1. What is DXN Zhi Mint Plus?
DXN Zhi Mint Plus is a herbal lozenge developed for two simultaneous goals:
- Immediate breath and throat care — fast neutralization of oral odor and an icy-cool soothing sensation for dry or irritated throats; and
- Subtle functional wellness — a small, regular delivery of Ganoderma lucidum extract to contribute antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and adaptogenic support as part of a daily self-care routine.
In form, Zhi Mint Plus is a dissolvable lozenge — not a chewable gum or quick-melt candy. The design choice is intentional: slow dissolution keeps active ingredients in contact with the oral and pharyngeal mucosa for a longer period, which improves both symptomatic relief (throat soothing and volatile aromatic release) and local absorption of botanical actives.
Key product highlights:
- Natural mint extracts and menthol for fast breath neutralization and cooling comfort.
- Ganoderma lucidum extract (standardized) for adaptogenic and antioxidant benefits.
- Sugar-free options using maltitol to avoid tooth decay and abrupt blood-sugar spikes.
- Resealable sachets and compact packaging for portability.
- Clean-label approach — limited artificial additives.
2. Why this blend? The logic behind mint + Ganoderma
On the surface, a mint meets a mushroom seems odd. But the product logic is simple and cleverly synergistic:
- Mint (peppermint/menthol) acts immediately. Menthol molecules are volatile — they vaporize and bind to. Mint acts fast—menthol and peppermint provide a cooling sensation that helps neutralize odor-causing molecules, giving you quick confidence. It contains polysaccharides and triterpenoids associated with immune modulation, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory effects. While a single lozenge won’t overhaul your immune system, consistent micro-dosing as part of a daily ritual offers supportive benefit over time — a gentle “wellness underpinning” rather than a dramatic therapeutic dose.
Combined in a slow-dissolving lozenge, these two actions create a product that addresses both a momentary social need (freshening breath, easing a dry throat) and supports broader resilience (calm, antioxidant support) in a subtle and convenient way.
3. Ingredient Breakdown: What’s Inside and Why It Matters
Primary Function: Neutralise malodorous molecules and provide throat comfort.
Menthol: Triggers cold receptors in the mouth and throat, creating a cooling effect and fresher breath. Menthol and peppermint create a cool, fresh sensation and help neutralise breath odours. Active Ingredients: Polysaccharides (including beta-glucans) and triterpenoids.
Polysaccharides: May help balance immune responses, while triterpenoids have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Polysaccharides support the immune system, and triterpenoids act as antioxidants. Daily use enhances benefits over time. It also has fewer calories than sugar and is gentler on blood glucose levels.
Maltitol: Provides sweetness with minimal impact on teeth and blood sugar levels. However, large amounts may upset the digestive system. A lozenge contains only a small amount, making it minimal. DXN emphasises avoiding harsh synthetic additives commonly found in mainstream confectionery.
4. How Zhi Mint Plus works in your mouth and body — practical physiology
Immediate action (within minutes)
- As the lozenge dissolves, menthol and mint essential oils vaporize and are released into the oral and nasal cavities. This produces:
- a cooling sensation that soothes irritated mucosa;
- reduction in perception of nasal congestion (subjective sense of clearer breathing);
- neutralization of malodorous sulfur compounds to improve breath quality.
Local absorption (during dissolution)
- As the lozenge dissolves, Ganoderma compounds in contact with your mouth may interact with immune cells. As the lozenge dissolves, Ganoderma compounds may act locally for gentle immune support. greater resilience to stress and throat irritation over time.
5. Real-world benefits — what you can expect
Zhi Mint Plus is positioned between conventional breath mints and daily wellness supplements. It is designed as a functional daily aid—offering both immediate breath care and ongoing support—rather than as a standard mint or strictly a medicinal supplement.
- Fresher breath, fast. Expect a rapid, noticeable improvement after one lozenge. It neutralizes odor sources more effectively than sugary mint candies, which merely mask the smell.
- Soothing throat relief. The slow-dissolving lozenge keeps cooling agents in contact with tissues, soothing scratchiness from talking, dry air, or light irritation.
- Portability & confidence. Discreet sachets make it easy to keep a mint in your pocket before a meeting or a call.
- Subtle daily wellness. If you use it regularly, you may appreciate a small increase in overall calm and antioxidant support thanks to Ganoderma’s bioactive profile.
- Oral-health friendly option. Sugar-free formulations are kinder to teeth than sugar mints.
6. How and when to use Zhi Mint Plus — practical tips
- Do not chew. Let the lozenge dissolve slowly to maximize mucosal contact time. Chewing releases sugars and shortens exposure to actives.
- Timing ideas:
- Right before presentations, meetings, or dates.
- After coffee or meals, when brushing isn’t possible.
- During flights or in dry environments to ease throat drying.
- As a “focus pause” mid-day, the act of slow dissolving acts as a small mindful break.
- Dosage: Use as needed; follow the product packaging for the maximum daily dose. For functional wellness, occasional micro-dosing throughout the day is typical.
- Pairing: Use with an oral hygiene routine — brushing and flossing remain primary oral care. Zhi Mint Plus is a complement for situations when brushing isn’t possible.
7. Safety, contraindications, and practical cautions
- Pregnant or breastfeeding? Consult a healthcare professional before introducing consistent herbal supplements. While mint is generally safe, Ganoderma's adaptogenic compounds require caution in pregnancy and nursing.
- Medication interactions: Ganoderma can affect immune function and possibly interact with immunosuppressant medications, anticoagulants, or other prescription drugs. Check with your doctor if you take medication on a regular basis.
- Allergies: Individuals with mushroom allergies should avoid products containing Ganoderma. If you have an allergy to menthol or specific mint varieties, do not use.
- Sugar alcohol sensitivity: Maltitol may cause gastrointestinal symptoms in some people in high amounts. Lozenges contain small amounts, but if you’re sensitive, monitor reactions.
- Children: Lozenges are generally not recommended for young children due to the risk of choking. For older children, consult a pediatrician for guidance.
8. Packaging & practical design — why the sachet matters
DXN ships Zhi Mint Plus in small, resealable packets — a deliberate choice:
- Freshness: Keeps mints dry and maintains volatile oil potency.
- Discretion: Enables pocket or purse carriage without spills.
- Hygiene: Limits exposure to contaminants.
- Portion control helps users monitor their daily intake of Ganoderma extract.
9. How Zhi Mint Plus fits into a broader wellness routine
DXN positions the product as part of a larger ecosystem. In practice:
- Oral care pairing: Combine Zhi Mint Plus with a consistent brushing routine and, if you prefer, DXN’s Ganoderma-infused toothpaste for a unified ingredient philosophy.
- Daily ritual: Use as a small micro-habit — take one mint before important interactions to cue focus and calm.
- Complementing supplements: If you already take adaptogens like cordyceps or reishi capsules, consider the total daily amount (and consult a healthcare provider) to avoid overconsumption.

11. Practical scenarios — real-life use cases
- Sales presentation: Take a 10–15 minute break before speaking to ensure your breath is fresh and your throat is moist.
- Travel day: Use when boarding to combat dry cabin air and to help you feel brisk when disembarking.
- Post-meal meeting: When brushing isn’t possible, melt a lozenge to neutralize garlic or coffee odors.
- Class or lecture day: Keep one in your pocket as a discreet throat refresher between sessions.
12. Sustainability & manufacturing notes
DXN emphasizes higher-quality sourcing and avoids harsh artificial additives — both factors that appeal to consumers who care about product origins and ingredient transparency. When choosing functional oral products, look for clear labeling on:
- Ganoderma extract standardization (polysaccharide/triterpenoid content),
- Sugar-free sweetener identity and amounts, and
- Third-party quality assurances were available.
