Apagard Premio
Apagard Premio is the 'original' hydroxyapatite toothpaste from Japan. It contains a higher concentration of Medical Hydroxyapatite (mHAP) than their standard version, specifically designed for superior remineralization and whitening.
Quality & Materials
Contains Sangi's proprietary Medical Hydroxyapatite (mHAP), which was the first HA ingredient approved as an anti-caries agent by a national government (Japan, 1993).
Evidence & Testing
Extensive Japanese clinical data supports its ability to fill micro-fissures in enamel and remove plaque-causing bacteria.
Brand Transparency
Company history is well-documented, but English-language technical COAs can be harder to source for US consumers.
Value Assessment
Expensive due to import costs and the high concentration of mHAP. Usually sold in smaller 100g tubes.
Why Not Alternatives?
While Boka and Davids are newer, Apagard has the longest track record of clinical success with hydroxyapatite. It is often more effective for restorative care than basic 'natural' pastes.
