You didn’t talk to someone at Laclede about Biotene. That’s the product they sold to GSK years ago, and GSK ruined the formula of in the name of profits, taking out all the expensive enzyme components. Laclede no is bound by their non compete, and came out with Salivea, which is the original Biotene enzyme formula that GSK Biotene didn’t want to make anymore. If you talked to someone about Biotene recently you were talking to a division of GSK. The giant conglomerate that felt expensive salivary enzymes didn’t need to be in the tooth paste. All they really wanted to buy was the brand name that had a following. It was worth millions. They changed it and told no one. Giving people essentially Crest toothpaste with glycerin added into it.

I have been buying the Salivea products from Amazon and getting them regularly without issues.
