HEALIOS Orange Flavor Oral Health and Dietary Supplement, Powder Form, Naturally Sourced L-Glutamine Trehalose L-Arginine, 11.64 Ounces

Taste questionable but healing for compromised oral tissue

This was recommended by my husband's DR. He developed severe mucositis from chemotherapy. Within 3 days he was able to swallow and speak a little. He felt it was a miracle.

Great product

This is a good product with really good taste. I can say they need to modify the measuring cup to make the powder easier to put into the bottle.

I started using Healios about 1 week before I started radiation for HPV+ SCC. I used it twice daily as prescribed. While I can’t say it reduced mouth sores during treatment or it made the sores less painful, what I can say is I saw my doctor last week and he thought I was about a month ahead of the typical healing process. I continued to use Healios for ~6 weeks after I finished radiation. It’s a shame it’s so expensive as I purchased 5 jars of it and I know there are some reading this who may not be able to afford it. That said, I do think it may have helped me. I started with orange flavor and then switched to grape. I probably should have used grape all along. When I was in the 4th week of radiation, Healios stung a bit while drinking it. I’m not sure if it was a typical reaction or if the citric acid from the orange flavor was the culprit. I started using grape flavor the second week after I finished treatment. The sores were still pretty raw at that point and no pain. Could be a coincidence. I had radiation only so I cannot speak to how it works for patients who have chemo radiation for treatment.
