In the US, for some reason, toothpaste is regulated as a drug, unlike other countries that regulate is as a cosmetic. Novamin was manufactured by NovaMin Technologies, which was acquired by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) in late 2009. GSK wanted to make therapeutic claims about Novamin in their toothpaste, but drug labeling and advertising is heavily restricted in the US. GSK would have to get FDA approval, requiring they run the required studies to collect evidence to support those claims.
The projected increase in revenue did not justify the costs, so they decided to move on from Novamin, resulting in its disappearance from US markets as they stopped supplying it to makers.

If the listing is correct, it should have Novamin. All the ones that do, say so on the packaging.

They would have to pay for quite a few medical studies to get approved health labels which wasn't cost effective so they changed the formula for the US product.
You can still buy it on ebay. It wasn't any president's fault and we can all be a little bit more glad our standards are higher than Europe's (for once)
