## How Healios Works

### Rapid Glutamine Absorption
L-Glutamine is a key amino acid for mucosal cell repair. Healios is formulated for rapid absorption through the oral mucosa during the swish phase, delivering glutamine directly to damaged tissue where it is needed most.

### Trehalose Cell Protection
Trehalose is a natural sugar that helps protect cells under stress. In the context of chemotherapy or radiation-damaged oral tissue, it supports cellular integrity and may help reduce the severity of mucosal breakdown.

### L-Arginine for Tissue Repair
L-Arginine supports blood flow and nitric oxide production, which are essential for wound healing and tissue repair. Combined with glutamine and trehalose, it creates a targeted formula for oral mucosal recovery.

### Swish-and-Swallow Delivery
Unlike pills or capsules, the liquid format coats the entire oral cavity during the swish phase, delivering active ingredients directly to sore areas. Swallowing continues the benefit through the esophagus and GI tract.

### Grape and Orange Flavors
Palatable flavoring is critical for patients with mouth sores who may already struggle with taste changes. Available in Grape and Orange to encourage compliance even when eating and drinking are painful.

### Individual or Case Ordering
11.64 oz bottles available individually or in cases of 12. Suitable for home use during treatment cycles or facility stocking for oncology and radiation therapy departments.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What is Healios used for?
Healios is an oral supplement designed to support mucosal health and help relieve mouth sores (oral mucositis) and swallowing difficulty. It is commonly used by patients undergoing chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or bone marrow transplant who develop painful oral mucositis as a treatment side effect.

### How do I take Healios?
Swish the recommended amount (per your healthcare provider's directions) around your mouth for 30-60 seconds, coating all oral surfaces, then swallow. The swish phase delivers active ingredients directly to damaged mucosal tissue. Take as directed, typically several times per day during active mucositis episodes.

### Does Healios require a prescription?
No. Healios is classified as an oral supplement and is available without a prescription. However, it should be used under the guidance of your oncology team or healthcare provider, who can recommend the appropriate dosing schedule based on your treatment regimen and symptom severity.

### Can Healios prevent mouth sores from chemotherapy?
Healios is designed to support mucosal health and help alleviate existing mouth sores. Some clinicians recommend starting Healios before chemotherapy begins to support mucosal resilience. Discuss preventive use with your oncology team - individual protocols vary by treatment type and patient history.

### What flavors are available?
Healios is available in Grape and Orange flavors. Both are formulated to be palatable for patients who may have altered taste perception from chemotherapy or radiation. The 11.64 oz bottles are available individually or in cases of 12.
