Manufacturer’s Claim

We’ve taken a look at Aftum Oral Gel which is a product designed to relieve the pain associated with canker sores and mouth ulcers. It is a topically applied product that creates a barrier to protect the injured tissue so that it can heal without any complications. We’ve examined the finer details of this product to determine how helpful it is at delivering on this promise.

Formula

The only active ingredient in this product is hyaluronic acid. The manufacturer doesn’t specifically specify what concentration the hydraulic acid is included at.

Hyaluronic acid is one of the most well-known molecules in molecular and cell biology. This is because it forms part of the cell membrane and the matrix that the cells are rest in. It can contribute to wound healing and other cellular biochemical pathways.

Hyaluronic acid forms the scaffold for many of the other components that are involved in wound healing. Thereafter, it helps skin cells to migrate across the wound to where they are needed for healing. It can also remove damaging chemicals and promote cell growth.

We are unsure if there are any other ingredients in this product as the manufacturer is not open about it. It’s quite likely that this product lacks specific ingredients for treating the pain and itching associated with canker sores.

Instructions

The product comes with an application cannula to direct the application of the product to the affected area. Aftum Oral Gel can be applied between three and four times a day after meals so that it does not get removed when eating. If necessary, the product can be applied more than the stipulated amount.

Cost

0.5 fl oz of Aftum Oral Gel can be purchased online and will cast $19.59. This price does not include shipping or taxes. The manufacturer relies on third-party websites to sell the product and from what we have seen, there does not seem to be any bulk order discounts available.

Possible Side Effects

There haven’t been any reported side effects or drug interactions with regard to Aftum Oral Gel. It has been determined as safe for diabetic people and pregnant women to use this product, as it does not contain any sugars or alcohols and its active ingredient is naturally found in the body.

Guarantee

We couldn’t find any evidence of a guarantee offered by the manufacturer. Even though they don’t distribute their own products it is not an unfair expectation as we have seen other manufacturers that do offer a guarantee on their product. A guarantee is a simple declaration that the manufacturer is confident that the product will work so if a manufacturer doesn’t have one there is decreased confidence in that product.

Aftum Oral Gel Review – The Bottom Line

We believe the manufacturer has a good ingredient in their product, but they are missing some key ingredients. The product is not too pricey and is generally affordable. It is a bit unfortunate that they don’t offer bulk order discounts so customers end up paying more in the long run though. It’s also a major problem that the manufacturer doesn’t offer a guarantee because it decreases the confidence in their product.
