Clinical Research
- Zinc L-Carnosine, a pharmaceutical in Japan for over 20 years, hosts a large body of research supporting its efficacy in dealing with canker sores (mouth ulcers), oral discomfort, and establishing a healthy mucosal lining in the mouth.
- The double-blind, placebo controlled human clinicals examined cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy. One side effect of this therapy is oral mucositis which is a more extreme form of a mouth ulcers. The Zinc L-Carnosine groups in each study always had lower grade oral mucositis symptoms compared to the control groups.
- Other studies relating to time efficacy of the ingredient display relief in 3-4 days.
