How does it work?

Mucosamin helps to:

• Prevent oral mucositis
• Reduce symptoms of dry mouth
• Relieve pain
• Heal lesions

Mucosamin is made up of two main components; Hyaluronic acid (HA) and amino acids.

Hyaluronic acid (HA)
HA acts as an antioxidant to protect tissues from damaging free radicals, and provides a ‘scaffold’ to allow wounds to heal.

Amino acids
Meanwhile, amino acids assist HA to help ulcers to heal properly and maintain a healthy mucosal layer.
