I take 2 chlorophyll tablets every day - it took a few weeks to get "fresh", but for me it works well!

Smile Crystal breath

Try Crystal Breath, they work from the inside, they're spearmint oil I think, just pop like 4 of them & they last for hours. You can get them at any CVS or Walgreens.

You're in my hometown, what part?

Excess ketones are exhaled through the lungs. By drinking more water you can dilute the ketones in your system and flush them out through the urine.

If you are already drinking 100 oz or more of water already then taking some form of breath mint may help mask the presence of the odor but will not rid you of it entirely.

Default 'Blitz' Breath-mints

I hate to advertise, but I use 'Blitz' breath mints, they are sweetend with splenda and have only 0.12g of carb each. I usually eat on after a meal... they help mask the strong 'egg' breath and kill the 'cheesy' arouma.

I have never had ketone breath (at least no one has said so) but my pee wreaks of ketones. I recommend more water!

Chlorophyll tablets are most likely found at a health food store.

I have been using the Listerine strips...the values show 0% across the board. They do the trick for me

Red face stinky breath

I am so relieved that I am the not the only one with stinky breath! This is disgusting! However, I have noticed that my teeth feel cleaner most of the time!
