The Science of NOBS
The Science of NOBS
What is nano-hydroxyapatite (n-HA)?
Nano-hydroxyapatite (nHA) is the mineral that makes up about 97% of your tooth enamel. Our NOBS chew-brush tablets harness 5% nHA to remineralize your teeth naturally, strengthening enamel without fluoride.
A Proven History: Decades of Safety and Effectiveness
Nano-hydroxyapatite isn't a new fad—it's been extensively researched and safely used for over 40 years. Originally developed by NASA to help astronauts combat enamel loss during space missions, nHA has since become a trusted staple in oral health care in Japan, Europe, and beyond. Biöm brings this scientifically validated and globally trusted ingredient directly to your daily routine.
Safety First: nHA Safety Profile
Safety isn't an afterthought at biöm. The nano-hydroxyapatite used in NOBS tablets strictly complies with guidelines established by the EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS).
Our nHA particles fully meet these rigorous safety criteria—no surface modifications, rod-shaped with optimal aspect ratios—ensuring maximum effectiveness and uncompromising safety.
Peer-Reviewed Powerhouse
At biöm, transparency isn't just a buzzword—it's built into everything we do. We're one of the ONLY brands publishing peer-reviewed research on our products. No secrets, just science you can trust.
Battle-Tested in the Lab
We challenged our 5% nano-hydroxyapatite chew-brush tablet in one of the toughest cavity simulators out there—an artificial mouth environment packed with sugar and aggressive, cavity-causing bacteria. Here's how we stacked up:
- Half the damage, double the protection. After relentless acid attacks for a week, teeth brushed with NOBS lost just about 14% of their minerals, compared to a staggering 30% loss without brushing—cutting enamel erosion nearly in half.
- Zero Fluoride, Same Shield. Our tablets matched fluoride toothpaste's performance—each showing about 14% mineral loss. All the protection you expect, without fluoride.
- 2x Protection vs. Placebo. The "blank" tablets (without nHA or xylitol) reduced mineral loss to just 23%. Adding our intentional ingredients nearly doubled enamel protection.
Big-picture scorecard:
- NOBS Tablet ≈ 52% protection
- Fluoride Toothpaste ≈ 51% protection
- Placebo Tablet ≈ 22% protection

Clinical Confidence: Real-World Results
We ran a clinical trial with real users, and here's what they had to say:
Gentle on Your Enamel
Our tablets boast an RDA (Relative Dentin Abrasivity) of just 21.3—one of the gentlest on the market.
RDA measures how abrasive a toothpaste is against your teeth; the lower the number, the safer it is for your enamel. This ensures exceptional cleaning power without compromising tooth health.

At biöm, science meets self-care. Our formulations are meticulously researched, peer-reviewed, and clinically validated, setting a new standard in oral care. No fluoride, no plastic, no compromises
Just NOBS.
FAQs
Nano-hydroxyapatite (nHA) is the mineral that makes up about 97% of your tooth enamel. Our NOBS tablets harness 5% nHA to remineralize your teeth, strengthening enamel without fluoride.
nHA provides similar enamel-strengthening benefits as fluoride without the potential concerns associated with fluoride exposure, making it an ideal alternative for effective oral care.
Yes, nano-hydroxyapatite is safe for all ages, including children. It's non-toxic and provides gentle, effective protection for developing teeth. If you are wondering whether hydroxyapatite would be a good fit for you, we recommend to ask your dental professional.
Absolutely! NOBS tablets are designed to be your complete daily toothpaste solution, providing comprehensive protection and enamel remineralization.
A low RDA means our tablets are gentle enough to avoid damaging your enamel while still providing effective cleaning and stain removal.
While not intended to be swallowed, accidentally ingesting small amounts of NOBS is safe unlike traditional toothpaste.
Yes! NOBS tablets help strengthen enamel and can reduce tooth sensitivity by promoting remineralization and protecting teeth from everyday acid attacks.
