The brand list of Dr. John’s Candies was established by Dr. John Bruinsma, a dentist, and his wife Debra, a dental hygienist.
One day in 1995, as Dr. John was about to leave work, he picked up a sugar-free lollipop and put it in his mouth. Before he even reached the door, he threw the lollipop away. He thought, "Is this the kind of candy we give to our patients?" There must be better alternatives on the market. Unfortunately, he couldn't find a better sugar-free alternative. So, he started a mission: to develop the sugar-free candy with the best taste. And thus, the brand list of Dr. John’s Candies came into being.
When Dr. John first thought about making sugar-free lollipops, it was entirely for the oral industry. However, through over 20 years of hard work and innovation, he has become the manufacturer of the world's most innovative and healthiest candies. Dr. John conducted in-depth research and development, adding xylitol to hard candies, and succeeded two years later. This was the first xylitol lollipop on the market! And so, Dr. John’s Candies was born.
