotion, which launches this week in its U.S. markets of New York, Chicago, and Boston, will run through September 23rd. About Getir: Getir is the pioneer of ultrafast grocery delivery. The tech company, based in Istanbul, has revolutionized last-mile delivery with its “groceries in minutes” delivery proposition, offering approximately 2,000 everyday items to its customers.

Amidst Inflation, People Are Becoming Hosts on Airbnb

YourUpdateTV

With inflation still a concern for people in the us and around the world, hosting is once again proving to be a vital tool to earn extra income. Recently, Ansel Troy, host of a Host of a tiny house in Oakland, conducted a satellite media tour to talk about his experience being an Airbnb Host and the financial benefits of listing a unique space on Airbnb. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/kv2NETtMVWI Airbnb started in 2008 during the Great Recession, at a moment in which people across the US and around the world were looking for new ways to earn extra income. Now, in the midst of a new economic downturn, hosting is once again proving to be a vital tool to earn. According to a recent survey conducted by Airbnb, 41 percent of Hosts in the US reported that one of the reasons they host is to earn money to help navigate rising prices. Airbnb is sharing new findings showing that new Hosts began opening their doors amidst growing inflation in Q2 2022 – as well as new insights into how these new Hosts are sharing their space as well as their ability to earn. More people start hosting as inflation increases Inflation has been climbing higher around the world. At the same time, more people have begun hosting, specifically in top tourism destination countries with high growth in inflation. While there are other factors that contribute to Host growth – including seasonality, demand and product initiatives – according to Airbnb’s analysis, on average, a one percentage point increase in the inflation rate in a top Airbnb market was correlated with a nearly four percentage point increase in the number of new Hosts in that country for Q2 2022. In the United States, where inflation hit 9.1 percent in June 2022, the number of new Hosts grew by more than 50 percent in Q2 2022, compared to Q2 2021. For new Hosts, it’s mortgages on their mind Hosts around the world have long shared that hosting helps them to afford their home – with the need to pay for their mortgage or rent even serving as a reason why many began hosting in the first place. According to an Airbnb survey, nearly 40 percent of Hosts in the US said that the income earned through hosting has helped them stay in their home in 2021. Now, with the cost of homeownership rising, new Hosts in the US are not only turning to hosting, but also may be hosting more frequently when they get started, to increase their earning potential and cover a larger mortgage. Regions with the greatest hikes in local residents’ mortgage payments also saw an increase in earnings for typical new Hosts in Q2 2022 – suggesting more hosting activity. In fact, according to Airbnb’s analysis, in Q2 2022, a $1 rise in the average American’s monthly mortgage payment – due to the hike in mortgage interest rates from three percent to six percent – was correlated with a 26-cents increase in a new typical Host’s earnings for the quarter. New Hosts see the opportunity to earn Inflation may be rising, but so too is the income Hosts are earning. As Airbnb has reported, in 2021, the typical Host in the US earned over $13,800 – an increase of 85 percent over 2019. The typical income of $13,800 represents over two months of pay for the median US household. For those who have begun hosting recently due to the changes in cost of living, the ability to earn is still strong: New Hosts earned a combined total of over $1.8 billion globally in 2021, up more than 30 percent from 2019. And this opportunity has continued into 2022 – including for younger Hosts, many of whom have discovered hosting as a way to fulfill their dreams even as new financial responsibilities and burdens stack up. In the first three months of 2022 alone, Hosts under 30 in the US alone earned approximately $200 million – after earning approximately $775 million in all of 2021. Hosts are sharing the space they have to get started now With these new economic pressures, more people are not only looking to start hosting, but also to do so flexibly – leveraging the space they have to earn, and quickly. New listings that were activated and booked in Q1 2022 are getting booked faster compared to a year ago, with the average time to get a first booking for the majority of new listings being about a week. In many cases, Hosts are tapping into the demand for more unique spaces to earn real income, with unique listings earning nearly $1 billion just in 2021. Take Host Ansel in Oakland, California, who decided to put a tiny home in his backyard and list it on Airbnb as a way to earn some passive income. After spending about $5,000 on the home itself, Ansel needed to get the rest of the space ready for guests on a budget. Though far from a trained designer, he purchased some tools, rolled up his sleeves and took to the web to teach himself everything from painting to propagating a plant wall in his bathroom – now one of the biggest selling points of his tiny home to guests. Since he began hosting in 2018, Ansel has earned more than $98,000, with the goal of setting up another listing in his home that he hopes will go viral. For Ansel, his own experience is proof that anyone can Host, and anyone can Host anywhere – a no brainer for people to consider hosting amidst economic flux. To find out more about hosting go to airbnb.com/host and get started. About Ansel Troy Ansel Troy is an Airbnb Super host in his hometown of Oakland, CA. His entrepreneurial start began when he was 14 selling newspaper subscriptions to help his mother with groceries and bills. With a propensity for helping others, he graduated from California State University East Bay with a degree in Ethnic Studies and pursued a career in Social Work. In 2013, he purchased a small fixer upper home in East Oakland and spent the next few years making DIY renovations. Four years later, Ansel was looking for a way to earn some passive income - he decided to lean into the tiny home craze and used the equity from his home to purchase a Tiny House to list on Airbnb. He didn’t have the funds to invest in contractors or designers for the fitout, so dove into a self-prescribed DIY YouTube rabbit hole to get the space ready to list. He parked the Tiny House in his backyard; guests loved the experience and responded with rave reviews. A few years into his Hosting journey, his son was diagnosed with Autism. Looking to spend more time at home with his son, Ansel decided to share his tiny home full-time, generating a source of income that helped to lighten the burden of worrying how he would care for him. In 2021, he resigned from a 13-year career in Social Work and currently works from home as a full-time Airbnb Host and Tiny House consultant. About Airbnb Airbnb was born in 2007 when two Hosts welcomed three guests to their San Francisco home and has since grown to 4 million Hosts who have welcomed more than 1 billion guest arrivals in almost every country across the globe. Every day, Hosts offer one-of-a-kind stays and unique Experiences that make it possible for guests to experience the world in a more authentic, connected way.

Is Growing Awareness Of Good Oral Hygiene Driving Growth Of Electric Toothbrush Market?

Bruush Oral Care Inc.

Learn More about Bruush Oral Care Inc., by gaining access to the latest research report. The debate over whether electric or manual toothbrushes do a better job of cleaning your teeth has raged for decades. While both manual and electric toothbrushes are effective at removing plaque, powered toothbrushes often are easier for people who have dexterity issues, such as the elderly, people with disabilities or children, according to the American Dental Association (ADA). The Journal of the American Dental Association published a survey that found that 13,000 out of 16,000 patients who used an electric toothbrush reported better oral health. Still, only 36% of adults say they use an electric toothbrush, according to a report by consumer marketing analysis firm Mintel. The global electric toothbrush market size was estimated to be worth $4.3 billion in 2022 and projected to increase to just over $6 billion by 2027, according to Statista. The market is being driven by the prevalence of periodontal diseases and heightened awareness of the advantages of electric toothbrushes. Electric toothbrush bristles vibrate or rotate to remove plaque buildup from teeth and gums. There are pros and cons to an electric toothbrush. On the plus side, they’re easy to use; most have timers so users can tell whether they’ve brushed their teeth for the full two minutes dentists recommend, and some people feel that their teeth are cleaner. “If you choose an electric toothbrush, make sure the toothbrush is comfortable to hold and easy to use,” said Thomas Salinas, a prosthodontist with the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. “Whether you choose an electric toothbrush or a manual toothbrush, remember that what’s most important is daily brushing and flossing.” Electric toothbrushes also may generate less waste. The ADA recommends replacing your toothbrush every three months, and with an electric toothbrush, you’re just replacing the brush head — not the entire device as you would with the manual version. What Are The Drawbacks? However, electric toothbrushes are more expensive than their manual counterparts; they require charging, and they’re difficult to travel with. And replacing brush heads can be expensive. Replacement brush heads for Sonicare can cost as much as $43 for a three-pack, and the price of Oral-B line of brush heads reaches as high as $40 for a three-pack, depending on the model. What Is A Solution? An example of a more affordable alternative is the Brüush (NASDAQ: BRSH) electric toothbrush, which comes in five colors. Like Blue Apron Holdings Inc. (NYSE: APRN) and Stitch Fix Inc. (NASDAQ: SFIX), which send their food and clothing products to customers who sign up, Brüush’s subscription model makes it easy for consumers to stay on top of replacing their brush heads every three months as dentists recommend. If you sign up for a subscription, Brüush will send you three new brush heads every six months for $18 — just $6 per brush head. The Brüush toothbrush has six cleaning modes for every type of brusher — daily, white, gentle, gum, max, and tongue. Brüush’s electric toothbrush kit sells for $79 and includes the electric toothbrush, three brush heads, and a USB power adapter and charger.

Simple tips and tricks to tackle inflation and manage budgets this Back-To-School shopping season

YourUpdateTV

A recent poll from Morning Consult found that only 36% of parents can afford back-to-school shopping this year without any issues. The National Retail Federation’s latest back-to-school shopping survey also shows a third of families plan to cut back on other spending areas — in order to cover the cost of must-haves for the new school year. Even with so many people concerned about costs, back-to-school spending is expected to hit an all time high this year — a whopping $864 per household for K-12, and $1200 for college students. Despite all of these challenges, there are some simple tips and tricks to save every penny you can for back-to-school shopping and beyond: Look for Student and Seasonal Discount: Flash your student ID and many popular stores will give you discounted rates. You can also take advantage of student discounts through sites such as Unidays and Student Beans. College students usually get the most discounts but many stores have savings for grades K-12 too. Spread Out Payments Over Time with Reliable Buy Now, Pay Later Options: With rising costs, many consumers are looking for greater payment flexibility when making back-to-school purchases. Pay Later with PayPal lets you spread payments out over time. For purchases between $30-$1,500, you can select Pay in 4 1 and break the cost into four interest-free payments with the first payment due at time of purchase. For those larger back-to-school purchases, you can select the new Pay Monthly 2 option and break the total cost into monthly payments over a longer period of time. Pay Later with PayPal gives you more choice in how you pay for purchases so you can select the option that works best for your budget. Learn more at paypal.com/buynowpaylater. Use browser extensions for coupons and cash back: You might think you’ve found the best deal out there, but there’s a good chance there are even better prices still waiting to be discovered. The Easiest way to make sure you’re paying the lowest prices — is to Install the PayPal Honey 1 desktop “browser” extension. This online shopping tool automatically discovers coupons at your favorite stores— and applies the best ones it finds at checkout. It even helps you layer savings by finding rewards that you can redeem for cash back. You can find it at: www.joinhoney.com Shop Refurbished: There are plenty of apps and sites out there to help you track down any used or refurbished items on your list. Whether you’re shopping for textbooks, electronics or clothing, you’ll pay less than if you were to buy the item brand new.
