The suitable dosage of xylitol can vary from person to person. A 2016 review found that adults can safely tolerate between 10 grams (g) and 30 g of xylitol per day, which they usually divide into several smaller doses. After the body adapts to xylitol, adults can consume up to 70 g per day without side effects.
Studies in children have used doses of up to 45 g of xylitol daily. Some research suggests that consuming around 5–6 g of xylitol per day may help reduce plaque-causing bacteria in the mouth.
However, the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry say that more research is necessary before recommending xylitol to improve dental health in children. *
