Cavities
Magnolia bark may soon be the next big thing in cavity-fighting toothpaste, suggests a 2016 study in Microbiology and Immunology. For this study, researchers in Japan formulated a series of biofilms infused with honokiol, magnolol, and chlorhexidine (a surgical disinfectant). These were each applied to lab samples of Streptococcus mutans, a bacterial strain linked to tooth decay. 6 ﻿
After five minutes of use, magnolol was able to neutralize S. mutans far more effectively than honokiol, which, in turn, was far more effective than chlorhexidine. Furthermore, magnolol and honokiol were able to achieve these effects at lower concentrations and with less cellular toxicity than chlorohexidine. There is also evidence that magnolia bark's antibacterial properties can reduce bad breath more effectively than minty additives. 7 ﻿
