“after 2+ years of nothing working, this is the 1st thing to reverse significant muscle damage ... 40% increase in my range of motion, and nearly the same in muscle strength.”
Dentoxol mouthwashes, Plantago major extract, thyme honey extract, zinc oxide paste, vitamin B complex combined with GeneTime, and the consumption of L-glutamine are effective in diminishing the severity of OM. Pain intensity was lower with doxepin mouthwashes and diphenhydramine-lidocaine-antacid mouthwashes.
Acta Odontol Latinoam, 2023 ↗“I tried out L-glutamine. It worked! I saw some real results taking 15g a day.”
