Manufacturer’s Claim
Canker Care+ manufactured by Quantum Health is an all natural product that can be used to relieve the pain from canker sores. Canker sores are non infectious ulcers that are caused by a variety of factors and have a genetic predisposition. They appear several times a year and can be irritating and limit a person’s function to some degree. This product contains an ingredient that is designed to reduce the discomfort caused by them so that they do not have such an effect.
Formula
The only an active ingredient in this product is 0.5% menthol. Menthol has been tested quite extensively in the clinical setting and there is a lot of research about it. It can be used as a local anesthetic and soothing agent because it increases the sensitivity of the cold receptors in a tissue which dampens any feelings of pain or itching. It also has bacterial fighting qualities to reduce the chance of developing a secondary infection in the canker sore.
Instructions
Canker Care+ can be applied to the affected area up to four times a day unless specified differently by a doctor or a dentist. The product comes with a brush applicator to help the customer apply it effectively to the canker sore.
Cost
33 fl oz of the gel can be purchased online from the manufacturer for the price of $8.29. This price does not include shipping or taxes. The manufacturer does offer general discounts on their product if the customer signs up for their rewards program.
Possible Side Effects
Menthol has been known to exhibit some side effects of hypersensitivity. This very much depends on the person and the symptoms may vary too. People may be unaware of their mild allergy to menthol and have a reaction to it. The general signs of an allergic reaction are hives, difficulty breathing and swelling. There are some reports that it is not safe for use in pregnancy so pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers are advised to consult a doctor before using this product.
Guarantee
If a customer finds within 30 days of their purchase that they are not satisfied with the product for any reason they can contact the manufacturer who will tell them how to go about returning the product and then the customer will receive a refund.
Quantum Health Canker Care+ Review – The Bottom Line
The manufacturer of this product uses well-researched ingredients and their instructions are easy to follow. We believe this product may work well as a reliever of canker sores but we have noted that some other manufacturers products can double up as a preventative agent too. We couldn’t find any evidence that this product is able to do that. We also feel that the guarantee is not valid for a long enough time for customers to try the product as some manufacturers offer 60 days or more. We suggest customers take a look at these dual acting formulas to see if that might benefit them better.
